we're getting in shape...

...at shopping our stash. but don't worry, there will be no painful exercises required, we'd just like to see you make an awesome shaped card! doesn't that sound like fun? well, it's more fun than calisthenics, anyway! :) :) :)

patterned paper: glitz design; dimensional flower (formerly a pin; acquired at a garage sale); fabric flower and leaf layers: basic grey... i can't believe they're getting out of papercrafting... that's really a bummer!!!; glossy white cardstock: paper accents; ink: colorbox; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape, 3m foam tape, gluedots, sewing machine 

i made a flower-shaped card, and i freely admit that i did so mostly so i could break out the cool blue dimensional flower with the rhinestone gems on it. i got that months and months ago at a garage sale and i've been dying to use it on something ever since. it originally had a pin back thingie on it, which i removed so i could mount it to the card front a little more securely. i had imagined this card having a few more layers than it wound up with... but everything else i put on just seemed to "compete" with the flower rather than enhance it, so finally i gave up and went with what you see here.

there are lots more fun and inspiring shaped cards at SOS, won't you hop over and enjoy those now?!
