Try Stampin' On Tuesday: Sketch Inspiration

Color Throwdown: Color Inspiration

Crafting With Dragonflies: Make Your Own Flowers 

(NOT Halloween)

I've used sentiments by Close To My Heart, a glitter gel pen by Sakura, and all other supplies are by Stampin' Up!.  I created the flower using two punched pieces, dimensionals, and a fun glittery center piece.  I rolled the edges of the two punched flowers with a stylus before putting them together with a dimensional--I find that the subtle dimension packs a big WOW punch, don't you think so?  I even did up the inside--RUTH style! ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I appreciate all the kind comments that you leave--they make my day!  I hope you have a Happy Halloween and that you create something new today!  HUGS and merry stamping to you all! :)
