Now, it's Three Minute Thursday here today so it's time for a very fast card. Madison Avenue, one of the lovely sets you can get free as part of the Sale-a-bration promotion, was out on my desk and within minutes this had happened:
You can get so many looks from Madison Avenue and this particular card seems to be rocking a bit of a peacock feather vibe!
The stylised flower was made by punching out concentric circles and glueing them together slightly off-centre. I love the way it looks with this amazing leaf image.
Such a bold flower needed a bold sentiment and what better set to reach for than Sassy Salutations? I'd stamped my flower and sentiment onto a panel cut slightly narrower than my card base and a quick score to the right and left edges gave a bit of detail and a neat finish.
Here's what you'll need to make this card
Stamps: Madison Avenue (free with Sale-a-bration), Sassy Salutations
Ink: Garden Green, Elegant Eggplant
Card stock: Whisper White, scrap of Elegant Eggplant, Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy
Punches: 3/4" and 1/2" circle punches, Circle from Itty Bitty punch pack
Other: Simply Scored, stamp-a-majig

My youngest son came home from school yesterday complaining of feeling headachey and cold so after a hot bath he went straight to bed. When the children were small we'd put life on hold and curl up on the sofa together when they were poorly and I remember it being quite a relief to have a bit of a rest myself! If they needed pain relief, I'd give them liquid paracetamol which we always called Fluffy Pink Medicine. Once, I couldn't get the pink stuff and one of them was outraged at the idea of taking Fluffy White Medicine - no matter how much I emphasised its fluffiness, it just didn't have the pink magic required!
See you tomorrow for lots of excitement as the new spring/summer catalogue is launched!
Super card Vicky
