Inspired by Tuesday Trigger!

*Yawn* It's been 4 days now since I've been back from Scrapfest in Minnesota and I still feel like I'm on central time.  I had to get out of this funk and was inspired by this week's Tuesday Trigger following this beautiful pic...

I went pretty literal and decided to use some of my goodies I purchased at Archiver's...

 

I bought these awesome paper flowers by Hero Arts and inked the edges up with various inks and added some pearls and buttons with some die cut leaves.  I used an embossing folder to create the thin lines like the comb.  I kept going back and forth...buttons or no buttons, but I liked the whimsy in it.  I don't think I've ever made a card without some kind of whimsy!

Well I'm hoping this is what I needed to get out of going to bed so early.  We'll see what tomorrow night brings!

My favorite thing

There are quite a lot of things I love and adore...rainbows (an obvious one), peacocks for their self-confidence (which I lack sometimes) and SUNFLOWERS!  I've loved them from when I was little, something about them makes me smile and think of everything happy.  When Lawn Fawn came out with Our Friendship Grows set with matching dies I squealed with joy!!!

Are they not the most gorgeous sunflowers..the stamps, not my coloring (o; ?!  I'm having a blast playing with all my goodies.  The hubby had the grand idea to embed the die cut sunflowers in the stitched journaling card.  I took it a step further and used LFs Cole's ABCs die to create the sentiment.  Everything in the card is my most favorite things from Lawn Fawn: sunflowers, twine, stitched journaling card die, pattern paper and sequins!  Which is perfect for the next Lawnscaping Challenge

I followed this week's Freshly Made Sketches

Another one of my favorite things...to follow a sketch...definitely makes the creative process go a little quicker! Mahalo for stopping by, I so appreciate it!!!
