I made this card for my SCS pen pal and also for CS161. Since I don’t have any tab punches I used my scallop tag punch and cut the bottom off, stamped "celebrate" and used it like a tab. On the card itself, "celebrate" is very clear, unlike it is in this picture. I inked the center of the flower pedals in red and then the ends in blue but I don’t know if I like the effect or not. For me, these 3 colors for the color challenge were hard to put together. The Build-a-Brad was fun, but took many, many ½” samples to find something that would tie all the colors together. The red and blue centers I tried just didn’t work for me. Not only did I try stamped centers I also went through all of my patterned paper too, but ended up with a stamped center in green.

Well you may have struggled with this one, but I think it has worked very well - the two tone flower petals and words stem look really nice, this really caught my eye!
