Stampin' Up! Wildflower Meadow

Here's another of my Wildflower Meadow samples that I made for the Convention display boards.  I thought it might be neat to use emboss resist with it and it turned out okay.

Not sure about those faces!  lol  We had a nice day out yesterday going to Archiver's, lunch, and then Costco.   Sunday night was rough, but she crashed yesterday morning for a bit and we were all able to go back to sleep. Once we were up we needed out of the house! Teething is rough on everyone for sure.

Here's another one of the cards I made for the display boards.  I wasn't a big fan of using the entire Wildflower Meadow stamp, but in smaller doses I thought it was okay.  I used the coordinating embossing folder on some Core'dinations paper and thought it made for a fun look.

Paper:  Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party Core'dinations, Whisper White
Accessories:  Early Espresso stitched grosgrain ribbon, Basic Pearls
Tools:  Big Shot, Wildflower Meadow EF, sanding block, Finishing Touches Edgelits

Yesterday was a rough day in more ways than one.  Laila has another molar coming in so we were up a lot (2:30 until almost 5) with her.   She was pretty fussy most of the day and had some epic meltdowns.  We did manage to go to the cemetery and release balloons and put out some cheery sunflowers.   After that we come home for a bit and then went to Build-a-Bear.  We let her pick out her own animal and she homed in on this cute bunny and wouldn't let go.  Now we have a cute bunny named Eli for her.

When I found the email telling me I was chosen to be a display stamper, I was so excited!!!!   However (there's always a but, right?!), I crossed everything and hoped that I didn't end up with the Gingham Garden suite.  Well...you can see what happened, right?  I cried when I opened the box and saw it.   After a bit I got over and decided it would just be the biggest stamping challenge I would probably ever take on.  

This was the first card I made with it and I think I managed to tame it into something that resembled my style.  I used colors that I love and a fairly simple design.  It's a stamp that looks wonderful on watercolor paper, so be sure to try that out if you haven't already!
