TPV Challenge - Guest Designer!

I'm so honored to be a guest designer for The Paper Variety challenge reveal today!  My idea (flowers) was randomly chosen for their next challenge.  This not only won me a wonderful gift certificate, but it also gave me the opportunity to create a project, to be displayed along with their other designers, for their new challenge.  If you have not been to The Paper Variety you must check them out.  They are amazing! Also, be sure to check out all of their design team members.  They all make spectacular projects!  Here is my project for the challenge reveal:

Of course I added some sparkle to it! I used icicle Stickles on the flowers and the border around the "Happy Easter" sentiment (which is from a set of stamps that came in a big plastic barrel, but I don't remember who they are made by).   It is hard to tell, but the card background is brown.  I also embossed the flowers with my Cuttlebug, to give them some dimension. The pattern paper is from the dollar spot at Target (woo hoo!).  The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby, and the flowers are cut from Forever Young.

Be sure to hop over and submit your flower project at The Paper Variety!

 

The Paper Variety design team member Patti is their fabulous sponsor and the prize below is being offered to the challenge winner!

 

I chose flowers because I am soooo ready for spring.  Even though it has technically been spring for several weeks, it definitely doesn't feel or look like it where I live. I hope that everyone has fun with this challenge.  I can't wait to see what everyone makes!  As always, I love to read your comments.  I will have another project up in a couple of days so be sure to check back! *~*Thanks for stopping by*~*
