First Official Dutch Dare Challenge

I was super excited when Karin asked me to join the Dutch Dare DT! So today is my first creation as part of the team!! This week is a great color inspiration challenge and here is my take on it:



I used CTMH's Emporium paper which I love and coordinating CS. The fabulous flower is from High Hopes and I popped up the center and the leaves for some fun dimension. I added some glitter to the leaves with Shimmerz and then used my pink and yellow Spica glitter pens for some shimmer on the flower as well. Here's a close up.



Luckily for me, this card will work for a few other challenges this week as well...it wasn't planned that way though, honest! So here it goes:

Dutch Dare #53-Color Inspiration

Truly Scrumptious #9-Sketch & altered flower

High Hopes #35- Lotsa Circles

Roses on Paper- you need to participate in another blog's challenge AND be sure to incorporate FLOWERS as part of the ROP challenge.


Today is my Mom's birthday, so the kiddos and I are headed over for a visit. The wee tiny screw fell out of one of the arms on Kirsten's glasses, so I need to get that fixed as well. We are also going to visit my Uncle who just got out of the hospital and the kids are excited to see him. It'll be a busy couple of days, but fun for sure!

Thanks for poppin' in...300 posts later yay!!

Hugs,

Is this a stamp from Magnolia, alota, Greeting Farm or Rachelle miller? Cause you need to incorporate one of these to be entered for the prize! If it isn't.. don't panic, you still have a week and a half to do so ;)
