think about it Thursday

If you could spend a day with
any crafter who would it be?
Would you choose a designer, a fellow blogger
or a crafty friend?
So many choices but if I had one pick
I would love to spend the day with

Julie Ebersole
a very talented designer
at Ellen Hutson
I love her YouTube Videos, her designs
and her laugh always makes me giggle...

Winner and Wishing you a happy Birthday



 
 did get a chance to use yesterday's flower
I had made a watercolor background
and I just didn't like it at all
so hating to waste anything
I kept thinking about what to do with it
so I used Stampin up Mixed florals
with versa mark ink
hero arts detail white embossing
punched it out with the matching punch
surprised myself how pretty it looked
add an enamel dot to the center
added MEMORY BOX DIE 98502-Fresh Foliage
sentiment Papertrey ink  Mat Stack 1 

and another peony this one came from
my sister's house

really love all the laying in this card so pretty.
The image is adorable and don't know if anyone
saw the movie "Big Eyes" but as soon as I saw this
card I thought of the movie. Those big green eyes
so enchanting.
