Red Hot Flowers

  Snowing and cold today.  Forecast:  More Snow and Colder.  So, naturally my thoughts ran to heat and flowers -- the grass is always greener type thing, huh?  I got some new red Bazzill cardstock for Christmas and I saw a new card layout on the internet, so I decided to try to incorporate them both into a card.

There is a Lovely Lady...

Here is the latest challenge sent to me for this week:
- 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card
- Any inks and/or embossing powder
- Any sentiment mounted any way
- One stamp
- Absolutely nothing else
- 30 minutes from start to finish

Made this little quickie with a 50 cent Scrappy Cat image and a Impression Obsession sentiment:

Had almost 10 minutes left, so I made this card with a snowflake from The Paper Studio, but because the clock was running out, I stamped the sentiment (Serendipity) straight on to the card.
