Ways to Use It Challenge hosted by Sabrina - Button It Up
Teapotters Challenge for Dorothy hosted by Anita. Dorothy and her husband are dealing with health issues and could use some encouragement.
The card challenge was to use three things. I had brain fuzz last week and could not figure this out, so I set it aside for a bit, and could not get back to it. I have been extra busy caring my husband who has been in increased pain, so I am a week behind. However, I could not pass up sending a card to a fellow Arizona dweller. Today I finished my card, but I misread the limited supplies part. Call the Challenge Police! On my card: three stamps to make the floral display, three colors (yellow, blue, green), three word sentiment, three ways to embellish (edge punch, stitched die, buttons). I put a strip of white under the punched edge, and allowed a little of the inside blue to show through underneath. The buttons were planned for the top corners, but then I smudged the bottom left corner, so I buttoned it up over the spot and put the buttons both on the left side.
Although I misunderstood the instructions, I had fun making my card and Anita said that was the important part. It will soon be on its way to Dorothy. TFL

What a gorgeous card this is Diane. I love how you used the rose and leaf stamps from this set - it is just right. This shade of blue is so pretty and highlights your wonderful punched edge too. I know Dorothy and her husband love this card! ~Karen.

This is gorgeous! Who is counting any way? I certainly won't see the challenge police!!! The soft colors and stencil look are so special. I am sorry to hear your husband is experiencing more pain. I can certainly relate to not having extra time. Even though my husband is doing a bit better, I find myself spending more time on the couch next to his recliner, rather than in the craft room. Thank you so much for taking the time to make the card and for the kind thoughts.
