Today's featured set is another beautiful, and versatile, floral for your collection, so I have two samples for you.

 

My first sample uses the large gladiola stem, butterfly and saying stamped in memento black onto MFP white card stock and colored with prismacolor markers with Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink stippled around them then layered onto scrap Stampin Up! card stock.  My background is stamped in regal rose ink directly onto the card itself using the same large gladiola stem.  The only embellishments added are some moss brads I've had in my stash for years and diamond ice stickles to keep the card clean and simple.

 

For my second card, I wanted to continue using as much of the scrap card stock on my stamp desk as possible, so I continued with a similar color combination.  After stamping the bold block image in memento black and coloring with prismacolor markers, I layered the image onto more scrap card stock before adding some Making Memories white baby brads.  The background of the card is again stamped using the large gladiola stem stamped directly onto the card, however this time in blushing bride ink, then with the sentiment over stamped directly onto the background before adding a small ribbon knot and ice stickles.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs for a chance to win today's featured set.

For my project today, I stamped all of my the images I was using from Spring Things in memento tuxedo black onto MFP white card stock before coloring with prismacolor markers.  Once all my coloring was finished, I cut out both sets of tulips, bunnies, and butterflies to pop up later and then stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges before layering onto scarlett and black linen card stock.  After I was finished layering, I popped up the first layer of cut out images before popping up the second layer on top of those for some added dimension.

 

Here's a close up of the card from the side.  The final touches was adding a few birds from Scenic Selections and then highlighting the tulips and butterfly with diamond ice stickles.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.

Today's project features some Webster's Pages Country Estate designer paper along with our featured stamp set Garden Bunny.  After stamping all of my images in memento tuxedo black onto corn husk paper and coloring with prismacolor markers, I cut out the veggies so they could be adhered along the center border.  Once the bunny was colored and layered, I popped him up using some pop dots before adding faux brads and some olive organdy ribbon from my stash.

St. Patty's Day Clovers

Second post for me today. If you're looking for my Hero Arts post, please scroll down one. Thanks

I'm trying to get back into the swing of stamping and participating in challenges since my latest migraine flare up had me down for over 3 weeks and I was unable to literally do nothing since it sat right behind my eyes. The head and eyes are still sore, however, not pounding so they're tolerable at the moment.

I decided to make a quick and easy St. Patty's Day card for a few challenges and use up some scrap card stock at the same time. After stamping my clover image from the Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company set called Lots of Luck in memento tuxedo black, I pulled out my prismacolor markers and colored them with using the emerald marker. Once the coloring was finished, I just stamped my saying in upper left hand corner and the card was finished. For the envelope, I stamped the clover just once and colored it using koh-i-noor pencils and a blender marker for a slightly different look.

Spring Bird

Hello and welcome to the weekend.  Today I am sharing a card I made for a couple of challenges using a Hero Arts cling stamp that has been collecting dust.  I love this type of collage stamp because they are so easy to work with.

After stamping the image in memento tuxedo black onto white card, I colored only the flowers, bird and circle before lightly stippling some Tim Holtz brushed corduroy distress ink.  Once I was done with all of my coloring and stippling, I layered the image onto some Stampin Up! scrap card stock before adding some faux brads, punched butterflies, and ice stickles.

Hello Little Racoon

Hello and happy hump day!  Today I am sharing a sneak peek of a new set being released next week by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company called News From The Woods. I am going to love using this set!  One it's easy for masculine cards and for quick cards as well.

I stamped the birch trees in memento black then over stamped the peeking raccoon onto one of the birch trees before stamping it again onto a piece of white scrap paper then coloring.  Then I stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges before layering and adding black baby brads.  For the card background, I repeatedly stamped the birch trees in Stampin Up! basic grey directly onto the same color card stock then stippled the ink around the edges of the card.  Once that was done, I added my cut out raccoon, popped up on a dimensional, and a layered saying so it would stand out a bit.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget the blog hop next week for Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company next week starting on Tuesday.

Celebrate New Life Swap

Hello and welcome. Today I am sharing a card I made for the March Spring swap over on SpeedyTV.

After stamping my main image from the soon to be released Easter Scenes in memento tuxedo black ink onto white card stock then coloring with prismacolor markers, I stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges before layering using scrap Stampin Up! card stock and white baby brads.  Then I stamped my own background directly on the card with Stampin Up! blushing bride ink using a soon to be released set called Spring Things.  Once my background was stamped, I then over-stamped the saying in memento tuxedo black.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Bird Collage

Hello and welcome.  Sorry for the lapse between posts, I have been having some major trouble with my migraines lately.

I finally decided to ink up and use some Hero Arts stamps I've had collecting dust and desperately needing to see some ink.  After stamping the bird collage in memento ink and coloring with prismacolor markers, I started stippling various Tim Holtz distress inks around it to age and soften the colored image.  Once my coloring and stippling was finished and layered, I stamped some additional Hero Arts images on scrap paper before punching out butterflies and cutting out the flower to add as embellies.  The only other embellishments added were some pearl stickers, die cut flourishes, and hand drawn flight "trails" using a black marker.
