Just For You

Good Monday Morning Peeps!

I am still playing around with my Sunny Garden papers. Just love them and since they will be gone in less than a month I thought I would make another card with them. I also LOVE this flower from the Stampin' Up Flower Fest stamp set. This stamp set is from the Summer Mini Catalog, I love the Mary Engelbreit fell that these flowers have.  "Bloom where you are Planted" a favorite Mary quote.

The base of the card is Poppy Parade card stock and then I followed that with some whisper white card stock. I then used a couple of patterns from the Sunny Garden paper pack for the layers. I cut a circle and embossed it with the square lattice EF and then added the main panel.

The sentiment comes from the Level 1 Hostess set called "Afterthoughts" another retiring set. I love the font on this particular stamp. 

I added some poppy parade ribbon and a couple of basic pearls for my embellishments.

Another fave Mary quote:

"Life is just a chair of bowlies"

Well, that is all from me today, I have new goodies due to arrive today and I am so excited to get my hands on the new catalog!!! I will have some sneak peeks for you this month and I have to get crackin' on my first Control Freaks Swap cards, I am so excited and a bit nervous about that!!

If you don't have a demo and would like to get a new catalog as soon as they are available just shoot me an e-mail and I can get you on my list!

HAPPY STAMPING!!

Color Challenge....Just for you

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made with the color challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers. The colors this week are, pear pizazz, so saffron, and pretty in pink.

I decided to do some water coloring for this card, I had just replenished my stock of watercolor paper, I had been out for a few days, and we just can't have that, because I LOVE to water color.

I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin' Up Growing Green stamp set with black stazon onto the water color paper. I colored it in with my aqua painter and pear pizazz ink, darkening the color at the base of each leaf. I then stamped two of the flowers from the same set onto more watercolor paper and colored these with pretty in pink and so saffron. I did add a bit of regal rose to darken the pink flower some. I used an bit of pear for the center of the so saffron flower. The flowers are added to the base of the leaf branch with some dimensionals.





I made the base of this card with pear pizazz card stock, it is a 5 inch square. The DSP on here comes from the greenhouse gala and the play date paper packs. I messed around with the bow for a long time, trying to get it where it didn't intrude onto the image piece so much, and finally decided on this half bow with long tails because the two sided bow just was to big. I added some basic pearls in the corners and called it done.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!!
