Catered Crop Flower Power Recipe Swap

I have been a long time fan of Linda McClain and the Catered Crop.  I love the beautiful inspiration boards she puts together to get our creativity jumping.  I am so thrilled to be able to regularly participate now as a designer!

 

For my Flower Power card for this week’s recipe swap, I decided to use some beautiful Echo Park chipboard and papers that I had sitting on my desk.  I am really starting to love using stickers and chipboard.  It is so fun, versatile, quick and easy. 

 

2013-03-20 CC Flower power WM

 

I was inspired by an old SFYTT sketch.  (September 2011-SFYTT) and this beautiful inspiration board aon Pinterest put together by Linda.   I added some Liquid Pearls to the center of the flower to give it a little something extra.

 

 

If you click on the inspiration board above, it will take you to the Pinterest board where you can get to the original inspiration and a few tutorials.

 

I hope my card and this beautiful inspiration board from Linda will inspire you to create a project for the Catered Crop Flower Power challenge.  Stop by the Catered Crop to link up your project and see the challenge details.
