Week 13 challenge was found on page 65, "Grungepaper Flowers". While waiting for some stuff to dry (for our door sign) Charlene and I chatted and I created these "lilies" and Charlene cut out some stuff, but you will have to watch her blog for an update on what she did.

There are 3lilies in the old thread spool. Here's one by itself to give you a clearer view. .JPG)

I don't have a clue what I am going to do with my lilies, but until the idea presents itself, I will enjoy their beauty in the spool!
After I finished, I had these leftover.

I don't know about you, but I really hate throwing leftovers away. So I asked myself: "Self, what can you do with these?" I didn't answer (bet some of you thought I might answer!lol) but played a bit and came up with this ATC. I found some extra leftover petals and made the leaves.

Besides the grungepaper flowers on the ATC, there is DCWV (black) paper, glossy paper with alcohol inks, 7 Gypsy ATC transparency, Tim Holtz' Adage ticket and a button from my stash (covered with alcohol ink).
If you had a day off, I hope you thoroughly enjoyed it. If you had to work, I hope your week got off to a fabulous start!

Oh, those lilies are absolutely gorgeous, Linda! I love the color and the sparkling, sweet centerpieces. I actually think they look awesome right there in the spool!
ReplyDeleteYour card is wonderful, too, and the blue AI makes a great backdrop for the dramatic flower. The butterfly silhouette is WAY cool, and the whole piece has a really elegant feel to it.
Holy cow-- 21 days?? You're almost there!
I like them in the spool too, would make a nice thank you or just because gift for someone or to keep for yourself
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely flower pot! Love this!
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool, I may have to scraplift the flower idea. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove it Linda! Amazing how those little pieces fit on an ATC, isn't it? lol!
ReplyDeleteLovely! The muted reds and greens on the flower are wonderful! :) I arrived here from the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge blog, where you had posted to say you'd entered last weeks challenge, but I can find no mention of it here. Remember, if you enter future challenges, you must link back to the challenge blog to be entered into the prize draw.
