Here's my entry for Tim Holtz's Tattered Floral challenge and the numbers challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show. I used lots of my favorite stamps, stencils and inks, and cut 40 flowers using the smallest of the four flowers on the die:
My Tonic pick is a great piercer for adding the brads:
I used an Idea-ology clock, gears, and spinners, along with trinket pins and Glossy Accents to seal in some tiny JB stickers:
Three of Tim's funky keys worked for my tail:
Another peek at the flowers:
And the main body of the kite:
I was in the mood for kites and warm weather because it's been a long winter and I'm ready for Spring. Schools are closed today because 6-10" more snow is forecast. Here's my view at the moment:
Hope you are safe and warm, wherever you are. Thanks for the visit!
Marjie
PS -- News and a huge giveaway coming very soon!
Love this floral kite. Who wouldn't want to fly this baby it's so cheery. A foot of snow on the ground, I laughed when I heard on the news that now we will have daylight savings time and we can begin to till the garden, - I think they should go fly your kite! xox

Beautiful piece. Sorry about the snow, it's quite nice here just now, but we have arctic winds and snow on the way, too! Valerie

What a great kite! Love that background, so cool and those flowers add that really pretty touch! Wow! It is cold here and although we have no snow, some of the freeways and roads are covered! Very cold! Stay in and just play! Hugs!

Incredibly creative idea from you Marjie!
Beautiful use of the flowers and I love all the details you added such as the keys and use of Memo Pins.
What a beautiful snowy landscape (to look at, not so sure I would want to be traipsing through it!)
Wishes

This is awesome, Marjie! Love the background of the kite and those flowers look amazing. The clock, gears and spinners make a such a funky stack. When I read the sentiment I laughed out loud...so fun. Even the kite tail is detailed and extends the theme. Love it!
