Tic Tac Toe-Choose any row from above
Butterfly Challenge- Denim Blue, Dark Salmon, Dimension, Die Cut
Stamplorations Challenge-Theme and Sketch-Things with wings
Simon Says-Animal Magic
Crafty Creations-Anything Goes
I chose Flip Flops, Sunset, Free-butterflies is my choice for that spot for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge but I incorporated the colours and added dimension for the butterfly challenge. Since there is actually no sketch and the theme is things with wings for Stamplorations, butterflies fit perfectly. I also consider butterflies magical which seems to fit the Simon Says theme.
I took glossy white card and sponged on colours to make a sunset. I stamped the images in a navy blue. I had a flip flop sticker which I adhered to a salmon glitter card piece and cut it out. I just bought a new die cut leaf pattern which I used on 3 different card stock pieces in blue and glued it to the corner. I added the gold edging, a salmon coloured butterfly and a little bling. I think this looks a little magical.
Since my mom died plus the accident and the bathroom disaster, I have been having a hard time picking my butt off the sofa but I am getting my groove back. I know Mother's day is close so that will be hard. Funny what we miss, I miss her shoulder to cry on.
And we don't realize how bad we'll miss it.
ReplyDeleteThat card is just brilliant.
No we don’t know. Glad you like the card
DeleteNice to see you making cards again!
ReplyDeleteI remember the empty feeling I had on the first Mother's Day after my mom died just before Christmas of 2009. I set up at a local flea market every Sunday, and on Mother's Day I used to leave the flea market, head for my mom's, and then take her to a restaurant for dinner. All these years later, it still feels weird to just head right home after the flea market closes on Mother's Day.
Thanks. Yes, I see my mom every time I go upstairs and I feel weird not going to the home to be with her.
DeleteWow Birgit that’s a stunner I love you background is fabulous...so hot and bright ...your friend is in for a treat when she opens her envelope....xxxx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I’m glad you like the card
DeleteMy mother maintains that Mother's Day is so hard for her after the passing of her mother. Even though it was 40 years ago, it was sudden. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYes, I understand your mom.
DeleteHi Birgit - lovely card and I'm sure your friend will be so chuffed ... fun flip flops ... and am so glad you're feeling easier ... it's just not easy when one's parents have gone ... take care - cheers Hilary

I didn’t think it would be hitting me like this but it is. Thank you for your kind words
DeleteYour sunset sky is so beautiful, Birgit. I love how you stamped silhoutte images around the sky and the gold edges give the card gorgeous retro look. So glad you're back to craft , you are a very talented cardmaker. I'm sorry for your loss. Sending my prayer to you. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
