Last night my family celebrated Mother's Day at my daughter's home. We had barbeque salmon along with all the goodies that you have at a BBQ. My son made the dessert, Dirt (and worms for the kids) which everyone just loves.
This card is also for the TUIC challenge hosted by Kelly. The challenge is to use flowers and purple.
Stamps: Fabulous Florets (c – 123027, $21.95, w – 123025, $28.95 Occasions Mini p 22), Teeny Tiny Wishes (w – 115370, IB&C p. 157)
Paper: Natural White, Whisper White, Concord Grape, Pear Pizzazz, In Colours DSP (Hostess Level 1)
Ink: Concord Grape, Crumb Cake, Peach Parfait
Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds, 2-way glue, Blossoms Petal Punch, Doily Triple Layer Punch (NEW – Occasions Mini), Pear Pizzazz ribbon
I added a bit of dazzle with Dazzling Diamonds in the center of each flower. The flowers were cut out with the great Paper Snips (these are great for getting into tight corners) and then popped up with dimensionals.
I hope the sun is shinning where you are. It's trying very hard to shine here today....Believe or not about 30 miles from here they had snow....I guess we have a new season "Sprinter".
Enjoy your day and until next time...
Karen, it's a LOVELy card! So very pretty....but now...the main question: What is a dessert called Dirt!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great Mother's Day with family.

Dirt with worms? And I thought Aussies ate strange sometimes!
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely and I am glad Karen that you had a good time at your barbeque.
This is a beautiful card Karen. I love how you have teamed the purple with Olive and Yellow it looks fabulous, and a combo I wouldn't have even thought of. I am so pleased you had a wonderful Mother's Day with your family. BBQ was on the menu at our house too for mothers day which we celebrated with both Rod and My parents.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful card Karen! Love your new profile picture.
ReplyDeleteKaren what a pretty card. I'm learning to love the concord crush [Like the deep shade} and I'm not a purple person.
ReplyDeleteReally like how you cut out the flowers and gave them some bling, as well as the doilies peeking out on the bottom. Beautiful.
We barbqued too and John made the RIBS! Yeah baby.. along way too much of everything else. The sun was shinning ALL weekend. Maybe spring has arrived !!
PS: Thanks for the sweet comments on my blog cards too. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Karen! I absolutely LOVE how you used the doily punch. Of course, the perfect touches on this card are the snipped out flowers! Oh my gosh...I have not had dirt cake in years! I know what I am making this week!
