I had thought to enter the base of this card to the Stamper's First Aid challenge, since I was having trouble finishing it off.
I had so much fun making the background with Happy Hexagons and the hexagon background die; it was like making a pretty puzzle. After a bit more effort, I completed it as you see below.
A little leaf die from Turning a New Leaf, Happy Birthday from Beautiful Butterflies and a seam binding rolled rose did the trick!
The inner sentiment is from Flower Fusion #9...
I still have to peruse all the offerings made by the Papertrey Ink design team to the Stamp-a-faire event Saturday, but I never would have participated if it wasn't for my dear friend, Linda, who connected me with PTI in the first place! I joined Linda on Saturday for a bit of card making and challenge participation; here she is with some of her entries. Good luck in the challenges, Linda, and thanks for your wonderful hospitality!

Another inspiration challenge
I don't know what's got into me, I've joined three challenges in one week! It's been more than a month since I felt like doing any papercrafting but it looks like I'm back!
My inspiration for this card was the felt flowers I saw on Erin Lincoln's and Melissa Phillips' posts (the folded flower idea is from an older post by Jessica Witty).
It's a really simple card but has a lot of drama due to the rich colors (gorgeous PTI Scarlet Jewel felt, Rich Razzleberry ink and card stock, and Pear Pizzazz ink for the stem). I used the flower from Flower Fusion #2 and the stem from Flower Fusion #9 - love those! I die cut three of the felt flowers and snipped them into three folded sections, then adhered them with a bit of glue and glue dots to another flower die cut from Razzleberry card stock. A jeweled rhinestone in the center adds a bit of sparkle.
The bow is made with SU taffeta in Rich Razzleberry and another rhinestone brad. The fabulous embossing folder, which works perfectly with the oval die cut, is from Cuttlebug. The sentiments are both from Flower Fusion #9.
I'm happy that I've been inclined to participate in these challenges. I really appreciate all the lovely inspiration shared by so many talented paper crafters - thank you!
