The Flower Challenge #90

Hey there friends.  I'm glad you dropped by.

Can you believe April is here already?  It's a new month and time for the next The Flower Challenge.

With so many layering dies and background cover plates it should be easy to make a card with layers.  For lots of inspiration check out what the Design Team has made.  Here's my card.

I ran across a Brusho panel in my Bits box and thought it would make great crocuses.  I needed something to put them in and the teapot from Honey Bee came to the rescue.  It was cut from yellow cardstock,  inked in white with a brayer to highlight the raised portions and clear heat embossed to give it a fine china look.  The dome from Waffle Flower is embossed with the Tasteful Textiles folder from SU, layered for dimension and mounted on a Dove Gray card base.

We'd love to see your layered card in our gallery.

Freshly Made Sketches #626

Hey there friends.  I'm glad you dropped by.

My card for Freshly Make Sketches went through a couple of trials before I ended up with a finished card. 

When embossed circles didn't work out, I remembered the ancient Doily die from Catherine Pooler and used it for the circle portions of my card.  Several different flowers were auditioned before settling on The Greetery's crocuses.  They were cut from white and colored with Altenew inks.  The sentiment is from SSS.  This is nothing like my original vision but I'm happy with it.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Can You Handle the Pressure? - Easter

Just a quick post before things get busy today.  I made a lot of Easter cards and this one works well for the challenge at Can You Handle the Pressure?

The Greetery crocuses were colored with Distress Ink and placed on a circle cut with a PinkFresh Braided Circle. Another circle behind was inked in the same color and it's all on a panel using my ancient Swiss Dot embossing folder.  The sentiment is from PTI.

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great week!

Double D - Easter and NBUS #48

I've been busy making Easter cards for the homebound members of my former church and wanted to share one today that I'm sending to the Easter challenge at Double D.

The crocuses from The Greetery were cut from white and colored with Distress Inks.  They are on a panel cut from Spellbinders Elliptical Ovals that has been stamped with a sentiment from SSS, and then placed on that wonderful polka dot paper. I don't know where it came from and it was all there was left of it. 😢

Since both the crocuses and the oval are new I'm sending my card to NBUS. 

I'm so glad you dropped by.
