Let's Use a Photo

Here's to a great weekend!  It's Saturday, no major issues popping up, and now my third card in 3 days......hopefully Lady Luck and Mr Mojo can stay around for a while!  Today's card is for Stämpelkällan's project of the week, where we were to use a photo in our creation.....something new for me!


I  chose to go with a photo of some flowers from my garden, and of course I'm really looking forward to seeing them again come summer!   I decided to make a frame for them using my Labels 18 Nestie die, and followed that up with this very pretty floral stamp that you can find here.  I've stayed with the nice warm colours of yellow and orange, with a bit of green doodling.  The edging is made with the Classic Triple Scallop die from Spellbinders,and the pearls have been coloured to match with my copics.  I've added some copper stickles for the flower stamens and along the bottom edge for a bit of sparkle.

So here's hoping you have a wonderful weekend....3 days if you are here in Ontario!   Perhaps you'll be able to find some crafting time, and hopefully have a look at the lovely projects from my other team mates.  Thanks so much for visiting, and of course your thoughtful comments.
