Good Morning Everyone ~ ready for a Stampin’ Up Colorful Seasons Flower Branch card today?
Yesterday morning the girls slept later than they normally do. I guess all the pool time over the weekend wore them out. They were both pretty tired last night and Zoie came and asked me if it was bedtime yet ~ she never does that. Remi went to sleep almost immediately which never happens either. I have to admit I went to bed early also. Being on watch for both girls at the pool wore me out also. They both went to day care so at least I had some quiet time and could do a few things.
Our challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is a sketch challenge.
I am not sure if I followed the sketch per se but it did give me the inspiration for my card. I started with the 4 circles across the bottom. I wanted to do something a little different so I opted to use the Colorful Seasons branch along with the flowers. I stamped the branch very lightly so I knew where to stamp my flower images. I had the one going up the page to represent the rectangles behind the circles (see I said I did not follow it exactly). After my branches were stamped I then stamped the flowers for the branches and used the coordinating framelit to cut them out. The flowers were added using glue dots or dimensionals. I could not decide which ribbon to use so I used both and tied a small bow which was added with glue dots. Here is my completed Stampin’ Up Colorful Seasons Flower Branch.

Check out the other design team members creations at Hand Stamped Sentiments. There are some very talented ladies on the team and I am sure you will see a variety of interpretations of the sketch.
Thanks for visiting me today and I hope I inspired you. I will be gone all day today and then I have the girls tonight til Jess gets home. Love them dearly but I am ready to have my peace and quiet back! Have a Terrific Tuesday and do you think my Stampin’ Up Colorful Seasons Flower Branch has a Japanese feel?
