Peachy Challenge :: Just Cards ~ Card for Kelli

Good evening all! I am so excited that I actually got a card made for the Peachy Challenge~  over at Peachy Keen Stamps! I just adore their stamps! My card also serves as a purpose. I made this for a friend of mine, his niece, Kelli. She is going through a bit of a rough patch right now and I hope this brightens here day just a little! Hang in there Kelli ~ you have a wonderful family and their many friends rooting for you!

With all that said this weeks challenge is about making a card but using your own background! I LOVE this idea! So I looked through my stash of Peachy Keen Stamps and came across the stamp set ~ Flower Centers. I think these stamps are from my VERY first order from PKS! I have to admit I don't think I have EVER used them before today. After today ~ I know I will be using them more often! So I decided for my background I would just stamp the circles just randomly using my Versa mark ink ~ so I could heat emboss them. I used all Stampin Up ink. Since it is Spring I decided to use the Funny Flowers Die! It  always puts a smile on my face when I see them! Well I decided I was going to cut it out twice in white and once in purple. On the white cuts I  stamped some circles using the same Flower Centers stamps on this flower! Then paper pieced them alternating them and curling some of the petals so you can see the purple too. I use My Creative Time Teeny Tag Greetings Stamp Set. ~ just to remind her to keep smiling! I covered a lollipop stick with some twine and added my big green bow. I wanted it to look like the leaves. Not sure if it does or not ~ you be the judge! LOL! Well I think that is it for the card! I actually like how this turned out! I hope Kelli does too!
