Lovely Flower Pot

Hello and Welcome!

Thanks for joining me today! I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend.  I am back today to share a card that was made during the quiet of a rare afternoon nap by my 4 year old.  It is a somewhat simple card, but I was thrilled to be able to use my new flower pot stamp (found this one and a few others for a bargain at a recent yard sale...boy do I love a good yard sale!).  I thought card making was relaxing, but enjoying the quiet and coloring in those beautiful flowers was a much needed stress reliever.

I'm also entering this into this week's challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.  I know it is a very loose interpretation of the sketch, but I thought the circular design of the background paper lent itself to the three circular designs at the bottom of the sketch.  I know, I know...loose interpretation like I said.

I also found a new challenge while looking around on some of my favorite sites.  I found the CAS-ual Fridays challenge and turns out the color scheme that I randomly choose for this card (pinks and greys) fits this week's challenge.  So I think I'll go ahead and join that challenge for the first time! 

Here is the sketch and the color scheme...

 

And here is my card...

I hope to use my markers for more stamp coloring projects in the future.  I think it really adds a nice touch to the stamps.

Supplies Used: Jack and Jill by Lori Whitlock paper, Firefly alcohol markers, twine and Sizzix oval framelits
