For You...

Hi all!  Hope you are having a fabulous day out there in Blogland.  Well, I finally have things here at home, for the most part, back to some semblance of normal after returning from a wonderfully long & super fun vacation.  It was a bit difficult to get my head back in the game so to speak... I had to find my Mojo again..lol & I figured what better way to do that then to join in a couple of challenges. 8-)


I chose Flourishes Bring Back Beautiful, Flowers Challenge and CR84FN Color Challenge #26 to get the old Mojo flowing again lol.  And you know, I think they did the trick! 8-)



I stamped my favorite Flourishes Gerber Daisy's onto Flourishes Classic White with Memento Tuxedo black and did a bit of masking to add a cute little butterfly from the same set.  I  colored them up with my trusty Copics using a few of the Copic Collections grouped by Flourishes.  I embossed my kraft BG with the help of an embossing folder and my Cuttlebug.  Then I put a nice little embossed edge on my image with my Score Pal and matted it up with a combination of yellow and gold CS from my stash and some  beautiful digi DP from Anita Richards featured at Two Peas in a Bucket.  I used Star Dust Stickels to add some bling to my cute little butterfly & stamped my Impression Obsession sentiment right below my sweet Gerber Daisy bouquet  using Memento Rich Coco.  And that's just about it, I added some ivory seem binding from my stash, attached a fun little golden yellow button with a bit of hemp cord, popped up my main image with some dimensionals and added a few pearls to finish it all up.  Yay!  So good to be back and creating again! 

Hope you all have a fabulous day & thanks so much for visiting with me today! 8-)
