So it's the day after the weekend long hop and we're back again to no comments. That's ok because I feel like writing and sharing. I worked on a birthday card for my mom last night - her birthday is today and I couldn't post it last night just in case she took a look at my blog. It was highly unlikely but I didn't want to ruin the element of surprise.
I knew I wanted a flower on my card but I wasn't sure of the design so I went back to the hop and looked at http://polkacabana.wordpress.com/author/polkacabana/ because I had seen a lovely ladybug card that I kind of wanted to copy. I didn't but I tried to tie in part of what she did. If you haven't been to Jeannie's site go check it out - she's awesome!
The Project:
The paper is Colorbok and the flower is random cardstock that I wet down and molded. I popped a nice pearl in the middle to add some class. I brushed it with a dark blue stamp pad along the edges for depth.

I also downloaded some great fonts from http://www.clubcreatingkeepsakes.com/ and used the CK Andie font. I thought it looked really cool. I also stamped it with this cute little hummingbird stamp that I picked up at Joann's for a song. I hardly stamp - I just can't get into it. My boyfriend picked up a bunch of them at a yard sale last year for me. Not sure I'm going to keep them. They may become a RAK in the future when I get my new craft area.
Well, I hope you enjoy the card. I had a really good time making it and my mom liked it so I guess I did good.
On a different note, I took my seedlings outside today for a little while to weather them. Here you can see the way I transported them back into the house - on a silver platter! Nothings too good for my future food!
