Thinking of You Fabulous Florets

Yes, its another sponged Fabulous Florets card.  I was going to use one of my Red Hot Stampers' cards for a stamp a stack that I have tonight and couldn't find it.  I must have given it away and don't remember.  That seems to be my life a lot lately...I don't remember! lol  Anyway, it was one similar to this card, but I did make a few changes to it. :)

On another note, congratulations to Monica C. for winning as my mystery hostess!  I didn't have a lot of orders, but did get enough to give away $25.  :)  I have to start building from somewhere, and if I don't try I won't go anywhere. So here's to a little more success each day.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Here's yet another version of a card I made a couple of months ago.  I didn't want just black and white, or just pinks like I used on my other cards so I did gray and pink.  I was actually trying to use my two-tone pink pirouette/rose red ribbon, but ended up liking the gray better.  Changes seem to happen to me a lot when I'm making cards. lol

Yellow & Green Fabulous Florets

Since I'm having another stamp a stack that my cousin is hosting I thought I'd better get busy planning some cards and that means it's time to look at some sketch challenges. :)  I really loved the Fabulous Florets that I sponged in my previous post and decided to use those same flowers in the same way, but put them into the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch.  I also wanted to sponge a color combo on the flowers that I haven't done before.  That's when I saw both the Stampin' Celebration and Paper Players challenges.  Stampin' Celebration is all about greens and yellows and the Paper Players lets us play tic-tac-toe.  Of course I chose the green and yellow, then went with the spring and pearls.  After all this work I'm not so sure I'll be doing this as a stamp one of the stamp a stack cards, but I sure enjoyed making it! lol

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Another Fabulous Florets

He is Risen!  Happy Easter Everyone!  

Since it's Sunday that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge.  I thought about making a few lilies to put on my card since it's Easter, then changed my mind when I remembered how much work they are!  Instead I fell back on one of my trusted flower stamp sets and embossed the flowers in baja breeze and pool party.  What you can't see very well in the picture is the flecks of certainly celery that I have  spritzed on the card, but that's the way the picture turns out sometimes. lol  Don't forget to check out the other cards using this same sketch here over at the Red Hot Stampers blog.  If you're feeling adventurous why not give the sketch a try.  It was nice and simple this week. :)

Sparkling Swallowtails

Today I have a couple of cards to show you...one for my niece, the other for my upline.  I have to say I love this stamp!  It seems like there's so many different colors I can use with it. :)  

This first card is for my niece's birthday.  I know she loves yellow, but I needed to add a bit more color so I used Primrose Petals and Pretty in Pink.  First I inked the whole image in VersaMark, then sponged on the other colors.  After I stamped my image I covered it with Heat & Stick powder, then used the heat gun.  After that I poured Dazzling Diamonds all over it and used the heat gun again.  If you want lots of sparkle that's the way to do it!

Since I really liked my niece's card I thought I'd do another one using all of the 2012-2014 In Colors.  I made this as a thank you for my upline.  Whenever I need to borrow any of her stampin' stuff for my stamp a stacks she's more than willing to share...even at the last minute. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
