ABC12X16 Merry Bloom

Photo Details

Poster: shirlb19

This is my card for "X" and I know it is a stretch. My X is for XL (extra large) referring to the way my gold heat embossing looks. I used the thick end of the versamark pen to draw in my flower stalk and heat embossed in gold. Then I took some stamps from the Bountiful Border (garage sale find last summer) and stamped randomly with different colors. I hope there are no challenge police looking in for my attempt at X, lol. tfl.

Wonderful find, Shirl! I really like your choice of colors and placement of the images. Hey, X is the hardest of nouns, so no police will be chasing you. Lol

Shirl, this is lovely! We all stretch the letters from time to time. I think one of the last cards I made was quite a stretch!

Very creative thinking Shirl! I think is a great card for X! Love it when people think outside of the "box." Great layers of color!

So creative Shirl and I don’t think the challenge police will disagree that this doesn’t meet the requirements for x. Love it. TFS. Happy day
