I figured I would post it anyway.
This card actually got me my mojo back. It has been a few weeks since I was able to sit down and be inspired to make anything.
Here is the inspiration sketch:
Instead of making a square card, I chose to make the design a square. However, the colors were NOT the inspiration for this card. I really, really wanted to use my new Paper Smooches "Roses" Wise Dies. I LOVE these flowers!!
So the first thing I did was die cut a rose and two leaves out some white paper. I then used an ink dauber with Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar distress ink to color the rose in and Hero Art's Shadow inks for the leaves. I am not going to go into detail about the rest of the card because it is pretty simple. I will say that my last design decision was to cover the rose in Stickles to give the flower a little bit of punch.
Have a fabulous Monday. Stay warm!

Nora, I LOVE the pops of color!
I am in a similar boat like you too, Nora! There are so many challenges that I am trying to participate and then I forget the deadline. This kind of situation has disappointed me many time. So now, I write all the challenges and deadlines in a notebook. Glad to hear this card motivated you to some more. And, by the way, beautiful sparkly card! Those colors look so good together. And the sequins! So pretty. I need to get me some of those. :) I have become a follower of your blog. I hope you'll stop by to visit mine too. Enjoy your week!
