Make Your Own Flower at Sentimental Sundays


Hello everyone!  I hope this finds you all enjoying your weekend and taking some time to relax a bit...maybe make a card or two?  If you find yourself in need of a fun challenge, why not join us over at Sentimental Sundays for this week's challenge - "Handmade Flowers."  You can use any technique to make your own flower but just don't forget to include a sentiment on your card!

For my card, I went to my old, familiar standbys....Verve.  Ahhhh...I just love it.  :)  I used Julee's Mojo Monday sketch and combined it with this month's Get Your Diva On challenge over in the Verve forum at Splitcoast.  This month's challenge is to use fabric on your card so I dug out some of the SU! fabric I bought before Christmas and got to work.







Stamps: Faithful Phrases, Galatians 6:9 (Verve)  Ink: Cherry Cobbler  Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White, Blushing Bride DSP  Accessories: Cherry Cobbler seam binding, Floral Circles Cut Above Die (Verve), twine, buttons, sponge dauber, Labels Seventeen Nestabilities, paper piercer, Sweetest Stem Embosslit

Here's a bit of a close up of the fabric flower:



I hope you will join us this week - there are so many ways to make your own flowers and I, for one, can't wait to pick up some new techniques from all you talented crafters out there!  Enjoy your week!
