My Friend, the Card

Have you ever started a card with a plan, and then set it aside,

only to start other cards which bloom and grow and get the limelight in blogland?

 Meanwhile, that card you started with gets fiddled with a little...and then set aside again.

This is the first card I started on 3 posts ago...and it has finally come to completion.

Good grief, it almost feels like a friend. ;)

Here is my friend, the card.

I have been adding and taking away from this card for a few days.

I started with the smallest elements at the top.

 I stamped a flower on a circle and cut it up like pie.

Those colors I focused on were passed to this card.

I stamped botanical elements onto patterned paper for the

Fanatical About Botanical Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

 

 

 

 

 

Those pieces were set aside while I went in another direction.

Then, I took one of the pieces of striped paper, stamped with a botanical look, and die cut it with my ODBD Chickadee die.

It represents my "High flying" element for ODBDSLC68 Phrase Inspiration Challenge.

 I am so grateful for Card Patterns Sketch # 124...it married my elements together.

Just Add Ink's Inspiration Challenge

kept my colors oceany.  The shutters had lines which I thought my patterned paper picked up.

I shared all that to say, 

sometimes it takes a lot of work to make a friend. ;)

Thanks for hanging out here. ;)
