When I saw the challenge over on the flourishes blog, I wanted to play along. It's called the Name Game and it was Sue's idea. You use your initials to come up with a card. Mine are: B.S.E. The S is for my maiden name, which is Summers. I used blossoms for the B, stamping for the S and when it came time for the E, I could not think of anything. I'm sure you're all saying it out loud already, but it took me awhile. Then it hit me. . . .embellishments! Yay! :)
I used the Zinnea stamp set from Flourishes for my card. I love to color this image and used Copics to do so. the paper is from the 6x6 pack called, Memoir, from Studio Calico, and the pretty satin ribbon is yet another one from Vanessa - LOVE! I stamped the Hero Arts Music Background onto the green paper and added some flowers and gems for the embellies.
One more thing before I go. Sue is also hosting a 90-Minute Scramble tomorrow (Saturday) over at the Hero Arts Flickr group. I love these fun scrambles! Click here for all the details.
Thanks for your visit today and have a wonderful weekend! :)

So love your card Barb. Florishes stamps are so beautiful arent' they, but imagine how beautiful they are when you use them and bring them to life. I so love this challenge of yours and no, you weren't slow figuring out the letter E, but just so enthused with your creating that you remembered it later. Lol. Your too funny! Your such a joy to our Flickr group and it would never be the same without. Big Hugs.
