Hope you are enjoying your weekend. We had some wonderfully unseasonably warms temps here in St Louis this weekend. I was able to get in a little yard work on Saturday. It also allowed me to get outside to take photos of some cards. I have reclaimed my dining room table -it used to be my photography location for my cards. I have had a tough time finding another spot with good lighting, so getting outside this weekend was a pleasant surprise.
I have an extremely ambitious and talented blogging friend, whom many of you may know, Lesley Croghan of Always Playing with Paper. She has started more challenge blogs than anyone I know! Just recently, she has started providing us with a weekly inspiration photo. This week, I am honored to be asked to guest design for her, using this beautiful photo~
The rustic vase and sweet bouquet reminded me of cottage gardens and was the perfect opportunity to ink up this gorgeous new-to-me Power Poppy image. My Prismacolor Pencils have been sorely neglected and I got them out as well, to color the flowers on kraft. The sentiment is from PTI; it is heat embossed.
I am linking up to Simon Says Stamps Work it Wednesday Challenge, 'Use something New' as well as Just Us Girls- 'Tic Tac Toe'- Flowers, stamps and die cuts.
Also linking up to The Paper Players Tic Tac Toe Challenge- 'Flowers, Die Cuts, Yellow' and 'Die Cuts, Pink, Girly'.
Thanks so much for stopping by and hope to see you over at the Inspired by All the Little Things Challenge!
