Peachy Keen Challenge 13~10 :: Photo Inspiration

Good evening! I just wanted to share my card I made for this weeks challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps. We were given a photo for inspiration. We could interpret the photo anyway we saw it. I was inspired by all the greens and the browns but what caught my eye was the hint of red and the white snow. The picture sort of remind me of our early spring here. One day you notice your perennials popping up from the ground then get 9~11 inches of snow! This just happened last week ~ my poor crocuses. I so need Spring to come! I am NOT complaining ~ some of you have been hammered with snow ~ I will keep my complaining to a bare minimum! LOL!

So with all that said I decided to pull out my PKS ~ "Potted Flower" dies. I just ADORE these little dies! They really do make me smile and anytime I get the opportunity to use them I do! I used two different greens for the leaves. I LOVE how Gerber daisies leaves are so big so I tried to imitate that look. My idea was to just show the process of nature ~ in a CUTE way. The white we will call my snow ~ LOL ~ the kind you don't have to shovel! I must admit I had this whole entire card put together and photographed and when I downloaded them something didn't seem right ~ it looked boring!  So I tore the whole card apart and started over. It was missing the "Lattice Background" stamp on the brown and Kraft card stock! I ended up heat embossing it it and that little face! I just LOVE to use a colored ink and clear embossing powder together! The look is pretty cool let alone the feel of it ~ IMO.

Well that is all I have for you tonight but I will be back tomorrow with my MCT 3~D Wednesday project. All other materials will be listed below! Thanks for always being so sweet and kind!
