Hello my friends.
It is Thursday and my vacation starts today!!! So looking forward to not having to race from the house so early and a couple of weeks of relaxation. I hope !!
Today we have a sketch that I turned on it's side . I know, always the rebel , but I hope you like my take on the prototype. Here it is.....
Now away we go.....there are two wonderful Dies that I just love so they have found a place on this card.
Can you guess which Thinlits and Framelits I mean....Yes, we have the Botanical Builders and the Swirly Scribbles. The background of the fabulous Peekaboo Peach, was run though the Big Shot in the Large Polka Dot embossing folder. This was adhered to the card base of Very Vanilla. Here is the full shot.
Now as I turned this sketch on it's side I was able to use the wonderful "wave" from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits. Then it was just time building the flowers and placing them on the card.
The sentiment is from the new Cottage Greetings Stamp Set. I really love what this set has to offer.
And as I can't seem to waste anything, I used the outer part of one of the flowers inside and the bits that came off the swirl as well. Kinda like how this turned out. What do you think?
Kind funky looking but adds an element to the inside . I will add the recipe near the end of the post as well as the products I put to use today. Now off you go, and have fun.

Guess we are both rebels Shelagh, I turned my design too. Love the color combination. Your die cut flowers add the perfect accent to your design.

Love the idea of using left over pieces to enhance the inside. It's not really funky but sweet
