Too Kind Fall Flower

I took some time to play.  Some of my attempts went in the trash, but a few made the cut.  Here's one of them.

I was trying some different color combinations with this 2-step stamp from Too Kind.  The larger flower was awful! Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler didn't look good to me.  But Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango looked lots better.  Not wanting to waste the whole image, I cut out the little flower.  Then came the tricky part. How to use it?

I pulled this oval out of an envelope with some left over embossed pieces and sponged the center with some Soft Sky ink.  I adhered the flower, added a bow, and it was ready to go.

Lots of inspiration helped to put the card together.

Queen for the Day, Dara, had this beautiful card in her gallery that inspired.  I wasn't familiar with Dara at SCS, but I sure enjoyed browsing her gallery and getting to know her style.

Cuttlebug Mania has an Autumn Theme.  I'm not sure this is what they're looking for, but it has embossing with a Big Shot. I think the flower looks Fallish with it's orange hues.

Freshly Made Sketches helped me tweak the layout.  Here's the fab sketch by Linda C.

Pixie's Snippet Playground requires the use of snippets.  The oval and decorative paper pieces were all snippets.  Pixie's is so much fun and she has fabulous prizes each week as well as a very inspiring gallery and friendly folks.

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is looking for Clean and Simple and this is pretty CAS. You really need to check out their Design Team cards and the gallery.  So much inspiration there!
