Here's a card that I made for the Impression Obsession Encouragement challenge. I love sending cards to people just to let them know that they are on my mind and that I am thinking of them, whether in good times or in bad.
I made this with the IO Flower Tub C1182 stamp and a PTI sentiment. Simply stamped and coloured with Copic markers, a couple of dies and the resin flower from Prima is a perfect match in colour! I added the MS punched foliage. The patterned paper is Basic Grey Indian Summer....I know it's Fall paper, but couldn't resist using because of the colour match :)
Thanks for taking a peek today,
Have a great week-end!
It's warm here and there's a Margarita calling my name ;)
I will be participating in our community garage sale tomorrow morning...not really a garage sale holder, but I have been busy cleaning and pricing various goods this last week...wish me luck in selling. At least if I have a lot of goods left, the community center will have three charities that will take our "stuff" and distribute/sell for a good cause.

Hello again! It is a very cold day here today and the wind is blowing! Warmer days are ahead, but until then, here is a card that i made for the City Crafter Challenge #40, to use handmade flowers on a card and I am combining this with the Impression Obsession challenge to create a card using the colour purple, based on the SC316 sketch challenge.
I started by stamping this pretty I.O. Garden Window image onto a sheet of cherry wood "paper" and then onto a scrap of a light blue patterned paper. I went over the window frame and window box with a white prismacolor pencil to give it a bit of a whitewashed look. I coloured the flowers, leaves and my cabbage with Copic markers and used a white gel pen to hi-light the curly edges of the lettuce. I then cut out the patterned paper version, minus the window box and frame and adhered it to the stamped image on the wood paper. I arranged the different sized panels (all Memory Box 6 X 6 from Poppyfinch) onto the front of the card, adhered and then layered the image on top in the center panel. The paper flowers are made from the Poppyfinch papers, and a floral Cuttlebug die. The fabric rose has a pearl center and I made it from a silk scarf that I had and have never worn, but the silk is luscious and very easy to work with. The sentiment is also an I.O. one and I stamped it a couple of times onto a scrap of purple paper from my stash and used SU punches to cut out and separate the words.
That's it :)
Thanks for taking a peek!
