While we don't have showers over here just yet, I'm always happy to make up some pretty flowers! And I couldn't do it without my handy dandy Artiste cartridge! Well, I could but it wouldn't be nearly as fun.
May always seems to sneak up on me. There are so many things going on this month...for everyone! Mother's Day is always a hard holiday for me. I love my boys and they're wonderful...but it makes me miss my own mom.
But luckily I have a fantastic step-mom and I knew I could use this challenge to make her something special! But you know how I was just saying May is so busy...well, I haven't got around to getting it sent to her yet!
So Diane, if you're reading this...STOP!
Ok, moving on. I found a small grapevine wreath in my craft room and went to work covering it with flowers!
Ink: Saddle
Paper: Dakota paper pack, Olive cardstock
Tools: Artiste Cricut cartridge, quilling tool, hot glue gun
Accessories: Burlap ribbon
One piece of advice I have for anyone wanting to make something like this...glue your leaves down first! Then layer your flowers on top.
I...did it the other way around.
I don't know what I was thinking when I did that, but that's what happened.
So if you'd like to join this week's challenge, head over to the H2H Blog and check out the other DT members' creations for more inspiration!
Heart2Heart Challenges Rules:
1.Use Close To My Heart products. Your project doesn't have to be 100% CTMH, but you must use some. After all, this is a challenge blog created and sponsored by CTMH consultants.2.Incorporate this week's challenge...May Flowers!
3.Link your project back to Heart 2 Heart from your blog or online gallery. If you are linking from a blog, you must link directly to the actual post, not your entire blog.
4.You also need to mention Heart 2 Heart (H2H) in your blog post.
5.Finally, we ask that you consider turning off word verification, as it makes it easier for the design team (and others) to leave comments.
Happy Crafting!
