TIME OUT #84 - Inspired By Words

This week at TIME OUT, we have a challenge where we are asking you to be inspired by the following words:
'Flowers and Friends make life a garden'

We are very lucky to have Michele with us as our Guest Designer -- I am sure you are already familiar with Michele and her stunning cards - her blog I Card Everyone is a
showcase of beautiful and really creative designs.

Here is how I was inspired by the words:


I started out by applying some white embossing paste through a Forileges Design stencil to add some texture to the background. I then added the frame (die cut with some circle dies) with some foam tape before adding the Copic coloured flowers and W Plus 9 Sending die cut. The flower is from Stamplorations - a set called Bloom Sketches - I don't know what kind of flower it is so there is a pretty good chance that it shouldn't be blue....  If you like the stamp,  Stamplorations is offering a gift voucher to their store for the winner of the challenge :)   - another great reason to join the fun and play along!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Jill

    Blue is my favorite color so already that is enough to make me love this card but I do all other elements of it too -especially the texture in the bg and the two-tone sentiment. I have this die too but have forgotten about it, thanks for the reminder! :)

    This is gorgeous Jill. I love the embossed background. Love al ombre "sending". The flowers set on the circle frame look wonderful and I had to laugh at your comment that whatever flower they are, they probably shouldn't be blue. Well, blue works great for them here, so blue wins. Fabulous creation!
