I have a sick child and sick dog at home this week, so I feel I have to super multi-task. I made this card for three different challenges - the Mojo Monday Sketch challenge, Splitcoast color challenge and Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge. The only challenge that came easily was the Flourishes challenge to use ribbon on your card - the other two were tricky. The colors to use were Kraft, Summer Sun and Riding Hood Red and this was the sketch:
I admit that I tweaked the sketch a little bit, but here's my triple challenge card:
I used the Flourishes set Signs of Spring and I hope that it's not too obvious in the photo, but I elongated the stem of the daffodil because it looked awkward ending higher up on the card.
The kraft c/stock behind the flower was embossed with the Cuttlebug folder Birds & Swirls using my Big Shot. A really good resource for the embossing folders is All That Scraps - I get all of mine there and they have Shimmerz too!
Talking of Shimmerz, new colors are coming and a great new product. Stay tuned.....
Enjoy your day!

Alison, this is beautiful! Very clever, lengthening the stem on the daffodil. Thanks for the links....I must be the only one who doesn't have Shimmerz, so I'd better get with it, huh. Very pretty card!
