Tickled Pink Stamp Challenges #26 - Flowers

Hey {PINK} Fans!! How has your week been so far?! Only one more day until the weekend! Yippee. The sun has been shining here ALL week - but I bet my bottom dollar that come the weekend he will have disappeared. Complaining - I am not. I despise the heat, it makes me feel all stuffy and tired!! Roll on Autumn is what I say!! ;)

Speaking of Autumn I have used quite muted, 'rustic' colours on my card today, I think.. for this weeks challenge over at Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge Blog..

..::FLOWERS::..

Eaaasy peasy!! Right?! You know I'm in love with Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, so this card came together so easily. I have used some oooold papers from MME - Oh La La for Him and paired them up with some More Mustard cardstock from SU! I've created a little tag using some of the patterned paper and adhered the papers at jaunty angles - something which was pretty hard for me, but I love the results.

Does this picture look blurry to you?! Gahhh!! BLOGGER!! :@

I have coloured Lil' Pinkette Tom Boy - Pippa with PMs and Copics. This cutie (.. I know, she wouldn't appriciate me calling her that!! LOL).. is available HERE.. from the TPS Store. Have you noticed.. .. are you noticing..?! I HAVEN'T fussy cut her out!! HELLO?! I think I have finally broke the cycle.. for now anyway! LOL.

I have distressed all of my edges with Frayed Burlap DI and added some details around the image part with a Stempelglede stamp, again in Frayed Burlap. I have gone around all edges with a brown fineliner and added some faux stitching. Both of these details help tie everything together - me thinks.

As for the embellishments, I have used a mix of Mocha Cherry Blossoms and 10mm (green) and 15mm (yellow) roses in coordinating colours from WOC as well as an olive green clay doodad and a flower charm. Plenty flowers for ya?! ;) My sentiment has been created on a Tiny Tag from PTI and tied to the larger tag with some natural twine. I've added a few liquid pearls here and there - simply because I can't get enough of them lately!! Oh, and I added a little bit of pom pom trim.. to.. represent the cheerleaders going wild when she scores a home run.. right?! ;)
