I got up way to early this morning so I looked for the Ways to Use it challenge..
WT383: In Stitches
I die cut the first wild bloom and used it as a stencil. I used my copics to blend a bit inside the cutout. I used R81,83 & 85 for inside the flower and G82 & 94 for the stem. I cut another Memory Box wild bloom out and adhered it over the colored stencil.
As I went to sew around the edges I messed up one of the corners.... It was way to early to be sewing. I ended up covering it up with the photo corners. It was actually a simple and quick card. With this sentiment it can be used for almost anything.
CENTRAL THEME CT0612: Diamonds and Pearls
Thanks for looking

Beautiful flowers and the corners, which may have been added to cover an oops, really add a nice touch to the design of the card! Hurray for happy accidents!

So it was too early to be sewing but not too early to be coloring? Your coloring always looks amazing, Irene! I love this card and isn't it funny how sometimes a mess up will cause your card to look better than expected? I think this is wonderful~
