Hello everyone~
It’s Maki, and I’m hosting this week’s Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC116). I’m challenging you to make *a card/project for a child*. Focus your creation on something that young people (13 years and younger) would like.
Don’t have any childish images? Use what you have and add a cute and fun touch! Please read the challenge rules below for more details. Can’t wait to see your project!!

For my card, I used Enjoy the Ride for the carousel horse image and Birthday Pennants for the saying. The image was colored with Copic markers and adhered on the clouds scallop oval mat (that was sponged with Memento Summer Sky, using the big scallop mat as a template). The saying was cut out with Spellbinders Nested Lacey Pennants. After designing the card with the 3 different designer papers, the card was embellished with some flowers with button and rhinestone and ric-rac ribbon.
With a new month, we welcome a new Guest Designer! We loved having Pattie Goldman join us for the month of April and enjoyed her beautiful designs. For the month of May, we welcome Brenda O’Rear/aka Benzi as our Guest Designer! We know you’re going to love seeing her creations this month!

Check out what the Flourishes Blog Team have created to inspire you today…
Brenda O’Rear/Benzi, May Guest Designer

We had 30 entries for Silke’s Sketch Challenge from last week, and 20 comments left indicating that participants had left their comments on the design team blogs and linked their entry. Remember, to be eligible to win you must link a creation, leave comments for all the designers, and leave a comment here! Winners are chosen from the comments, not from the entries! This was a new rule instituted several months ago. So our random winner is lucky #10, Theresa P! Please email Tammy at FlourishesTTC[at]gmail[dot]comfor your prize code! Congratulations, and thanks to everyone who joined in!
Have a wonderful day!
