Woo Hoo - Happy Weekend!
It's amazing how excited I get (I am retired, after all) when a weekend
rolls around - just habit I guess!
Here's another card for the Guest Designer Challenge at Stamp TV. There's still time for YOU to enter!
The mask was a strip of masking paper, laid on the diagonal of the card. Stamping was done, both above and below the masked strip. After removing the strip, 2 lines were drawn with my Zig pen, and colored between the lines with the color of the flower centers.
It was a perfectly flat, one-layered beauty, until.....(to be continued).
A couple of years ago, Melanie Muenchinger created 'Stately Flowers 2' for Gina K. Designs.
This beautiful set features flowers of Alabama, Nebraska, Kentucky, and Missouri.
I am a Missourian, and a HUGE fan of Melanie's flower and basket sets. I was thrilled
beyond words, when Melanie asked me to guest design this set for her!
This is still one of my favorite 'go-to' sets when I need a pretty card.
Thanks again to Melanie!
The sentiment is from another fun set that I love - 'Stamp it Big! 2' by my friend Carolyn King.
Cammie (Carolyn) is a talented designer for Gina, and I love her happy creations!
Now....continuing on! If you look really close, you will see that my one-layer creation is a one layer card with three popped up 'buds'. Why? Ha ha...my green markers had minds of their own, and before I knew what was happening, they had colored three flower buds green! Imagine....
In case you still haven't spotted the popped up buds, here's a close up with some hints!

Tee hee... When I was a brand new stamper, I went to a class taught by a lady named Shirley, who is now one of my dearest friends. At my first class, she said 'there are no mistakes in stamping - only creative opportunities'. So, Shirley - how do you like this creative opportunity???
We have a memorial to attend tomorrow for a very special and dear aunt of mine.
Heaven certainly gained a wonderful new angel, but we will miss her so much.
Aunt Barb, this card is how I feel today...
Have a nice weekend, everyone - I'll be back on Tuesday with a really great
Die-Versions card!
Happy stamping,
Patti J.
