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:

Real Flowers

A pink floral card using flowers stamped onto real pressed flowers (on watercolor paper) then die cut.

For the Inspiration Challenge, we’re visiting Dans le Lakehouse & Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture.

My pink floral card started w/ a piece of watercolor paper I had run thru the die cut machine to press real flowers into the paper. I did this a year or so ago so I don’t remember which flowers I used but they had such lovely pinks & purples. I stamped the petunias directly onto this then die cut them. For the leaves, I used a couple of green watercolor pencils & a water brush.

The large offset circle is a new die & I cut the striped paper w/ the larger section & plain pink w/ the smaller one. The colors in my flowers went really well w/ the lovely floral paper in the background. I stamped the greeting directly onto the striped section.

The petunias & split circle were both popped up just a bit.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hibiscus Hugs

A card w/ lovely big blooms & a fab new die set for the layers. I also show how to change a previously pink flower into a red flower.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC904) & I chose Playing Card Decks & their Pinterest Board. I was thinking..hmm April Fool’s Day which led me to Joker which led me to Playing Cards & here we are. I selected THIS pretty deck as my inspiration. It’s a poppy but it reminded me of this pretty new floral set which may or may not be a hibiscus but it looks like one from above & that’s my story & I’m sticking to it.

Originally I had colored this in pinks but I went back in & added some reds to change it up. (You can see the original pink color in the Copics pic below.) I die cut 2 white layers & backed them w/ peach layers. The hibiscus was fussy cut & it and the top layer were popped up a bit.

It’s an easy card since I let the layers do all the work.

Here are the Copics I used:
