Melanie's Flowers

Dear Ones~
Boy, I didn't know if I was gonna get this card for the Mod Squad Challenge done before the deadline or not. Thankfully, I found the time. We had our grandsons with us from last Thursday until Sunday. What fun we had. Then yesterday Himself and I went to Traverse City to pick up our new-to-us Subaru Forester. LOVE it!! So happy to have it.

But I digress - the challenge over at Mod Squad this week was to make a card with flowers. Our sponsor is the over-the-top talented Melanie Muenchinger, illustrator for Gina K Designs. If we use her stamps we get our name put in the prize pot twice.

Here's my card:

Here I stamped Melanie's Inspiration Mosaic image. This is a background stamp that provides all those layered rectangles. I love it, so many possibilities. After I stamped it on GKD White Card Stock, I masked off some of the rectangles and stamped those big flowers from Melanie's A Year of Flowers Stamp Set. The greeting is from the Inspiration Mosaic set too. I colored those flowers with Copics, and paper pieced the patterned paper from HOTP in the other rectangles. Then I mounted the whole thing on GKD Wild Dandelion, Black Onyx and Jelly Bean Green Card Stock. I thought those yellow pearls were a good final touch.

So that's it. I had so much fun crafting again. It has been too long, almost a WEEK!!! Yikes!!! I'm hoping to get another card done today. We shall see. It's St. Paddy's Day, so I need to get my corned beef going. Have a wonderful day, and thanks for stopping by. I adore your comments.

  4. How did I miss this the first time around. It's gorgeous and so bright and cheerful. It's a good thing the winner is a random drawing or between you and Donna the rest of us wouldn't stand a chance!

  7. Love the paper and he flowers on this mosaic stamp. Green and yellow make me think of spring. Glad you had fun with the grand kids. You did not mention the ages but I am sure there was a lot of activity involved.
