The challenge this week on Daring Cardmakers has been set by my lovely Funky Hand teamie....the uber talented LYTHAN and I had great fun with this one...after a little bit of a panic.......
SUPERSIZE ME
the idea being to use super size embellishments on your card....
bonus points for extra large flowers...

oh dear another problem ....I don't have any super sized flowers...
gave them all away because I thought I would never use them...
so a little bit of improvisation was called for

a box of Bridal Petal Confetti I bought many moons ago
at my local Wholesale Florist......and have never used it.....
OK I had to build up each petal but it gave a lovely layered look
and turned out rather gorgeous....don't you think

BUT I just knew when I bought it....it would come in handy
someday and if you believe that...you will believe anything.....
and how much was it......£1.95....yes for hundreds of petals
And what have I got planned for today......steam cleaning the tiles and worktops in my lovely freshly painted kitchen and oh dear.....just saying this makes me cringe.....get stuck in to cleaning the oven.....yuck....but there will be a little reward for all this scrubbing and wiping......and for all the AMERICAN CRAFTS Fans out there...can't just be me that is addicted to their fabby ribbons and thickers.....Rosemary Merry is on QVC tonight at 5.00pm with a whole hour of American Crafts......have booked my front row seat.
Will catch up with you all tomorrow and a little reminder for you all.....tomorrow is a very special day....bet you've forgotten...well I will be back to give you all the details in the morning.....Hugs Kath xxxxxx
