Merry Monday 109


Hi friends, I have wanted to play in the Merry Monday Challenge for weeks now and I have had too much going on. As it is, I went down to my craft room to make a get well card and this is what happened! ( I made the get well card after!) I love the Merry Monday challenge because you can use any products. 

I pull out my Basic Grey Aspen Frost paper pad because I knew it had flowers on one of the papers. I figured I'd just add a Prima poinsettia and call it a day but then I looked thru my dies looking for my SB poinsettia die and found this SB Bitty Blossoms flower die. I have never been able to get a rolled flower to work out for me but I hadn't tried this one. I am thrilled with the result and I highly recommend it. I cut it from a distress solid aqua from the paper pack and inked it with VersaMagic chalk ink.  I hot glued it together and added 2 buttons in the center. I also die cut the leaves from the same set. I meant to add a contrasting circle die cut under the flower but forget in my excitement of getting the rolled flower to work. 
The rest was done just following the sketch. I used a Hero Arts sentiment from Holiday Sayings stamped with Stays On Black ink, some May Arts twine, SU buttons. Don't you just the the Birch patterned paper? I do. 
Thanks for visting today. Links below.
