Joan's Gardens Challenge #15

I look forward to Thursdays because that means I get to play another challenge at Joan's Gardens.  She & Selma always come up with the most wonderful challenges for us and today is no exception!  Here's what's going on this week.

We are planning a blog hop May 15th and are looking for 6 Guest Designers to participate.

We are asking everyone who would like to be considered as a guest designer for the blog hop, to create a card or project that includes one or more flowers that you have created with either punches or dies.  You will submit your entry in this week's challenge.  You can create any type of  flower/s you wish.  There are no other requirements other than you will want to make your entry the prettiest you can make it.

How about that!  As many of you have noticed, I've been like a crazy woman making homemade flowers on so many of my projects lately ... so this was awesome fun!!!  Here's what I've created ...

 Here is a list of items used to create my card.  Those items in PINK were purchased at Joan's Gardens.

Ink - Versa Magic 'cloud white' chalk ink
