Celebrate

Hello Friends ... Happy Thursday!
Another weekend is right around the corner and the end
of another month is right behind it!!  lol


 Today I'm playing a fun challenge called the TIME OUT Challenges and check out this fabulous mood board they are offering as inspiration.   
This challenge goes on until Sept. 26th.


The sponsor for this challenge is Poppystamps, so I'll be sharing my creation in their challenge also which has the theme of Anything Goes and runs through the end of the month.

I have used two Poppystamp dies for this creation... Monterey Vine #1432 and Meadow Flower #2045.  
I created two watercolor panels using TH oxide distress inks.  One I used for my background panel and the other I used to cut out my Meadow Flower petals.   Scraps of green designer paper was used for my leaves & stems.  The Monterey Vine was cut into pieces and glued to the base of the flower stems at the top of my 'pumpkin vase'.


 The 'pumpkin vase' was created by stamping an old Stampin' Up pumpkin onto orange card stock and fussy cutting it (minus the top stem).  Emerald green Stickles was used for the flower centeres.

After attaching my pumpkin floral design onto a rectangle panel die cut using the Tutti Designs Dotted Nesting Rectangles die set, I popped up that panel with dimensional tape.

I'm quite happy with the outcome ... hope you like it too!
