Shopping our Stash challenge 14 -red, ribbon and roses - 2011 365 #113

This is my attempt for the red, ribbon and roses challenge over at Shopping our Stash this week.  This is my first try at making these spiral flowers.  I always envy them on other people's projects and figured this was a good time to give them a whirl.  I think they turned out okay??  The stamp is on the card three times, but I am not sure if you can tell from the picture or not?  It turns out that Tim Holtz distress inks don't soak in to this kind of Basic Gray paper fyi...it just sits on top as if the paper is coated in wax or something...part of the reason the stamp is not so great...but what can you do?  live and learn is what the stamp should say instead of live llaugh love...so if you are not doing anything right now, come on and join us in this week's challenge...you don't need to use all three elements of the challenge...one or two will do...just come on and play!
