Flowers, Flowers and more Flowers

I set about to work on a few online challenges and ended up using flowers for both. I guess that fits just fine for spring!

This first card fits with the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger for my inspiration and I used 2 Sketches 4 You sketch #52 to help with the arrangement of the card. I was drawn to two specific things in the Tuesday Trigger, the wonderful wavy, ruffle edge on the plates and the luscious peach, white and blue. I used a pair of wavy decorative scissors and but out layers of the white and peach colored papers and layered them on the front of my card.

The flowers are from a set of stamps by JustRite stamps. I colored them with Copic markers and added them to my card with foam tape for dimension. The sentiment is an SRM sticker.

My next card puts to use this great color combo from the Embellish Magazine challenge.

I used the Unscripted sketch #54 for the arrangement of the parts of my card.

Notice the embossed cardstocks on the card. I used two different pieces from the Core Impressions collection by Core'dinations. The flowers are chipboard flowers by Cosmo Cricket.

The scallop circle is a sticker by October Afternoon and the sentiment sticker is by SRM.

And, now for a few photos. We have had some severe winds recently and it is so neat what it does to the ocean. I stopped at the beach this week to get some photos. There were soooooo many birds. Big ones and tiny ones.

Here a ton of the tiny ones were flying along the shore.

They would all turn this way and that together, here they glowed white with the sun on them.

They would all run in and run out with the waves. It was so fun to watch them.

You can barely see them as they were flying towards our pier. See the amazing waves?

Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
