Flowers From Dilly Beans

This week our Dilly Beans challenge is Flowers.  What a ball I had with this one.  The first image I chose was #184 Flower Girl.  This stamp actually has a flower in her hair, but by doing some cropping and merging in my Printmaster program I was able to size and add #166 Eyeball flower for one of her eyes.  All is colored with Copics.  The mat behind is a Nesties Beaded Oval. The sentiment is one of 9 from the #375 Cute and Dark collection.  And finally, to finish it off, I fussy cut #397 Daisy Border and popped it atop the lattice punch from MS.
I printed the eyeball flower twice to pop it up, but first used my kraft knife to cut out the eyeball part so that the lid could be over the iris, to which I'd added a Rain Dot.  This worked better for me than Glossy accents, because it was perfectly round and stayed that way.  Besides, I have minimal tolerance for waiting for things to dry.  LOL  They worked well for the flower centers on the Daisy Border, too.  The Dilly Beans Designers and Friday Challenge Blog is just blooiming, so be sure to check out the fabulous inspiration by my DT sisters.  And pop over to the Shop too, where Megan has added some fabulous new designs.  She's has even extended the "Buy 10 get 10 Free" offer through midnight TONIGHT (PDT), so HURRY!

I'm entering this card in the Scrap it with a Song challenge, as the song this week is "In My Life" by the Beatles.   It is dedicated to my love, my life  I love you Sweetheart, more than life itself, yesterday, today, and all my tomorrows.

  12. Helloooooooo Donna! Miss me much? Dig the eyeball flower. Or is it a flower eyeball? In any event, it totally makes me giggle. How the heck do you suppress the ADD long enough to cut out those flowers? I'd have shredded them to bits!
