Awesome Mum

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Happy World Cardmaking Day!

Here's a card I did with our Craft Group last Wednesday.  It's always so
much fun to get together with these gals! 


This time I was hosting and this is one of the projects I had for them to do.

The heat embossing makes for some easy watercoloring.  The die to cut the 
flower and leaves makes it even easier.  No need to be neat!

I had an extra, just in case, and colored it up afterwards with my Zigs.


I lent the stamp and die to one of the gals that wanted to do some at home. It was easy
to fussy cut this flower. Phew!  It's on it's way to a friend with some medical worries.

I don't know about you, but I have plans to do some cardmaking today.

Your big mums are gorgeous. Love how you embossed them in white and then watercolored them. The first one is so pretty in those colors and the displayed beautifully in those fall colors. The second card is beautiful also. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.

Your Mums are beautiful, Bonnie. I have a stamp like that from Ellen Hutson. Thanks for inspiring me to get it out. I know how much fun it is to craft with someone and a whole group must be even more wonderful. No card making for me today. We're on our way back to Ohio as soon as we get the cottage winterized.

Your Spider Mums are just gorgeous, Bonnie! And your card layouts are awesome, too - it's often difficult with one big bloom, isn't it?
I hope I get a chance to play cards today! but I sure wish it was with you!

Two wonderful cards featuring the chrysanthemum as the star. I love this flower and both cards. I like the first card the most, with its very interesting layout.

Two beautiful cards, Bonnie, but the second one is the one that sings to me - the colour and the sentiment are perfect.

Both cards are stunning! I love both of the beautiful mums and your card design as well -- I am really loving the argyle plaid on the second card

I think this must be one of the prettiest mum stamps ever, and it's gorgeous again with your two colors and beautiful card designs! It must have been so fun for your group, too! ps: Congrats on being the chosen guest designer at PBSC!
