Mornin' y'all! The hubs had a weird work schedule yesterday so he got home after ten last night and I woke up and was so confused that I said "Ryan, what are you doing?" when he came in : ) Ryan had an episode of sleepwalking last week (his first one ever) so that's why mostly-asleep me thought it was Ryan and not the hubs. My little brother used to sleepwalk when we were kids so at least I have some experience with that.
Anyway, I broke out some old, old stamp sets for today's card:
I had just done a Nancy Drew card with Blossoms Abound (I have been having so much fun with those and I'm working ahead) so it was on my mind when I saw the Paper Players color challenge:
I'm contrary so I wanted to do a non-floral card with these colors, and I did, but I didn't really like how it turned out, so I made this one instead. I also used the new sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches:
I stamped my flowers on a 3x3 piece of cardstock, then cut it into 1.5" squares and sponged the edges. I had started with the flowers pointing upwards but after I cut them apart I decided to have them point to the side and that's when I stamped my sentiment. What would this be called, it's not really a mosaic but I like the effect.
Ryan has his extracurricular class today so I get an extra-long day to do fun things in my craft room and maybe do a little laundry. But first it's a beautiful morning and Daphne is ready to go for her walk. Cheers, y'all!

A beautiful way to show off the challenge colors, Christy! I love the flowers pointing to the side. The tile effect is so cool! Thank you for playing in my challenge at The Paper Players this week!
I love these gorgeous clusters of flowers. The little tiles are such a fun way to showcase these blooms. SO happy you joined us at The Paper Players this week
Well this pink lilac is just lovely Christy! I really like the side positioning and the tiled effect; perfect sentiment placement too! A perfect double for both The Paper Players and CAS Colours & Sketches this week!
The tiled effect is really pretty and the use of the soft pink card base is a great design choice. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
I love the way you've quartered your beautiful stamped image - so effective! Thanks for joining us at CAS Colours & Sketches
