Hosting a Challenge at Do More with Less {PRIZE Alert!}

 

DSC03772 The PRIZE! If you choose to play along my challenge!

Hello everyone! I told you guys a couple of months back that I have another GD post due, this is it! I was invited by Yvonne of “Do More with Less” to host a challenge either featuring my excessively layered cards or my blooms… OFCOURSE I chose flowers and today (as promised), I have a pictorial for you on Yvonne’s blog, HERE.

Did you check out my yesterday’s card? This is the same flower. Here we go!

Here is my project. A wall hanging.

The details:

DSC03401 Pie Lane glitter balls as rays, background stamp by Skipping Stones Design

DSC03400

This frame was actually a rejected Silhouette cut, I gave it a makeover by spray painting it with silver and then with Lacquer, inked it a bit with Fun Cube in Cocoa. Added loads of pearls and glitter balls and voila! A Victorian frame!

If you choose to play along, my challenge for you is to make your own ribbon or fabric flower(s), easy peezy. Do play along peepz! There is a prize up for grabs! Here are the ribbons pictured with Tim Holtz ruler just to give you an idea that there is a lot of ribbon here!

Organza ribbon and polka dotted satin ribbon! I hope I have bribed you enough with this picture :) COOOOME play! You’ve got two weeks! Click HERE to take you directly to the challenge post.
