I hit a few challenges today that motivated me to make something for...
well... me. ;)
No one else would appreciate it as much.
See the Gerbera Daisy header on my blog?
That's a picture of the flowers my husband gave me one year. ;)
Here's what's left of that gorgeous orange-faded to coral...
all dolled up.
I pressed that flower in a phone book lined with paper towels and laminated it after it was dry.
It's been sitting amongst my crafties for almost 2 years!
Now it's been paired with piercing, a combo of colors, and embossing.
The challenges that motivated me to DO SOMETHING with this daisy:
~Our Daily Bread Designs ODBDSLC69 Piercing
~Simply Scrapping Crafts July Card Challenge - Embossing
Card Info:
ODBD Scripture Collection 6, Spellbinders Label Eleven, CB embossing folder, Versamark ink, copper embossing powder, MS border punch,S.E.I. Dill Blossom DP,Making Memories Just Chillin' DP,copic marker to line the edges
It's beautiful and it goes so well with the choice of backing paper.
