I am fortunate enough to host this month for the Divas. Darlene, is the hostess for the Dazzlers. We kicked around some ideas and Darlene came up with the theme of flowers and we ran with it.
We also asked each of the girls to share their favorite flower in their blog post. I am not so much of a flower girl, I mean I know your basics but when you forget to water them, they all look the same....dead! LOL So, my favorite flower would have to be a tulip. Simple and pretty!
Since I am in my 'use what'cha got' phase, I dug out a seriously old stamp. It is Sunflower ll by Delta Creative. I did need to get some paper to have have enough for everyone. Shopping, darn! I even used a button, Kelly! I cut my sunflower from the original stamp to adhere it to the wood tag, colored it up and used Crystal Effects by Stampin' UP! Now that bottle of Crystal Effects is so old it is a wonder it still works! I do like working with it though. It creates a great texture and brings richness to the colors.
Of course the papers reminded me of wood, then of country themed things, then it made me think of Country Music, so I had to listen to this song. It total makes me laugh when I hear it!
Thanks for stopping by....
