I am so happy with the finished card. The flower used is from the Mix n Match set called 'Floral Stems'. I simply had to choose which flower and which stem I wanted and viola! Here you have it.

 

I stamped in Black Brilliance ink and coloured with Prismacolor Pencils. My ovals were cut using Nestabilities Petite Ovals in small and large.

The pink cardstock is Pretty in Pink from SU and the designer paper is from Basic Grey's 6" pad called 'Lemonade'

The gorgeous sprinkles are Blossom in 6mm and 4mm, The sprinkles on the stem are Lime 3mm

Flourishes Sweet Peas

It's been a while since I've participated in the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge.
This week I have been playing a lot with this Sweet Pea set and thought "why not do it". I've coloured it with pencils, watercolour crayons and this card which is done with Twinkling H2Os. I incorparated this weeks theme which is adding a border to your card.
First I stamped  the flowers on white cardstock with Black Brilliance and embossed with clear powder.
I coloured in with several different shades of Twinkling H2Os to get more dimension in my flowers. I cut out my image using the nestabilities Labels #8.
The green cardstock has sweet pea stamped over the top half of the card with versamark ink.  I also stamped Sweet Pea in black on a scrap of white cardstock and cut out using the petite ovals.
The amethyst panel was cuttlebugged with swiss dots and then the border was punched.
The card was embellished with matching green grosgrain ribbon and mauve rhinestones.

My card is using 2 stamps, the really cute 'Emeleigh's Ride' and the sentiment  'Road trip'
I have stamped the image on white cardstock and coloured with Prismacolor pencils. The plain  green and orange coloured card is from Bazzill, the pink is purely pomegrante from SU and the designer paper is from Scribble Scrabble. This is doubled sided and I have simply utilsed both sides. The smaller green layer as been cuttlebugged with a floral border. Classic and Petite oval nestabilities were both used to cut the feature image and sentiment.

Bright and beautiful Bugs

I like this Annabelle Stamps set so much I decided to use it again this week. On my last Annabelle post I showed you the stamp set, (click HERE if you would like to see it again). Today I have used 3 different stamps from this set, they are the grass, the snail and the butterfly. The sentiment comes from the 'I can fly' set
I stamped and embossed all images and watercoloured using my Twinkling H2Os.
The designer papers I used are from Scenic Route Paper Inc abd the green is from SU. The sentiment and it's layers were all cut using nestabilities. The distressed edge was done with my Heidi Swapp distresser.
This was a very easy card to do, not a lot of colour blending but I couldn't help myself and I had to do just a little. A nice bright cheery card to make a friend smile.

Until next Time

Going Green...recycling that is

This weeks High Hopes Challenge #48 is all about recycling. I have used Elmer the Elephant for this card. I think he looks great in any colour.

Elmer has been stamped and then embossed with Black Brilliance Ink and clear powder. I have chosen to colour him with Twinkling H2O's. It's a shame the shimmer of these paints doesn't show.

He was then cut out and mounted on a 'SU chocolate chip' oval cut out using the nestabilities.The designer papers this week are from Scenic Route Paper Inc.

My recycled embellishment is actually the ring pull from a soft drink can, as you can see I made it into a buckle to thread the ribbon through.

I am having so much fun using my High Hopes Stamps.They are fabulous to colour.

Until Next Time
