The fabulous T.O. team have given me a quote to work with for this challenge:
OH so true that! I had no problem choosing which set of florals I'd use ... wait... look again! Your eye may see Hydrangea, but look a wee bit closer ...
This is created with The Bee's Knees: Winged Things - from Stamplorations - thanks again, Shery!
a prize won with that winning butterfly card! You cannot imagine how long I've had it on my wish-list!
I've simply cut that stamped, and Zig-colored, panel using an MFT Stitched Speech Bubble Edge die, and hand-lettered the quote! the largest of the 'petals' was fussy cut, and popped up on foam dots!
Isn't it time you made your own creation based on that wonderful quote? I do hope I've inspired you just a little bit ... if not, all you need to do is visit the Time Out challenge blog ... you'll be just as amazed as I am!
