This is one of my favorite stamps for Spring, an older one by PSX.

I colored it in Prismacolor pencils and tried to keep the rest of the card

free of additional ribbons and embellishments to focus on the main image.

Let me know what you think!

 

I've been hung up lately on Amethyst and Bashful Blue, I like it for Spring.

The smaller flowers were a happy accident, I had forgotten to clean the pink

off of the flower stamp and they stamped a variegated blue/lilac. Dazzling

Diamonds are on popped up butterfly and square Ice rhinestone brads used for

 accents. Floral background stamp and Amethyst designer prints paper also used.

 

Super simple, this took about 10-15 minutes.

I used a standard A2 sealed envelope and

made handle using large tag punch. Watercolor Joy

wheel in Bashful Blue, Summer Picnic paper, blue

taffeta ribbon, and SU watercolor pencils to color chick.

 

More of the new Summer Picnic designer paper coming

shortly in the Occasions mini. I cut the flowers out of one

side and the blue pin dot on the bottom from the other.

The stems are the new Olive polytwill ribbon and the top

was done with the new Lots Of Dots jumbo wheel. Cool stuff!

 

I used the Designer Prints paper with the retired pink

paper from last season. Pretties Kit pearls and piercing as

accents. This is really Almost Amethyst but it photographed

more blue. Very Springy in real life! I'm seriously considering

purchasing a light tent to be able to get better lighting on my photos.

 

I love my new Forever Flowers wheel, I used it on the background also.

River Rock, Basic Black, and Whisper White cardstock with a touch of Guava & Ruby.

Sentiment from All Holidays, colored with Copic markers.

Fire rhinestones used on Martha Stewart punch flowers.

I cut a piece of paper 9" square and scored at 3" on all sides.

Cut two sides in to center to form basket. Handle is 11" long by 2 1/2".

The red eyelets and ribbon secure the handles.

 

This card uses a combination of the Elzybells Holding Hands

stamp with the SU Quick & Cute set for the hats, dog, and grass.

Paper is Basic Grey Two Scoops and Spring stack from Joann's.

 

 

 

This card uses the retired SU paper from last year and the set Bunny Hugs.

I colored the bunny and ran him/her through the Xyron for adhesive then

coated with clear microbeads and Dazzling Diamonds for a sugary coating.

 

 

The paper is double sided and embossed from Best Creations.

The stamps are from My Sentiments Exactly. I lifted the layout

from Mary Jo Albright.

 

I used an old egg dipper for my embellishment

and stamped the cute sentiment inside the dipper.

(You can tell I never throw anything away).

Colored the eggshells in Prismacolor pencils and

cut out and mounted on dimensionals.

 

 

 

For Saturday's Inspiration challenge found here:

 

Using the new Live Your Dream set I made a wreath of the flower stamp

and cut out a circle in center using my Creative Memories circle template.

I hand lettered the x's and o's around the border and used my new Twill

background stamp in pink. This is a very simple one layer with no embellishments

card.

 

 

 

This is an older Sellabration set- Noteworthy. I made a glitter

window out of the smaller image using a piece of Close To My

Heart adhesive and Dazzling Diamonds, square cut on outside of cardstock,

(glittered image is on the card inside). The wreath and sentiment were embossed

in white. Fine Lace used for background.

 

I used the new Berry Bliss paper and Friendship Blooms

here for a quick 10 minute card. It looks much prettier in

real life, each panel is up on dimensionals so there is a lot

more depth here than the picture shows. Pomegranate

cardstock and inks were used.

 

For today's challenge on SCS to make a pouch out of an envelope.

I came across a blue envelope that reminded me of water and the

idea blossomed from there. Fish stamp by Anita's, Seaweeds by Visual

Image Printery, Polka Dots from SU A Good Egg. Filled the pouch with

goldfish.

 

 

 

For today's SCS featured stamper challenge.

 

All new products coming in the March Occasions mini!

The paper is Afternoon Tea, reminds me of a great aunt

or grandmother's wallpaper. The Twill background stamp

is a must have with these papers, (used this on the card

base in Close To Cocoa). I basically chose the cardstock

and ink colors that were in the striped floral piece of paper.

 

  

The stamp set is Always, the twill paper Afternoon Tea is coming in

the Occasions mini in March. I stamped the bird in blue and then the

chocolate flower and cut out for the corner bloom. Build A Brads were

used for embellishments and the new ribbon slide with taffeta ribbon.

 

I made the fence out of white stamped in Bordering Blue

with the Weathered background, tag punch for top. Wood

craft sign stamped and decorated with Three For You Punch

flowers. Chicks were cut out and popped up on dimensionals.

The "grass" was made with Bali Breeze paper run through my

quilling fringer. Hope you like this card, it made me smile.
