Take Time To Smell The Flowers

Taking time to smell the flowers is exactly what I'm doing at the moment... I'm on holiday in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, but I did bring my trusty laptop with me so I thought I'd "post" this card, which I made before I left home!
I've used the adorable Teddy Bo image 051 "Lazy Days", coloured with my current favourite medium Prismacolor pencils.  Totally Papercrafts has Favourite Things for its challenge as does Divas by Design so I'm entering there and Gem of a Challenge has Perfect Pastels so I'm entering there too.  I think the image evokes a feeling of spring so I'm entering the challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges and Digital Tuesday who both have Spring themed challenges. 
I've used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday, always a great place for sketches.    Sweet Stampin' has Show Us Your Layers for its challenge, as always it's hard to see but I've got plenty of layers here! The Teddy Bo challenge is an interesting one, its a menu.  I have chosen Blue and Cream for my starter, Flowers for my Main, Ribbon for my Dessert and a Charm for my Coffee course.  Crafty Emma's Store challenge is also to Use a Charm, so I'm entering there, and Allsorts Challenges has Say It With Flowers so entering there too.
The papers I've used are from my stash, the lovely pearly embossed paper came from Starfish Lane - most of my "special" papers do! the little flowers are from a punch I've had for YEARS with flat back pearl centres.  The image panel is cut using Nestabilites Label Four and I've used Martha Stewarts Doily Lace punch on the horizontal panel.  The spotty ribbon is from my stash, as is the slider and the heart charm.  Waste Not Wednesdays is getting us to use our stash, so I'm entering there.  The Paper Shelter and Paper Crafting Journey both have Anything Goes challenges so I'm in there too!
The inside of the card is finished with more of the paper from the front, a larger punched flower and some different ribbon... easy peasy!
That's it for today's card, I'll be back on the weekend with a card for the Here Come The Boys challenge, which I also made before I left home!!  Until then, Happy Crafting (I do miss my crafting, this holiday lark can be EXHAUSTING, lol) Donna
