Sweet Felt Flower

This week's color combo over at Jeanette Lyntons blog was a hard one for me. I really struggled with it and this is my second attempt, the 1st one ended up in the trash. This second one is much better, and the felt flower makes the card.

Thank U

A color challenge-yeah! My favorite are always color combo challenges, and this is my card for the Heart 2 Heart blog challenge. I recently saw this card and watched the video over at Tresa Black's blog. I learned to make this awesome flower and faux stitching on the video-when you have time you should watch it.

A special Butterfly Stamp

I created this card using the same socks from yesterday's post as the inspiration. I changed the white to colonial white and added some desert sand cardstock as well for the base. That butterfly stamp is from an absolutely amazing stamp set the that can't be purchased-it was given to us a convention after one of the events! Close to My Heart is so generous to use, and I can't thank them enough.

Sock inspired--

One of my favorite things about convention is extravaganza-this is where fellow consultants teach us about new products and art ideas. By far my favorite was Katy's booth and her ideas about color! You can see all of her sock ideas here. This card is actually a matchbook card from the Close to My Heart book Wishes-If you don't have this book, you should get yourself a copy! It is wonderful! Check back Tuesday and Wednesday for more sock inspired projects!
