Hello and welcome.  Today begins another challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Varada Sharma.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship and for providing images for the design team to use.  My card today is featuring the set Pretty Little Tulips.

I started out by printing the vase three times and the tulip flowers five times before coloring them using both prismacolor and copic markers the fussy cutting everything out.  I then took a trimmed Hammermill white panel and stippled my background using a retired Picket Fence Studios brick wall 6x6 stencil and my blending brushes using some fired brick distress ink before adhering the vase and two of the colored tulip spray before cutting apart a third tulip spray to add additional pieces throughout my vase bouquet.  I then took a dusty Martha Stewart punch and created the thank you saying then adhering it to the vase.  The final touches were a small bow and then adding some Meraki Sparkle Midnight Illusion bling.  The final two floral sprays and vases were used to make two additional cards.

Here is another card made using the same image, and layout, a little differently.

Clean And Simple Jar Vase

 

Hello and welcome.  I'd like to share with you a card using a digital stamp I recently bought and haven't done anything with.  I originally did the coloring while my husband watched the news end of December, it just took until now to complete them.  I've been sick and just have not had the energy to do much of anything.

First up is a cute little clean and simple card using the bottle bouquet from Sweet N Sassy Stamps.  After printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using Castle Arts pencils before highlighting parts of the image using 3D glaze pens.  I then stamped the saying from Sweet N Sassy script sentiments set, I received as a gift, in memento tuxedo black ink then highlighted it using a black 3D glaze pen.  The final touch were some blue sequins from a retired Picket Fence Studios sequin mix called Spiked Ocean Water.  Done! I'm really happy with how this one turned out considering how I've been feeling.
