Thank You.........

I kind of stepped out of my "norm" for this card.....

Was kind of fun actually...no pink...seems I have been using that color A LOT lately!

I saw a challenge at City Crafters...it ends tonight...

but I have had this card in my head all week....

A few years ago, my friend "Mary" from Primitive Seasons sent me a Stampendous  thank you stamp.

When I saw the challenge at City Crafters to not use any English , 

I remembered I had it....

it had a "thank you" on the end, but I taped over that before I stamped it..

The DS paper is Tim Coffey from K&Company.....

I thought the lily background would be perfect as well as the black cardstock.

I thought the bamboo shoots were another perfect addition...

I purchased them recently from Classy Cards 'n Such.....

Speaking of (that is how my mind works..all over the place)

this week at CCNS, the challenge is to make a Susan's Garden flower...

give it a try...okay where was I?.....oh yeah, I remember....

But here comes the "fun" part.....

I used Susan's Gardens mini lily dies for my flowers...

Whewie...I have to tell you, these little beauties are "te-di-ous.....

but oh so worth it when you get them done!!!

Do you want a chance to win this die??

I have blog candy and this lily die (well not this one, but one like it..lol) is the "prize"

But don't hate me when you make them...lol..as they are FIDDLEY!!

There is a video on Sizzix of how to do them

I used tiny little "caps" from some of my "flocking" to set them in to dry and keep their petals upright until they were set, then added the leaves after that.....

Go to my top post and read how YOU can win this die....
