I stumbled upon a blog hop contest last night for SRM stickers. The prize is a kit of products from Cosmo Cricket's DeLovely line, which I've been admiring for awhile, and a selection of SRM stickers, which I'd never heard of before. The stickers look wonderful! So, I decided to follow along the blog hop, "following" and commenting on some really great inspiring blogs. The second part of the contest is a card sketch from Jenyfur at torn-paper.blogspot.com, and here is my entry:
I used only things I received in my Zany Zinnia June feminine kit, including packaging of materials and the kit itself. The hemp string is from a Jenni Bowlin tape tag, the horizontal strip is from a Prima packaging of flowers, the handmade flower uses a circle punched from the paper bag that held my kit (printed with vintage newspaper ads) and several circles from the green tissue paper that wrapped my kit, too. the sentiment is a little word cut from one of the patterned papers in the kit (the backside of that dotted paper, actually). The three little flowers are cut from another sheet of patterned paper in the kit, as is the vertical strip of paper. I inked the edges in black colorbox ink. The bubble in the center of my flower is from the Prima pack that was in my kit, too. I love this card, and the photo doesn't do it justice.

*Edit: I didn't win. The card that won is fantastic! You should go take a look at the SRM sticker blog. I did gain a new card sketch that I love and can see myself using many times. I also had the excuse to break into my Zany Zinnia kit. I have this thing about putting off using kits for as long as I can torture myself, lol. It's still so new, I say. In fact, I still have the Scarlet Lime December kit I haven't used yet. I opened it up and played with it, used the fabric and a couple of embellishments from it to make a flower embellishment, then I played with the glimmer mist and some tissue paper and made a rosette embellishment. Then I put it all back in the bag. except for the stamp and glimmer mist. Their homes are elsewhere.
