Nurture your dreams

Nurture every dream as if it were a precious flower... (Michelle Perkett)

 Almost two weeks ago I was the winner of a blog candy, Lee so generously was giving two digi stamps from Michelle Perkett etsy store, I chose Just Breathe Mermaid and Rosie. So this is the card I made with Rosie.
It´s a square card, I´m not very use to make them so I´m not completely happy on how I used the space in this card.
I made this card to participate on Challenge #17 at Michelle Perkett Studio Challenge Blog. This week is a color combo... a very challenging color combo for me

The fushia color I had is a bit more on the red side, but I liked the patterned paper so much that I decided to use it anyway. I colored the image with colored pencils and I pierced the stems of the flowers with a needle.

I also pierced the patterned paper and faux stitched it with a black gel pen. I cut a sheet of an old book and paint it with light pink acrilic paints and cut following an old template I have and I faux stitched also but on the outside of the paper.

I cut out the sentiment from the digi stamp and glued the words separately. I used two rhinestones on the corners of the pink paper, and added two flowers I stamped with clear stamps on the pink paper. I cut the flowers, crumpled them and stitched some glass beads on the centers. The border of the card is also pierced.

My friend Marilyn shared with me her mom´s recipe to make Oatmeals Rolls. I´m preparing them right now. My idea is to have them ready to eat for breakfast tomorrow. Lets see how they turn out! I´ll post a picture of them tomorrow. Thanks so much for sharing Marilyn!!!
