Messages for Mom using three challenges

Good day!

I did a card this morning that is not my usual clean line kinda a card

a bit out of my eliments so I really hope you don't mind....................

Cause honestly I am not sure if I like this card or not!!! HUM>?>

ouh but wait wait......................... Ouh la la we got to announce the winner of the BLOG CANDY

STEPHANIE (from Quebec)

Congratulations Steph, please email me your address so I can send you this fabulous Stamp Set!

Phew that was fun uh???

Stay tunned going to have ore blog candy for you starting Thursday!

okay so I started with three challenges today

the first is the butterfly challenge over at Late Night Stampers

the second is Kewl colour challenge

and last but not least is the a sketch from Card Patterns

 

now let's get started!

okay so be kind, cause like I said............ WAY out of my comfort zone but I have to try something new sometimes right??

so here we go

 
and then I created a flower that I have never done before

kinda cool sort of another tutorial for you!

this is the flower I am going to show you how to make

pretty uh?

so we will start with our scallop circle punch

I used Bridesmaid card stock as well as Chocolate chip patterned paper

so you will be punching a total of ten of these

I did 4 in bridesmaid and 6 in the patterned paper

now we are going to crimple them

CRAZY lol

now we are going to uncrimple  (is that a word HE HE ) them   

now time to stack all of them

okay so I am going to poke a hole in the center to be able to put a brad in

I did my best to keep that hole in the center

insert brad

 
Almost done with my flower

I am just going to refold the flower from the center out

like this

 
so you do that each layer till you get to the bottom

and your flower will look like this!

 

okay now let's move on

oh I want to say that the look of my card is designed around this flower

I did some butterflies on my

Let's say all together now

BIG SHOT lol

now to get some card stock cut 

 

I thought I was going to use the bridesmaid card stock but I changed my mind

I also did a few test of the butterflies

I added Old Olive and Chocolate Chip satin ribbon

pretty

I took out my Tearing ruler

whow I haven't used that for a while

and maybe this is the reason that I am not super happy with my card???

I think I am way too used to the clean straight lines you know??

 
Stamp sets that I used were

Message for Mom

and

Sweetheart

I watercoloured the flowers with my stamp pads and some shimmer paint

all right then I ruffed up some edges to go with my teared look then put the card together

yhuk

I am not happy at this point

oh well no turning back now I will show you my card

well this is my card

up close

well the watercolour is nice he he :)

nothing else mind you lol

I wish you all super Tuesday

Embossed hug to you

First, I have to say THANK YOU for the blog candy! I am really thankful for all the amazing ideas you post here on such a regular basis. You are very disciplined my friend! Even without this sweet treat, I'd keep coming by!
I love the flower on today's card! I had never seen this before. This style is a lot similar to mine. I tear and ink a lot on my scrapbook pages, so I will definitely tell you: GORGEOUS card. I also like the colour combo.
Thanks again Carole'Anne! I can't wait to receive my stamps!!!

Hi Carole'Anne,
I think you should step out of your comfort zone more often. This card is great!! Love that you made your own flower. I have been into making a lot of mine for a while now and they are fun to do. I love this one with the papers you used.
Have to ask you a question - do you do your own nails or do you get them done somewhere?? They are always beautiful and today quite different as well :o)
Love Candy

[Megan NZ]

Dont you just love these flowers I have become a bit addiction to them. I have tutorial on my blog which is slightly different. Love the two tone colours of yours. I am thinking another card is in the making.

[Chris in CO]

Making the flower--crumpling it, etc. is a good "stress-away"! And I bet it's a lot easier to put together if one doesn't have a bandaid on one's thumb. ha ha. Your flower is much prettier than mine. It's neat, too, how you used the stamp from Message for Mom. Pretty card.

[Tammy Jackson]

I think your card is awesome. It is different from all others. It is very unique and I love it. The flower is really
pretty and I will be trying that myself.
I also love your nails. They are way cool!
Big HUG to you and Max.

[jennifer reynard]

Amazing, absolutely amazing!

[Wanda/CT]

This is a great card! Love the flower, cant wait to try it.

[Janet Swofford]

Wow,girlfriend! Can I come live with you for a little while so some of your creativity might rub off on me???(Maybe I will wait until July when it is 100 degrees with 95% humidity here in NC:-)
This card is so cool! I love,love,love that flower and I can't wait to try it. I'm so excited that I have this punch and I can make this one!I love the way you used the color combo and the sketch to step outside your comfort zone. And you still came up with a gorgeous card! Your watercoloring is always so beautiful and I love the shimmering touch. Thanks for sharing!
Inky hugs,
Janet
