Flower Smiles

Good Morning Friends! Well I had a fun day yesterday -- 3 hours at the dentist office getting a temporary crown put on a tooth that broke off last week. It's a little achy now so I had to do something to take my mind off it. Here's the result! My card will be entered in three challenges -- Artful Inkables to use paint swatches, Flourishes April Challenge to use a twinchie (2 inch by 2 inch segment) that is the focal point of the card, and stampTV Inspire Challenge to make a card that will brighten someone's day and send it to them! My card base is Very Vanilla by Stampin' Up and all the colored layers are paint swatches. I really like the different textures -- the corner borders and the frames around the stamped images are a rough suede-type texture and I embossed the shiny paint swatch. The flower image and the sentiment are from Gina K. Designs latest stamp TV kit, Spring Mix and were stamped with Bordering Blue and Old Olive from Stampin' Up. I bought the rhinestones and ribbon at Michael's but am not sure of the maker's names.
I'm going to try to get a little sleep now -- till later,

Betty
