Congratulations to Grace (scrappigramma2) on being crowned as this weeks Queen for the Day... you are very deserving of this honour... your gallery is full of beautiful, amazing works of art.
I chose to case this lovely card SC177 Art of Life
I used the same stamp set and similar colours and layout. Same ribbon placement and I used a corner punch - but only on two of the corners.
This works for yesterdays Ways to Use it - use paints. I painted the back of my flower stamp with Acrylic Paints - the red is "Wild Watermelon" and the green is "Jade Green". I stamped the flower a few times and then painted the stamped again and stamped it off. I used an off white linen paper. I love the texture of it. Punched out two of the corners. Matted image with Always Artichoke and black c/s. Attached my ribbon and sewed edges of panel. Made the little bow and button and sewed it to the card. Punched out the butterflies from red gemstone c/s and vellum, glued vellum over top of red, applied white liquid pearls to body. Made the background panel and sewed edges.
This will work for today's Free 4 all - collections as your inspiration.... I absolutely love beautiful pictures of flowers - I love to take pictures of flowers - I have a special picture "collection' album of my flower pictures.... where ever we go - if I see beautiful flowers my camera is out and I am taking pictures...
Plus this will work for this months fan club theme -anything that grows...
Enjoy your day Grace...
Hugs..... Pat - must go and get ready for work....
