Power Poppy - Frame it Up!

It has been a long time since I have had the time or the Mojo to enter a challenge.  I usually don't let many get buy, special the Power Poppy ones. Today I am posting this card that I made for this challenge and I have to say that it is not a favorite of mine.  But, when you mojo has left, you need to start somewhere to find it again. This is my new beginning.  I did make another one today that brings back some promise that my mojo is around and maybe back.  I will need to post that one in a couple of weeks.  Look for it on the Seize the Birthday challenge.

Well, here is what I was talking about.

This is an example of partial die cutting.  I stamped the image form Everything's Even Rosier stamp set and then partially cut the oval stitched die from Lil'l Inkers.  After coloring the roses with distressed inks, as I used water color paper, I placed it on a base of pink card stock.  I believe this was some leftover from Stampin Up.  I doubled it up as it was not very heavy. I was really going for a light pink flower, but this is where my mojo left.  That's my story and I am sticking to it.
This card is going to be mailed to my sister, and I am also entering this in the Power and Spark challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I love your comments and they are very much appreciated.

  1. This is just lovely. That is some detail cut work (which I happen to love) and the sentiment is framed perfectly. Thanks for playing in our Power and Spark challenge this month.
