I am going to paste the link to the IC509 cake before I loose it...linking to anything is not my strong suit....https://www.pinterest.com/pin/119838040061697772/
Ahhhh, now to the description. Dolly the insomniac dog was wide awake at 2am, so I had loads of time to work on a card. I am still working on selling my sister's stuff,and every once in awhile, a stamp catches my eye. I don't buy shadow stamps because I am not sure what to do with them. This set was a flower, a narrow rectangle and an oval. I stamped the flower twice in pink and the rectangle and ovel in green where the stem and leaves had been....it looked aweful. I had peeked at the IC board with all the gorgeous cakes, and some of the more whimsical flower cakes caught my eye, so I used my black gel pen to doodle over the shadow stamped stem and flowers. The bg print page was from something else I was working on, but I liked the colors and the flower pattern where I had punched out the flowers for the other project. For the Mix 136 I finger painted some white before adding my fussy cut flowers with pop dots. For the F4A289, to make a birthday card that we would like to get, I already had the bright colors and weird bg...all that was missing was the white dots. The colors are as close as I can get to this week's CC546 of Rich Razzelberry, Cucumber Crush, and Tangelo Twist. This is a Spring card for the WT547 to make a card featuring our fav. season. Looking at all those cakes on the IC website has sure made me hungry... TFL, Francie

WOW Francie a "sixer"..6 challenges in one card...that's impressive!! We had the same idea of stamping on text..your flowers and colors mimic your inspiration piece perfectly (I liked that one, too) and I have to say you are so creative at morphing your designs..if something isn't to your liking you just draw or doodle something that is GREAT! Fun card! Maybe you can take a nap later if Dolly leaves you alone ;)

Well wow, that doodling is incredible, Francie! I just love the little checked centre to one of the flowers, I used to have some little brads like that! I also love the colour gradient down the card, and the way the white circles drift off the coloured panel onto the black layer. I'm sorry for you that Dolly wakes you up, but glad that we benefit from it.

Dang, girl, you hit the challenge jackpot with this one! I would love to be a fly on the wall and watch your creative process in action - you are the queen at taking random pieces and putting them together into something that not only works, but blows us all away! Love it, sweet friend! Hope you are beginning to have some time just for you!
