The theme of the crop is "flowers". Just use flowers, make them, use purchased ones, use paper with flowers, or whatever just as long as it has flowers.

Don't feel bad Kim, I read it that way the first time too. Said the same thing in my head, re-read it a couple of times and finally got it.

I did have fun making the steampunk card...I learned a few things or rather, it gave me fresh ideas of what I can do. And I LOVE what everyone did with theirs!!! We all took the card and made it our own. Since I wanted to make it "right now", I used stuff I had on hand because I didn't want to wait for a package to come in. I had completely forgotten that I had the screw brads and the diamond plate, although next time, I will use Rachellann's....I like it better than the diamond plate I have.

All night I was thinking of the flower theme and I still haven't got a clue what to do! Hopefully it will come to me soon. :ROFLMBO: I think I will just make the flowers and then inspiration will hit.

Hi Ladies and Gents
well last night while skyping with Sheri Corwins and Beanie I was up to list our next challenge so I chose a flower theme ok not an original idea for r theme but i think we can come up with a few Ideas. well first lets say the box was inspired from a MTC post where they had shared a like to a card by Chadknk which was a sardine can flat card, well many who know me know I don't do flat items very much so I got to thinking sardine can 3D with a pull top yep after a couple hours perfecting it so I could pull the top easily I finally had one I could like well your thinking how can a sardine can fit into a flower theme.
LOL
well have a look.

Question - can you have a gradient as a color if it is a cutting file?

you can have gradient as a color when cutting because it is cutting the image not the texture. as with gradient it would be seen as a texture it would print it that way tho.

Rachell, I am always encouraging my kids to "think outside the box". Did your mom encourage you to "think about the box?" I am always amazed by your creativity and technical skills. Your sardine can is totally awesome!

Thanks - I thought as long as it registered at 100% fill I would be okay! Thank you! I so agree with you Elizabeth!
