I colored the rose in Copic Ciao Markers twice - cut one out and popped it up with some foam tape. Actually all of this is colored with Copic's. The left panel is stamped in versamark and embossed with white embossing powder - I like how the script is very close to the back ground script behind the rose. Gray card stock is used to layer the main panel and I decided to add a white half layer to add some more dimension to it. Just a little bit different, but I think it makes the rose stamp stand out. Cranberry grosgrain ribbon is ran down the left side and I tied a seperate bow and glued it on. I really like how the rose came out colored with Copic's. It has so much depth and detail! Have a great weekend!

The small black dots are done using a 3/4 inch punch, and randomly placed on the red card stock. It reminds me of a momma lady bug carring around her babies. The sentiment is cut out using nestabilities and a window word punch.

This one is new and I did a direct to paper polished stone technique for the back ground. I did a tutorial on this a while back and you can find it
I bought the ribbon at Wal-Mart a while back and just didn't know what to do with it. It's so bright and sunny looking, but I couldn't figure out what to use it on.
I also did this card a while ago and thought I'd post it. The flower is colored with Copic Ciao markers and a pearl is adhered to it's center. I sponged on some sky blue chalk ink around the flower using an Oval as my mask. The sentiment is from The Angel Company. The designer paper is from who knows where (same with the flower stamp). I have got to do a better job of marking my stuff - it really bugs me when I can't name the manufacturer of things! The card stock is Pure Poppy from PTI and I added a grosgrain and satin ribbon to finish things off.
The image is stamped in Palette Noir and then colored with Prisma color pencils and blended with OMS. It's layered onto yellow cardstock that matches the designer paper. I stamped the sentiment and then used a window word punch to cut it out. It's attached with yellow brads. I decided that I need to start using more of my designer papers, instead of hoarding them! Not only that....but looking back at all my cards - the majority are all solid colors! ack! Time to break out of my rut!
The big bold sentiment is from the set Friendship strips and it is stamped in Palette True Black and then embossed with clear embossing powder. The flower stamp is from Petal pack and is stamped in Versamagic Spring Pansy and then also embossed. I layered this onto the purple card stock found in the Angelee paper pack. The bottom is embossed using my cuttlebug and the flower embossing border. A bow tied in a satin ribbon finishes this off.
Sentiment stamps are from the set Just Because. Ivory card stock is used for the base of the card and all dp is from the Mimi collection. I used a butterfly paper punch and punched out a few butterflies from the same paper collection and added them "flying" around the card. Nestabilities label used to cut out the label and it's popped up with foam on the card. I generally don't mix this many papers on a card, but I thought that this turned out pretty fun - all though a bit bright.
I have no idea who make this stamp!!! I'm 100% positive that I bought it at the Heirloom stamp show, it's unmounted and un-labled! Next year I'm writing down the manufacture name on the back of the stamp as I buy them!
This one was done for the CAS challenge - it was an inspiration one and you can find the link
I just got this ship collage stamp (from TAC) when they had their half price sale on T coded stamps. I've always wanted it, but just never bought it for some reason.
I stamped it in burnt umber, then used some chalk to color it in. I distressed the edges and layered both panels with some dark brown card stock. The light brown card stock is paper pierced in the corners, and I added some eyelets to thread the leather rope through. I really wanted to use some "rope" like substance, but didn't have anything in my stash that worked. Hope everyone has a great week!
This card is actually a note card, measuring 4.75 x 3.75. 

The daisy is colored with a clear glaze gel pen - which gives it a bit of shine. I stamped it again and cut it out and used dimensionals to pop it up on the card. The side border is done with versamark and clear embossing powder. I was going for a crisp, clean and spring card, since the sun has decided to shine the last few days - it put me in the mood for some spring flowers.
I did a bit of two step stamping on this card. The set is from The Angel Company called Rose Garden. The roses are stamped in Memories chalk ink in angelic pink and cloudy coral. The leaves are stamped in Palette jardin moss. I stamped it off once to achieve the lighter look.
Circle Nestabilities are used to cut out the roses and the pink cs is from DCWV. Bazzill dark green card stock was used for the layering of the leaves boarder and the solid stripe down the left side.
The trio flower stamp is inked with markers and stamped twice. The sentiment is stamped in Palette True Black (Papertrey ink sells this and it's wonderful!) I added some self adhesive pearls to the center of the flowers and then tied a bow at the top using pansy colored grosgrain ribbon. The stamps are from Great Impressions.
