More Daisies and Card Parts

I had a decent amount of stamping time this weekend. Not enough, but more than usual:) That was nice. I was able to use up a few card parts, which always makes me happy. I like when the pile is going down instead of growing!


I already had these daisies colored. I believe they are from Flourishes. I stamped them last summer at our Group Gathering. I matted with glittery green cardstock and black. I added Star Dust Stickles to the flower centers. I also added the little bow. It's hard to tell in the picture, but the top part of the background is actually slightly-patterned paper. I used the same glittery green for the bottom. I added black matting and a black strip across where the two colors met. The sentiment is from Stampendous.


This is also for the CAS-ual Friday challenge to use ribbon. You can find that challenge here.

More Flourishes Dasies

This card was done with the same stamp (Gerber Daisies from Flourishes) as the card from a few days ago.  


I colored this one with traditional daisy colors using Copic markers.  The butterfly and sentiment are from the same stamp set.  I also used a Spica glitter pen on the butterfly and the flower centers.  I matted the image panel with a textured yellow cardstock.

Cheery Birthday

Finally, a new card!  It's been almost three weeks since I have made a card.  Funny how I had a new card every day for two weeks while we were gone, and now that I'm home, I haven't had anything to share!


This is simple, but it felt nice to get something done.  The image is one I stamped at our Group Gathering in Des Moines in June.  It's from Flourishes, called Gerber Daisies.  I colored it with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  I matted with Stampin' Up! cardstock.  That's it! I will have a new card tomorrow, for the WHAT IF? Wednesday challenge from Repeat Impressions.

Valentine - Flourishes Challenge

I really love visiting the blogs of Dawn Burnworth (My Stamping Thyme) and Leslie Miller (Running With Scissors) every day.  They both design for Flourishes and do SUCH beautiful work.  I saw the Flourishes challenge was to use red, pink and white and I just had to join in.  I had made a card like this one for the Creating Everlasting Memories eBay store, but it had no pink in it. So, I made another one.

The hearts were cut with a Quickutz die set (soon to be available in the CEM store) out of Stampin' Up!'s Pink Pirouette and Real Red cardstock and also white.  The card base is Papertrey Ink's Stampers Select.  I decided to put a strip of color behind the hearts, since they were white.  I mounted the hearts on foam squares.  The sentiment is from a dollar set from JoAnn's.  

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
