Make it Monday

I always like to "give it the old college try" as they say.  I followed the tutorial once again at Make it Monday - The Paper Try Ink Inspired Blog.  They had a tutorial on making flowers out of leave die cuts.  I made my flowers using a PTI leave die cut and used some vintage wool felt I got from a sweet, elderly, crafty woman at a quaint boutique in Northern Minnesota.  I put a Recollections brad in the center, and stamped a little PTI sentiment stamp.  It is one of the simplest cards I've made in a long time.  But like I said, I always like to give it an effort so that I can enter their awesome giveaway of a $25 PTI gift certificate.  Cross my fingers AND my toes, right?

Here is a link to their Make it Monday Challenge:

And here is my simple card:

I kept thinking, "INK it, GLITTER it, Sew on it, do SOMETHING to it."  But, I didn't.  It's just that simple.  OK, I think I'm still gonna ink the cream cardstock around the edges.  That's just how I am.  I can never quite leave it alone.

I'm also entering it in the challenge at Simon Says Stamp since I used my favorite tool, my Cuttlebug and die cuts, to make it:

Thanks for stopping by.  I'm off to get a fill at my favorite Nail Salon.  Hope you all have a great day!
