Back from beyond...

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I did a post here. This year has been busy and with a full list of complications. In addition, Flicker is now not allowing me to log in with a Google account. So this blog should see some more of me. :-)

So I'll post this beauty. It was made with a Hero Arts sketch #3 from their monthly challenge. I'm also going to post it to the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays challenge: Three Thirds. I used three layers of flowers and three pearls for the flower center.

Cas-ual Fridays Three Thirds

I used the Hero Arts Flower Bursts stamp and the Hero Arts Say It All stamp. A strip of tan cardstock separates the stamped strip from the rest of the card and give a natural edge to the stamped border. I used Tim Holtz Broken China distress ink for the flower stamp and Tsukineko VersaMagic ink in Sahara Sand. The flowers were salvaged from a silk flower when I was working at the flower shop and I added three pearls to the center.

I actually had a hard time with it, even with a sketch and a stamp in mind. Sometimes simple is more complicated.

But I love how it turned out.
