JUST ADD INK #66 - JUST ADD A FLOWER

With Mother's Day looming (at least in the southern hemisphere!), the girls at Just Add Ink have laid down a challenge this week to make Mums smile by adding a flower to a papercraft project.

Whoa - what a broad challenge!  I didn't quite know where to start, and was majorly tempted to make something with one of my fab-o flowers a la Joanne Leddy, but I instead opted to pare it back to basics, and go with a super-simple stamped image.

I'm not sure if the cards for the JAI challenge are meant to be specifically for Mother's Day ... hopefully this qualifies, because I think my little (rather Parisienne) girl is rather sweet.  This is one of my non-Stampin' Up! images that I coloured while we were away at our cabin over Easter.



Stamps: Bluebell (Sugar Nellie), Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card: Basic Black, Blushing Bride, Beckett Expression Radiance Super-Smooth white card
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad
Other: Framed Tulips embossing folder, Basic Pearls, Decorative Label Punch, Prismacolor Pencils and Odourless Mineral Spirits
