Tea Roses

Well, it's Tuesday! we made it through Monday:) WooHoo!

My card for today took four different challenge ideas and inspirations to complete..I titled it Tea Roses, because a Rose takes time and effort to grow and cultivate just as this card has:)

..and there are a few roses on it as well:)

 Ideas were swirling in my head after seeing

the photo from Inspired by All the Little Things #5

Teacups, Butterflies, Soft colors

Next was the 

Essentials by Ellen March Mix It Up Challenge: Pretty Pink Posh

I only have a few Essentials By Ellen dies as well  as Pretty Pink Posh Dies and Sequins

Limited supplies= narrow options

Then I came across this BEAUTY of a card on IG from Hussena 

and find she is Guest Designing for a Challenge new to me.

Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #5

Now I'm getting somewhere!  I chose the middle three going across

Friendship/Gold/Layers

And Finally, This Post from Michele Ferguson pops up in my Feedly.

She happens to be week's the Muse at The Muse Card Challenge #156.

Michele encourages us to make THANK YOU cards in ANY style this week.

Super, I'll make it a thank you as well as Friendship:)

And there you go! Four Challenges, 

Four Ideas to make a card I'm happy with in the end:)

Yes, It's a shaker:)

How I made this:

• I cut several roses in white cardstock using Wild Garden from Essentials by Ellen
• adhered them onto a clear piece of acetate paper, 
• cut it down to 4x4 so it would layer under the PPP Square Scallop die.
• added a BOW from Crinkle ribbon to create the allusion of a butterfly
• Cut and sponged some color on a teacup from PTI and a tiny tag.
• Embossed in WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Pale EP
• Dangled these from a clip pin embossed in the same EP as above.
• Placed my PPP Sweat Pea sequin mix on the cardbase PP 
• Carefulyl layered the scallop frame over them with foam tape.
• Die cut THANK YOU, embossed it in CLEAR adhered to base.
