TOOOT TOOOOT!!!

I got an email the other day from Simply Scrapping asking me to be... Are you READY for this??? A Guest CARD designer!!!!! Yep! Card Designer!!! ME! I nearly fell outta my chair! You see, I really struggle with cards. Don't know why. Just do. They tend to frustrate me pretty badly too. So usually I only make them for challenges, special occasions or Christmas... That's why I was so surprised! And I'm new to this particular forum too. But I'd made some tags using Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas and had used them on a couple of cards and had posted them in the Simply Scrapping gallery. I guess they liked what they saw! :)
Anyway, they provided me a sketch and said the twist for the week was flowers. I didn't have any patterned paper I liked that would go with what I wanted to do so I used some stamps and clear embossing powder and created my own! Then my die cut from the Scrapdango September Spice Kit was too plain and flat so I used Stickles and Crystal Lacquer and jazzed it up.
The reveal is today so..... Here's my version of their sketch... Enjoy!

Thanks Simply Scrapping Ladies!!!

ETA - Blogger's being buggy lately. I'm gonna get some help after Christmas and revamp this site so bear with the cut off images please. I'm working on it! Grrrrr!
