Blessings To You

Hey everybody,

It's time for another challenge at Twist of Faith, and this time around our challenge is to create a shaped card (something other than square or rectangle).  This definitely was a challenge for me, because I needed to do something that didn't require dies to make the shape.  Luckily I found inspiration at Maria's Studio, and you can see the project she made that inspired my card.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Digi Darla Designs, and I chose this adorable stamp titled "Flower Girl" that I colored with my Pro Markers.  The winner of this challenge will get "5" stamps of their choice, so I hope you'll join in the chance to win.

My good friend Tona loaned me her Martha Stewart 4 petal punch, so that I could cut out all these little flowers - Thank you Tona! 

Other mediums used:

Papers: Floral is made by Martha Steward Crafts that I got on sale at Michaels, and the solid colors are from my stash.

The darkest colors are a lot lighter than they appear in my photo.  I just wasn't able to get them lighter without changing all the other colors.

Ribbon: from my good friend Tona (bless you girl!)
Pearls: Pearl Stickers from Michaels
Swirls: Beading Wire from Walmart, and the paper swirls made with my sizzix dies.
Butterfly and leaves: butterfly and larger leaves were cut out by hand, and the smaller leaves, again my friend Tona cut some for me with her spellbinder's dies.
Border and scallop: border - made with my Martha Stewart border Punch, scallop - I just used an off brand scallop pair of scissors.

Thanks for taking the time out of your day and stopping by.

Judy, this is such a neat card format, and you have done quite a lovely job with it. The flowers are lovely, but your little image is top notch. It is the "perfect" insert for the "pot." Great card!

Wow! I looked at Maria's card, and it was lovely. Then I looked at your card, and it was most lovely as well. I really liked how you took your inspiration project and made it your own! So many details, and the level of work that went into it. It's amazing that you could do so much without having to resort to dies! Your color choices really said "Spring is here", and all the flowers are so pretty. Loved your digi image too. Just a beautiful card. TFS
