I would never normaly use a red and brown colour combo but I had a red K&Co stack on my table and mucked about making these flowers with it then couldn't be bothered making more in another colour for my card so I just stuck with the red (and used soem otehr red paper from a DCWV stack too) and the brown was another K&Co stack that was lying there so I just took the top sheet out and used it. My thinking was if it looks terrible together it doesn't really matter because it will probably look terrible no matter what colours I use, so that's where my colour combo came from. That was a bit long winded wasn't it? lol.
I really wanted to use this Sugar Nellie stamp because I bought 4 a few months back and have only used 2 of them so wanted to ink them up and this is one of them. I realised after I had made half the card and hadn't coloured my image, that all my red copics are running out! (again!!) so I decided I would paper piece her.Probably not the best idea I have ever had. It's not one of my stamps I would of choose if I knew I would be paper piecing because she has tiny fiddly bits to cut out, but I did it anyway. I used the same K&Co papers on her and only coloured her hair and skin and the little butterfly because that would just be silly to paper piece it lol.
The dragonflies on the strip of red are a stamp I got free in a magazine and I just stamped a few randomly with distress ink.
The ric rac at the top is velvet feel stuff and is there to cover an accident, it is lighter irl. I did put 2 rows of pearls with pearl paint but I forgot I had left it to dry and put something else on top of it, so it was all squashed and a bit of a mess!
I think that's it for this card. Oh I made my flowers with the SU! 5 petal punch and a Dovecraft flower punch. Punched 3 SU! ones and 2 of the Dovecraft ones for each flower. Embossed the backs to curl them and layered them up.
Well that's it from me, hope you are all having a great weekend. I may not be making much cards but I will stop by your blogs to see what you have been up to :)

Oh you poor thing,
It's just awful when your creativity flies out the window isn't it. Not to worry hun, it will come back - it inevitably gets lonely out there in the wilderness and so seeks solace in the places it knows - i.e your head!!! Keep smiling babe - it will be back!!!

I am so sorry you don't feel like creating. I do love this card. Love the image and the paper piecing is fabulous. Great sketch too.
I just went through no mojo myself not too long ago ( I am sure you remember) so I know exactly too well how you feel. Hang in there it will return - I promise.
Hugs,
Ellie.
