I mentioned yesterday that my friend Mona from Cupcake's Creations is a part of a new challenge called 'Just Us Girls'...she is this week's host...and here is my offering!
The challenge this week was to add a 3-D flower to a project.
I have been wanting to play around with crepe paper flowers for the past couple of weeks and this was a great opportunity to do so. I had a 3-tiered flower ready, but not in the colors I needed to complete this baby card, so will have to share that with you another time.
I love the retro vibe that crepe paper adorned with glitter provides. I used patterned papers from Prima's Nursery Rhyme Collection and did a little distressing. To make the glittering really simple, I used Stickles in silver, on both the flower and the sentiment frame. Of course, the frame was made using Spellbinders Labels die cuts and a sentiment from Phrase Cafe. The pastel pearls finish it off.
Speaking of challenges, did you get the new color combo for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge? If not, get on over and see what's next...and while you are there, I hope you will congratulate our Spotlight entry and Fab 4 winners. All of our participants did a fabulous job last week...and now, it's YOUR turn!
