The Flower Challenge #87

It's time for a new challenge at The Flower Challenge and we'd like to see gold on your card along with your flowers.

I got a new hot foil plate and couldn't wait to use it for this challenge.

The plate is Pine Sprays from Spellbinders and I thought it would make a great background for the Waffle Flower poinsettias.  I cut the flowers from a panel spritzed with Peppermint Stick Mica Spray and used a scrap for the sentiment from CPD.  I added a little more gold by using embellishments from Pretty Pink Posh for the centers.   It's difficult to get a good photograph of the shimmer of the gold and mica spray.   At least you can see it a little better here. 

Where will you add gold to your card?  The Design Team would love to see one from you in the gallery.

Freshly Made Sketches #614

I love it when things fall into place.  The minute I saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches I knew I had the perfect die for it.  Then in looking through my Bits box I found just the panel to inlay in the die.

 

The circle die, cut in silver, is from Waffle Flower and an extra part was cut to fill in the bottom corner.  The circles are from a Brusho background that had been in the box for quite a while.  A heat embossed sentiment from Hero Arts was all it took to make a masculine birthday card for my stash.

I couldn't let the leftovers go to waste so I made another card.

I put the circles to the bottom without the extra portion, inlaid the silver circles and added a stamped sentiment from PTI.  It's been gloomy here so no good light to let the silver shine.

Thanks for dropping by.

Seize the Birthday #274, Triple B 11.23 and NBUS #56

I had been waiting for Honey Bee's Fall Bouquets to come back in stock and I finally got it.  I made a card that fits into Seize the Birthday and Triple B and since the dies are new it's going to NBUS too.

 

Everything was cut from  colored cardstock and the edges inked.  I had to go over the ribs on the pumpkin several times because the ink kept fading back.  The three stems in the back are from their Fall Foliage.  The background was embossed with SU's Subtle folder.   I can see making a lot more arrangements in that pumpkin.

Thanks for dropping by.  It warms my heart.

Double D - Stripes or Dots

 Double D has a Stripes and/or Dots challenge and I used both on my card.

I stamped the singer from Penny Black and colored her with Altenew artist markers.  After cutting her in an oval, she was framed in a larger oval cut from polka dot paper in my stash.  The sentiment die comes with the stamp.  I colored a scrap with the Altenew ink that matched her jacket before cutting it out.

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a good week.
