Waffle Flower Challenge 27th April - 10th May 2015

Very, very quiet day today. Feel absolutely awful which makes me feel worse because I can't enjoy Mothers Day. The kids have been looking after me but its been a very boring day for them. Isn't that the typical 'Mother' thing to do - not worry about me being sick but the fact that the kids aren't being looked after enough??!


As usual I've left it to the last minute to enter the Waffle Flower Challenge. Have been trying to work out how to incorporate my only Waffle Flower stamps into the mix. I didn't have the exact colours but did my best:

 

It took me quite a while working out the layout of the flowers in the frame, thank goodness for lots of scrap paper! I started by cutting a piece of white CS slightly smaller than the card front. I die-cut the frame twice from white CS and once from gold CS and glued all together. I used a pencil to mark out where the frame would sit and stamped the flowers and sentiment within that area. Lots of foam tape was added to the frame and it was popped in place. The panel was also put on foam tape too.

The frame die is from Paper Smooches 'Frame 2'. The stamps are all from Waffle Flower 'Loved'.

I have four other challenges I would like to enter:

Little Tangles Challenge # 56 

Happy Little Stampers - May CAS Challenge 


Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge (Let's get Sentimental)

Paper Smooches - Sparks May Wk 1 Challenge 



The weather is still looking good for this week and the weeds are loving all this warmth. I have lots of DT cards and gardening to do this week so hopefully I will be feeling better tomorrow. Its times like this I wish I was the sort of person who made their cards WAY in advance!!

Take care
Shona
