orange flower and hugs

Hello!  Hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday!  I can't believe how fast this weekend has gone by!  It has been quite hot here so we hit another splash park with the kids today and had a blast!  Lately a lot of people have been commenting on my tan, it seems to be easier to get a tan now as a mom than before when I would sun tan!  How funny! (Don't worry I wear a high spf, who wants to burn?)  Today I have another card to share with my new flower stamp.  I actually made this card before the wedding card but with challenges I shared the other first.  I enjoyed playing with spraying water mixed with perfect pearls and made I think 12 different orange flowers and cut the best up for this card:

I love the second photo of this card as you can see the glimmer the flower has from the perfect pearls!  I cut the flower into two parts and put pop up dots in between the layers to add depth.  I embossed the flower in white and than using the ink pad colored it in.  With the top layer after I sprayed it with water and perfect pearls mixed together I heated it dry with my heatgun, with the bottom layer after I sprayed it I let it air dry and got a different look and a darker color!  I had a lot of fun playing around!   This card fits the current challenge at PaperPlay   which is to make a card with blue, cream and a color of your choosing.   And this week the Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday challenge is to have stamping in your project, which I do with the flower and the sentiment!  I also embossed the blue paper with my new Cuttlebug folder, which I currently cannot find in my mess of a craft table, love those big circles! (I also just noticed the CAS-tastic challenge is a summery card, and to me this is quite summery with the fun bold colors and gorgeous flower! Had to enter it!)

Well I hope you all have a great ending to your weekend!  I can hear my children waking up from there naps right now so I better run and make dinner!
