CR84FN57 Week 2 39

Mona Pendleton | Saturday, June 30, 2012 @ 8:55 PM | CR84FN , MFT. Die-namics

Hi there! It's week two of the CR84FN57 Color Challenge! We are still enjoying all the beautiful entries filling the gallery so please keep them coming!

I made a card for my sweet boss / GF to let her know how much I appreciate her. She's always so thoughtful and mindful of not only mine but all the staff's needs. Being the boss of a surgery department is no easy task! It requires some very fancy ego stroking skillz in order to keep all those surgeons happy! Without surgeons, both her and I wouldn't have our jobs that we love so much :) I'm very grateful there is someone like her who does that job so well because I know I surely couldn't!

I used a combination of My Favorite Things / Die-namics to create this card. The fun fan fold embellishment that the rose is perched on was created using several dies from the Die-namics First Place Award Ribbon Die & Stamp Set in combination with Die-namics 3/8" Rosette and the beautiful bloom was made using Die-namics Rolled Rose Die and Die-namics Royal Leaves.

For sketch inspiration, I played along with the My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Camp sketch challenge #78:
