OCC....Birthday Black-Eyed Susans


Happy Saturday Peeps!!

It is time for another challenge over on the Our Creative Corner Blog. This week our challenge hostess is Sarah Gough from THinkING STAMPS and she has a fun challenge for us, All the B's! Use Buttons, Black, Bling and a Bow on your creation!

I pulled out another new set from the Stampin' Up Idea Book & Catalog. This one is called "Field Flowers". I had to do this one in yellows to look like my favorite field flowers, Black Eyed Susans. I love these flowers and they grow wild all over the place around here and even seem to thrive in the terrible heat. I even saw some one year growing between some bricks in an alley near the store I use to work at.

The base of my card is basic black card stock. The next layer is the beautiful Daffodil Delight that I embossed with the square lattice embossing folder. The main image panel is stamped with the leaves/stem of the flowers and then I stamped the flowers and center on scrap whisper white and cut out and added to the main panel with dimesionals.



I have been kinda hooked on this layout, you can see other examples of it HERE,  HERE and HERE. It is a great layout for large image panels and I do love a crooked panel. LOL!!!

I added a small little daffodil delight butterfly with some "BLING" on it and my "BOW" is made with some Stampin' Up basic black satin ribbon. I added a "BUTTON" from the Stampin Up Designer buttons brights collection pack to the center of the bow. I am sure you can see all the "BLACK"  the ribbon, the brads, the flower centers, and of course the card stock.



Be sure to check the Our Creative Corner Blog to see what the rest of the design team came up with for this fun  challenge. I hope you can find some time to play along and if you do don't forget to link it up over on the Our Creative Corner Blog so we can all see it!

Thanks for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

    LOVE these flowers in yellow & black (this set is on my wish list)! It really is a great layout...the tilted panel gives is more visual interest!

    I've seen several beautiful cards from you lately and haven't been able to keep up with my commenting. This is another one of them! I almost went with yellow and black myself! Several of us were on that track apparently! I'm still trying to make a card with this set that I like. Love this...as I do most everything you create!

    Vicki~ I love your color combo and not just because I did the same one. I think the buttery yellow really helps the black pop! I have this stamp set, and I have yet to ink it up! I can't wait! Thank you for showing us such a wonderful card!
