Mark' Finest Paper Challenge 69-Just Dandy

Hooray for weekends. Don't know about you but I am looking forward to the down time and a few swims in the pool. The challenge this week at Speedy's Friends is embossing either heat or dry. Please go to Mark's Finest Papers Blog to get all the information and to load your card.

My image is called Just Dandy from Mark Finest Papers and you can find it here. Isn't it fantastic! I did both heat and dry embossing. I just had to see if I could make a Dandelion to go with my image and it worked out pretty well. I used a cuddlebug quilling die to make it. This card measures 5x6-3/4". Pretty odd huh. Well truth be told I started with the image and worked down to the card. I usually start with the card and work up to the image.

Thanks for stopping by today. I appreciate your visit. Hope you have a great relaxing weekend!

  6. Carol, your dandelions are gorgeous in blue. Hey, you gotta work it how you gotta work it. :-)
    I used that patp today and ended up having to throw my card away. It wasn't the punch..it was fine, but a die that I had problems with. What a lot of wasted time. I went another route and that card came together quickly. Whew!
    Anyhooo, you card is spectacular!!

  9. I clicked on the photo so I could see your handmade dandelion better, and it really does echo the stamped one! Very cool. Hope you had a good time swimming on the weekend, and relaxing. Still pretty hot down South, I'd bet. We're finally getting some 80 degree days!
