Oh my!!! Bwaahaahaa!!! Yep, it's time for a new challenge at
Michelle Perkett Studio!!! Sorry I'm late posting but I seem to be having issues with Blogger today!! Hmmm....for some reason my computer is hating me here lately!! Anyway....Our challenge this week was to use homemade flowers and to use stitching on those flowers. Here's my card and then I'll tell you my story!! :)
Yea...your probably thinking......dang, her flower looks lame. Well, you can blame it on my hubby!!! He went to the city on Saturday and was supposed to pick me up 3 simple things. Do you think he remembered to do it!?! NO!! Did he have a list!?! YES!! Did he forget any of his stuff!?! NO!! Ugh....darn men! Living in a very rural town I don't have access to the things that I always need and therefore....I had to improvise!! I used chipboard flowers and then cut out CS to fit them, used a little Distress ink and glued them all together!!! Damn....I forgot the stitching (I had every intention of stitching around the edge of the flower)!!! Have you ever tried to stitch through chipboard!?! Yea...it just wasn't going to work so I decided to use faux stitching on my flower and actually do stitching for the stem. I am not happy with this card at all because I had something totally different in mind and well, that just didn't work out (THANKS TO HUBBY)!!!!!
I do love this image though and I'm really happy with how she turned out!! Something in my control!! LOL!! Her name is Ballerina Bunny and you can find her
HERE along with a lot more awesome images that are must haves!!!
I hope you will join us this week for our challenge and hope to see you there!!!
Have a good one!!
