Let's be Royal

A Royal Challenge has been decreed for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! 
Every Paper Princess is in need of a crown, so I created mine with paper flowers.

I normally don't make flowers. I leave that to Emma and Anna-Karin. I love their luscious flowers! But when I got the Maggie Holmes Confetti die, I discovered that I like making flowers too. Funky Flowers!

Creating an entire garden was easy because the die set has a lot of fun pieces to mix and match. I added some pen scribbles to the blooms for added artistic flair. And I'd like to thank my crafty friend, Kimberly for giving me the courage to leave my own marks. :) Blog friends are the BEST!

The wand in the first photo? Every Queen must have a scepter! This wand was from a previous challenge that I did for Simon Says Stamp. You can see more of them at Making Magic Happen.

Rule the Royal Challenge! Link your Royal project to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog and your project could win a $50 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp. We draw a new winner each week. Your project could also be chosen to be featured in our weekly designer spotlight.

Sparkle

Snow and ice hit the mid-south again this past week. A good time to play with stamps! It's been too long since I've played with the ladies at Unscripted Sketches. I flipped their sketch this week to create a card loaded with sparkle. Rarely will you see a project without distress inks here, but here it is!

I used stamps from the February card kit from Studio Calico and some of the newer embellishments from Maggie Holmes. I adore that doily embossing folder! The bows are from Freckled Fawn.
