Just Us Girls Challenge #24

Happy Saturday everyone :]  Today is week #24 over at Just Us Girls and Pam is hosting an easy, fun technique challenge!  The only requirement is to make a "Flap Card"!  Simple, right?  Or are you raising an eyebrow wondering what the heck a Flap Card is?!  Check out the simple SCS tutorial to see what the hype is all about! 

Here's my take on the challenge:

I believe this is my first true "Flap Card" and as soon as I saw the sample card, I thought flower!!  Cut file to be exact.  I used one of the flowers from the My Time Made Easy Fanciful Flowers Pretty Pieces cut file collection.  In SCAL, I welded it to a simple rectangle until is was 1/4 inch over the recommended length.  I then cut 6 flowers in decreasing sizes from some gorgeous Cosmo Cricket paper. 

I crumpled the flowers and distressed the edges using Tim Holtz' Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I stitched the button right to the 6 layers of paper :]  Added some flourishes and sentiments...some STRONG magnets (that almost ripped my card!!) and I was pretty much done.  Clean, easy, simple, yet bold.  I love the end result :]
