Orange Poppy

Hi everyone! I got out the water colors yesterday and played around a bit and finished this piece.

I got the water color set at Michael's - it was located on an end cap and advertised for $3.00 - Bargain! Anyway, that is what I used to color in the poppy. Stamp is from the set Charming Gardeners from A*Muse Studio. Sentiment stamp is from Verve.

The blue cardstock is from Hot Off The Press and I embossed it using the linen embossing plate from PTI. Yellow designer paper is from Making Memories. Light blue satin ribbon is from TAC. I used a few self adhesive black rhinestones for the center of the flower, they're from Kaisercraft.

Whatcha think? I think I need more practice at water coloring!

Love you

Hey there! I completed another challenge for the PTI 5th Anniversary! Today the challenge was to incorporate hearts into your design. Here's what I came up with.


I cut the hearts out using pure poppy felt and the tiny tag die. The bakers twine was laced through the holes and attached to the back of the white cardstock.

The Swiss dot embossing folder was used to create the back ground. I left a space for the sentiment and then scored two lines to enhance the white space. Sentiment is from the simple sentiments set.

All supplies from Papertrey, Ink.

• Pure Poppy cardstock
• Stampers white cardstock
• Sentiment
• heart die (from tiny tags)
  
• Pure Poppy felt
• Bakers twine

Thanks for stopping by! What do you think of this CAS Valentine?

Wishing you a happy birthday

Hello! I had an opportunity today to put together a card for the Papertrey, Ink 5th anniversary celebration card sketch. Here is the sketch I used.
Here is what I did with it!


Stamps are from the set Wishing you and stamped in Studio G chalk ink. Sentiment is also from the set and I used jet black archival ink to stamp it over the flower stems.

I embossed the cardstock with a rectangle nestie prior to stamping the images. Bazzill light green cardstock used to layer. The grosgrain ribbon is spring green from Ribbons and Bows Oh My. Lastly, the light yellow buttons are from American Crafts.

Hoping this gets randomly picked for a prize package!!!! My finger and toes are crossed for good luck!

Hello...

Hi everyone! I just got in my stamps from the new A*Muse Studio catty! Had a lot of fun playing around with the set Marvelous Marigolds.

I combined a lot of different dies for this card too. The flower die is from Papertrey, Ink and the tessatina border is from Memory box and cut out of light green Bazzill cardstock.

I stamped the marigold in colorbox canary pigment ink. Added a few self adhesive pearls from Kaisercraft for the center of the flower that you could see. The hello sentiment is from TAC.

Designer paper is from PTI and so is the kraft cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by! Let me know what you think of this one. I used this weeks SCS sketch, BTW.

Wishing you

Hi everyone! I had an opportunity to take a few minutes today and play around with this weeks sketch over at SCS. Here's what I came up with.

Stamps are from the Papertrey, Ink set called Wishing you. I stamped the tulips in Studio G white ink and then heat embossed it. It's tucked under that green striped designer paper from HOTP. I found some green card stock in my stash that matched the darker green in the dp and cut out the rectangle using the lattice spellbinders nesties.

Edge punch is from EK success and lastly I added a strip of spring green grosgrain ribbon!

I like the clean lines of this! What do you think?
