I'm Late, but I'm here!!

So much for being prepared way ahead of time. I seriously had this month's project completed two weeks ago and thought I had plenty of time to get my post up. I'm still feeling a bit behind from being away all last week. I swear I thought the 6th was still 2 days away. I was sitting in the middle of my son's basketball game and had a rush of panic wash over me, knowing I was forgetting something.
Anyway, I'm here, finally, with this month's Limelight monthly challenge. Our theme this month was handmade flowers. They are HOT right now and I love that there are so many ways to make pretty, easy, and affordable flower embellishments. Here's what I did.

I used some punched, gorgeous Oct. Afternoon dp, Basic grey buttons, faux suede ribbon, and brown burlap thread to make these flowers. I think it took me all of about 20 minutes to put them together. Each of the paper flowers have 6 punched out layers, and I stitched the ribbon flowers like I did here.

I also made a birthday card to match and put one of my flowers on it. I love how this turned out. I used the awesome new birthday set from Unity,It's Your Day, along with many of the same elements I used to create the flowers. The cake was colored with copics. I'm off to see what the rest of the DT did with their handmade flower challenge.
