Congratulations

Hey there friend!  I love Fridays, how bout you?  One fabulous perk to Friday is a new challenge up at CAS-ual Fridays!  Love this weeks challenge, because you get to pick!  I choose the row with buttons, Flowers, and twine.  Love all of these!  So here is what I came up with.


Starting by die cutting a scallop strip and stamping it with a woodgrain stamp, adhered a melon card stock strip over it.


Adhered a twine bow and a Maya Road fabric flower on top of it.  Added a few matching buttons.


Stamped a sentiment from Sentiment Sampler by Paper Smooches (love this set!) and popped it up with foam.


I do believe this would be a fitting entry to the Gallery Idol competition, don't you?  Because of the voting factor, I don't hold out much hope, but it is fun to dream!

Here is the CAS-ual Friday graphic:


Have a great day my friend, I shall be back tomorrow with a great new sketch from Card Patterns!
