Carol Mayne - you are here
Inspiration for my card came from this sweet sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #215
which I pretty much did case! Who can resist that big, happy, star-of-the-stage bloom! I dove right in! On my card you'll see images from Summer Flower Pops Detailed and Solid Stamps and Dies and, the newcomer on the block, a die-cut Spring from the Seasons set. I wasn't confident enough to create a stem (me create a straight line? Even with a ruler? Hahahahahahah.....) so I used a little happy birthday stamp. I *think* it works; hope you do, too....
NOTE: Honoured and delighted to receive at Honourable Mention at CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #215. THANK YOU!!

ReplyDeleteFabulous card, Carol! Love the bright bold bloom and the happy birthday as the stem. Clever idea! The wonky stitches around the card add a great textural detail, too. :) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou are so stinkin' clever Carol! I know you "CASed" but your use of the Season's Spring die and the words for the stem are so fun and inspired!
ReplyDeleteA stunning, clean and simple BEAUTY!!!! Your 'happy birthday' stem and where you placed the 'white-on-white' sentiment is BEYOND BRILLIANT! Adore the bright pink blossom!

I have some tulips that color that just bloomed. Unfortunately, the dandelions are also in full bloom. I like the stem idea to carry the message. Very nicely done!

ReplyDeleteBold and so pretty, Carol ... love how you did the stem ... for me that'd be more complicated that drawing a line!! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty flower Carol and I love the sentiment stem and the die cut 'spring', and the stitched rectangle looks great. x
