Rolled Flowers

I had high hopes for stamping a lot of cards yesterday...I'm just happy that I finished ONE! My son was home sick from school so I cancelled my subbing job because he had to stay home alone sick already the day before. Then, my daughter's school called to come pick her up - she was ill as well! I did get to snuggle on the couch though and watch Aliens in the Attic with him, and an episode of The Hills with her.

While I sat, I fiddled with some paper to make the Rolled Flowers featured in this week's SCS newsletter. If you missed the tutorial, you can find it here. The first go around, I threw out my efforts. I used a thinner paper, DP on one side only. But when I tried again with cardstock, I was very happy with the end results.

Once I had the flower completed, I needed something to go with it! The rest of the card came together pretty quickly as I added a few layers here and there, between loads of laundry. That's the nice thing about combining a laundry room and stamp room, you can multi-task!

Fabulous Frames made a great focal point and I am sad to see More Abundance retiring so I wanted to feature it one more time here! This set is great for both scrapbooking and cardmaking...I love it!

I have seen a lot of prisma flowers at Michaels covered with the chunky glitter - here it helps hide any "imperfections" in my flower!

Card Materials:

Stamps: More Abundance, Fabulous Frames

Accessories: text paper, CB embossing folders, Sizzix vine die, crystal lacquer and chunky glitter

Don't forget that The Angel Company has brought back it's FREE gift with purchase stamps during the May/June Jubilation. And on a side note, the baby birds have hatched in the nest underneath my clematis plant...it's so cute to see them with their beaks open wide!
