Not Older, Just Better


 Hello friends ... hope you're having a fabulous day!

Today I decided to put together a couple fun challenges to create my card share.  
They are as follows:

One of the two sketches offered over on the 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Challenge blog ... I chose #323 and it ends 3/31.

 

 and

 The Card Concept Challenge #225 (Spring Flowers) ... ends 4/6.

 

 I have so many pretty packs of 6x6 designer paper and several just have a page or two left in them so I've been working on trying to use those as much as possible lately (lol need to make room for newer ones ya know).  I actually have a drawer designated just for spots, dots, stripes, gingham .. that sort of thing ... so that's the drawer I dove into today.


My focus flowers come from the Altenew 'Build a Garden' - Dear Dahlias and I've colored it with Tombow markers (#401, #673, #946, #126 and #055).  After die cutting my flowers with the coordinating die for this Dahlia set, I popped it up onto an oval that was die cut using the Tutti Designs 'Scallop Stitched Oval Die' set (next to the largest die in the set).

Nuvo Crystal Drops were used for the accent and my sentiment comes from the Creative Expressions 'Birthday' wordies set.   

Other fun challenges to share in:

Passion for Markers #829 - Make it Bloom (3/24) missed deadline
Try It On Tuesday - Spring (3/30)

 As always, thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to stop by!

  1. Goodness, beautiful card! I dearly love pretty cards. When I was a kid, you would find me in the greeting card section at the store, I think i looked at every one. I see you are from Ohio! "The Wright Brothers" by David McCullough is one of my favorite books.
