This week Papertrey ink is sponsoring the CPS blog and I'm playing along. It's a great sketch.
Here is my little interpretation of this week's sketch.
I decided to create a rolled flower center using two Marvy Punches. ( Extra Jumbo Flower & Super Jumbo Flower.) The background is stamped using Background Basics: Spots & Dots and the sentiment is from Asian Fusion (Being released this Feb 15th).
The flower is super easy to make. Just punch them out and roll the petals in your fingers until the paper starts to split. Peel the petal layers apart just to the edge of the center, revealing the paper fibers. I also inked the edges with Lemon Tart ink.
It was such a fun card to make... I hope you have gotten a bit of inspiration today! Make sure to drop by Nichole's blog for more announcements!
I've had a sicky bug so I'm sorry if my post is a little less talkative than usual. Silly bug got the best of me. We are re-siding and painting our house too... which makes resting difficult. (wanna guess the color?) I've gotten some antibiotics now, so things should be better soon! Poor Chris has been having to deal with a house full of sick girls! Go fishing my love... go as fast as you can! Escape! LOL!
Thanks for poppying by my friends!

Sorry for the sicky bug but have to say imagining hubby in turbo mode is kind of funny Wait until he gets the male version of it ... Could you eventually give a little more details on the flower making trying and not getting there Thank you

Hi Lisa.
I check out your blog every day for some inspiration. I always love what you do. LOVE the great flower and the cheery colors, too.
I hope you all feel better soon. We had a family-wide bug a couple of weeks ago, and it's so hard to get back in your routine. Hope you feel better soon.
