  • Stripes & Hydrangeas

    A birthday card featuring a two layer hydrangea w/ a watercolor look (no coloring required!) & a diagonal stripe card cover die. Change up the colors & greeting for any occasion.

    The Inspiration Challenge this week is a place called Heirloomed & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS pic for my inspiration. I liked the stripes w/ the flowers.

    I did cut the diagonal stripe cover die out of black & had a large white panel to go behind it. The hydrangeas are multi part images, w/ an outline part & solid part for the color. I used a couple of pinks & blues for one set & pinks & yellow for the other, then die cut them. I added stickles to the flowers then arranged them on top & inside the diagonal stripes. I thought it needed a little more color, so I added some blue behind a few on the bottom and some lt green behind a couple on the top.

    The greeting was die cut & I used a pink marker to outline the edge.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Love Birds

    A card for that pair of love birds on your list..perfect for wedding, anniversary or engagement. Features some beautiful new die cuts & high contrast color combo. Change up the colors to match those special occasions.

    A big congrats to Andastra, the newest Featured Stamper (FS853)! She has such gorgeous pages & I chose THIS page to case. I love the rectangular photo as the main element so I kept that & the flower embellishments. But I turned it into a card & used different dies & colors. I wanted the horizontal element but couldn’t work it in so I subbed the layered Love greeting.

    My card features all die cut elements. I die cut the lg royal blue panel & smaller white panel w/ the square hole edge die set. I used a bright orange for the bird cage & Love dies. Only the flowers/leaves were used behind the birdcage panel. I love how open they are & let the blue show through.

    The blue birds & cage were popped up just a bit as well as the white panel they’re on & the Love greeting.

    Thanks

  • Colorful Day

    A bright card filled w/ colorful fuchsia daisies in a vellum vase. Perfect for a birthday, a special friend’s special day, Mother’s Day.

    We’re visiting PMG for Two & their Pinterest Board for the Inspiration Challenge this week. So many pretty things there..I chose THIS for the very bright, colorful flowers.

    I used 2 different sets of flowers for my fuchsia daisies. After coloring & die cutting them I added a sheet of very thin double sided adhesive to a small piece of lt blue vellum & die cut it. The centers of one set of flowers were too dark so I stamped & fussy cut the bigger centers from the other set & attached them on top. I arranged them then attached the vellum vase on top.

    I had a narrowish strip of designer paper that had the colors I wanted so I used it on the left side & attached it on top of a bigger fuchsia panel. The greeting was stamped onto a white circle & added above the flowers.

    Here are the Copics I used for the flowers:
