You Mean So Much To Me

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!!

Over at the The Paper Players, they have a fun sketch challenge:

My go to color when coloring flowers seems to almost always be some shade of pink, so I decided

I need to switch things up a bit.

So for this card I pulled out a pallet of purples.

I used Purple Posy for my card base and Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape for my flowers.

 

The flowers are from the Stampin Up Sale A Bration set called Happy Birthday To You.

I stamped the cake image several times with black stazon onto thick Whisper White card stock.

I colored with my Aqua Painter and ink pads.

I used some Daffodil Delight in the center of the flowers and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves.

I then fussy cut out all the flower images I needed for my card front.

I used two Rectangle Stitched Dies to make my white frame that I added to the Purple Posy card base with dimensionals.

I hen added my flowers to the card with dimensionals as well.

My sentiment comes from the Forever Blossoms stamp set.

I stamped with Black Memento ink onto a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock.

 

I finished with a few rhinestones from the Noble Peacock pack and then added a small twine wrap with a bow around the side of the white frame.

 I pulled this twine from a piece of Burlap ribbon. 

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this project.

Hello Peeps!!!

So sorry for the long silence here on the ol' blog.

I have had a hard time getting back to my craft table after the holidays.

 I could give you a million and one reasons but in the end I guess I just needed the break.

Anyway I pulled out this amazing set from the Occasions catalog called Forever Blossoms.

It is so pretty, don't you think?

I also am using the sketch at  

Freshly Made Sketches:

I began by stamping the image onto thick Whisper White card stock with Black Stazon ink.

I colored with my Aqua Painter and ink pads.

I used Poppy Parade and Old Olive inks.

 I used the matching dies to cut it out.

 

A couple of other new iems on this card are the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder.

I love it!

I hand cut the partial circle and then embossed. I matted that piece with some Basic Black card stock.

The sentiment on here is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

I samped with Versamark onto Basic Black and embossed with White Embossing Powder.

I cu out the strip and used the Tailored Tag punch to flag the end.

The floral cut out piece is added to the card with dimensionals 

and the sentiment strip is tucked under the stem of the flower.

I went back in with my white gel pen and highlighted the centers of the flowers a bit.

 

I added a few basic rhinestones and some white twine wrapped around my sentiment strip and added a small bow as well.

isted below are all the "ingredients" used to make this project.
