DCM Supersize Me!!

Back again as promised.........I've been itching to join in with the dare over at DCM this week.....it's been set by the super talented Lythan my team mate on Funky Hand!

SUPERSIZE ME!
Lythan wants to see super size embellies on our cards this week, and extra points for using large blooms!..................these were the largest i have!................

I've had these large Prima flowers for ages and although i do use them ocasionally, they are so big that they sort of 'take over' the card! However this dare was perfect because that is the general idea :)

The gorgeous paper panel at the bottom of my design is from the Bo Bunny 'Love Shack' collection which was obtained! with a recent purchase from what i think must be my favourite online store 'Craft Obsessions' I just cannot help myself when confronted with such yummy papers i have to have them :) although by now i have enough 12 x 12's to start my own shop!!!

The 'stem' is some American Crafts ric-rac, and i've used a jumbo brad and rub-on from HOTP for the centre of my flower and a couple of little punched butterflies and some doodling to finish!

I would really like to take part in one or two more challenges this week..............have to see how it goes, thanks for popping in again today......see you soon ;-D
