I really enjoy making projects for challenges. It is a great motivator to complete cards, layouts, etc. Have you seen the wonderful challenges that Kristal hosts over at www.gettingcricky.com? One of her weekly challenges is the Simply Sunday challenge and this week's theme is to use a face on your project. I decided to post this card featuring a happy little smiling flower. It makes me want to smile just looking at his cute face.
This card is based on a sketch by the very talented Aussie Caz. The flower is a cutter file from Accents by Eddita and I added Stickles to the eyes. The papers are all from my stash, not sure of the brand. The ribbon is from Stampin Up! (Blushing Bride) and the sentiment was done with my pen tool using a file from Sam & Hailey Designs.
I love the happy smile on the flower's face, but after seeing many of the projects done for this challenge, I think I really need to get some Peachy Keen face stamps. What great expressions they have! Any recommendations on which set to start with?
Thanks for stopping by!
