Brown stamped flowers

This card is for today's sketch for 365 cards day 13, which means I'm now up to date with 365 challenges.

When I looked this evening to see what this week's challenge 94 was on Order of the opus gluei.I found that it was 'reach out and get a handful' - This week we want you to sit down at your workdesk, reach out to those bits and bobs that are still sitting there from your last project (or 2 or 3) and make something.

So I did just that! The My Mind's Eye papers I used were left over yesterday from making the card you can see here. The main background paper is double sided so I used the other side for the triangle. I used my favourite trees stamp from Inkadinkado for Crazy 4 challenges 78: a tree, and then stamped Hero Arts printed flowers on to the other spotty paper, cutting them out with a little margin around them - this is for the 'home baked' challenge on Daring cardmakers - to make your own embellishments - and also for Sugar creek hollow challenge: handmade flowers.

As the card was made from scraps I'm also entering it for Tuesday throwdon 39.

The theme on Sunday stamper 145 today is 'brown eyed girl' - to use brown, so I'm linking for that.

It's also for:

Sarah Hurley 33: flowers
Southern girls 14: use flowers
Gingerloft 13: use those flowers
Whoopsi Daisy: pile on the flowers
Little Claire 2: flowers
Simply create 39: monochromatic
Papertake weekly: anything goes + optional: something old: the trees stamp (but still a favourite)
Aly's: anything goes
Craft your passion 48: anything goes
Simon says: anything goes

  8. Aw, Hazel, this is great - brown is a tough color to work with (in my opinion) but you did so with lots of visual interest and impact.

    Thanks for participating with us at Opus Gluei!
