Just a quick post with my Impression Obsession entry for this challenge :
http://mitrafriant.typepad.com/impression_obsession_news/2013/04/welcome-to-our-new-challenge-and-its-time-to-check-out-what-the-dts-flowers-for-you-challenge-creations-by-clicking-on.html
I'm very
cheap, um, thrifty and I like to keep the smallest bits of paper and cut flowers and butterflies for them. I had cut quite a stash with the IO Flower dies (DIE047-J), and decided maybe I should use some on this challenge. We've been working in the yard and planning our gardens, so the IO stamp of the wheelbarrow (D132) seemed appropriate. I used a technique I hadn't done in ages, I coloured on the stamp with markers, I like the look, it's a little softer.
I've been at the mercy of horrible migraines lately, so I'm really sorry that I haven't been able to comment or even look at all the blogs I love. Just posting this, is really making me ill. But I plan to visit all the other entries, and my favorite bloggers when I'm better!
Shona, This is just beautiful!! Beautiful vibrant colors and how creative to use the flower die cuts for the frame too!! Love it. Thanks for playing and good luck in the drawing too!

The frame made out of flowers is a great idea - as I am thrifty too I should do the same to use up my scraps - Love the stamp and the trellis too. Get well soon !
