The Sweet Shop Sketch with a Spin Challenge - SSS44

THINK SPRING! The theme that goes with this challenge is FLOWERS. I love the sweet perfume, and vibrant blue of Hydrangeas. So for this card, I just had to make hydrangeas.




One of the things I really like to do, is to create my own embellishments. Again, I used a paper flower making technique I learned from a talented lady I met in a scrapbooking/stamping shop in Williamsburg. I made all of the tiny blue flowers that comprise each hydrangea bloom, as well as their leaves. I really love this technique! Can't you just smell the lovely hydrangeas?

Creative Ingredients:
Paper: K & Company, Stampin' Up! Sahara Sand, Blue, Black, White, Green Cardstock.
Ink: Ranger Distressing Ink - Antique Linen, VersaMark & Clear embossing powder, Colorbox - Primary, Stampin' Up Sahara Sand, Kiwi Kiss.
Stamps: Stampin' Up! Whimsical Wishes.
Tools: Spellbinders Renaissance Hearts, Punch Bunch Flowers, Leaf.
Embellishments: Stickles Glitter - Yellow.

Season's Change

Welcome back, Friends!  Come join me this week for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #78 - "Season's Change!" This week's challenge is to create a card or project using ONLY colors of Fall!   Oooh, how pretty, huh?! Our SPONSOR this week is  Magnolialicious Our lucky winner's PRIZE:  Here is my DT creation for this week's AWESOME challenge theme.... An inside view of the card, and custom envelope/box. All of the flowers on this card are handmade. I know, you're probably thinking, "oh what a lot of work!"  Actually, it really is not. I use paper punches to create the flowers and leaves. So, whenever I have very small scraps of paper I punch them with my floral punches & store them in a box for future use. It's very convenient for me to have the pieces already punched too. Then, whenever I get bored or often while I watch TV, I "form" the flowers & store them away so that they're ready when I need them. This is my box o...

A Monochromatic Floral-Shabby Twisted Sketch with Wings!

Hah! Try saying that 10 times! LOL It was so hot outside today - 97 degrees.  Ugh!  I thought I'd jump in the pool to cool off, but even the pool was too hot!  Seriously, there is such a thing... So, I spent most of the day in the comfort of our air conditioned craft room.  Here is my hot summer day creation :   I love the theme for this card, "A Monochromatic Floral-Shabby Twisted Sketch with Wings!"  which is a combination of a few different challenges Here is the inside of the card, also a pop-up, although I was not able to get a better picture...  Look at the little butterflies dangling on the twine! All of the "designer paper" for this card is hand stamped by MOI - I so rarely ever use printed designer paper because I love, love creating my own! On this card I used "Fabulous Flourishes" by Tim Holtz, "Documentary" by Prima , which were stamped in Antique Linen Distress Ink and Stampin' Up! Soft Suede .  All of the flowers are a...
