Simple card one stamp and saying??

This is a card I did with just one flower stamp and one saying.I stamped the saying on the card and then stamped the flowers on the cards in a random way as to fill the whole card. I used a momemnto flannel grey ink to give a soft look to the flowers. I colored them with Copic markers in soft muted colors.The stamps are from JustRite stampers ( Botanical Medallions and Banners).This was a stretch for me. I love how it turned out. This card is being entered in Mod Squads challenge blog DYI challenge to make your own designer paper or back ground paper. Be sure to stop over and see all of the wonderful cards the other  talented paper crafter's cards.
  Thanks for stopping in and seeing what I have made today.

Spring purse card ready for Easter

I am still coloring flowers trying to get in the spring mood here. I had some purse cards setting around and I decided to use them as my card base. I embossed the bottom of the purse with a sizzix embossing folder. I then stamped my flowers on a circle of water color paper and one all by it self that I will cut out. I used water color pencils to color them. I cut out the one flower I had stamped on it's own. I die cut a doily from some pastel paper. I layered the doily,flower circle and then the single flower( with a pop dot) on the front of the purse flap.I added some sheer ribbon for the handle and I ended up with a very spring looking purse card. I did 3 different colors just for fun. I can not decide which one I like best.
   I thinks this will be a nice spring card to enter over on Mod Squads challenge blog think spring challenge.
Pop over and check out all of the fun cards the other paper designers have done and maybe add one of your own to the mix.

Pretty pink roses

Well I am longing for spring like many of you out there. I pulled out some flower stamps to get me in a better mood.Pink makes me think of spring and all the things that spring brings like Easter,Weddings, first communions,Proms.
  This card is a pretty pop of pink with the roses colored with water color pencils on water color paper. I did a little masking with the rose stamp to pull the flowers into a tighter arrangement. I matted them with a pretty spellbinders pink mat and then to give it an even softer pink look I attached it to a soft pink gingham paper.
  The stamp I used is a rose from Raisin Boats Blissfull Blossoms
   Pull out some of your flower stamps and play it will hopefully give you some joy and hope that spring is coming.

Oval poppies card

I like to do several cards when I get out a stamp set and this is one I did with the poppy stamp from Raisin Boats stamp set Blissful Blossom's #10237. I did this on water color paper and used water color pencils. I  corner rounded the mats and the card to help pull out the long oval shape I stamped the poppies on.
  This is another card for Mod Squads Flower challenge. Same papers changed up with a different layout and design from the other card I did for this challenge.
  Thanks again for stopping in.

Hexagon and flowers 2 challenges in one card

O.K. this is a combo of challenges one being for Moxie Fab's Hexagon challenge and the other is Mod Squad's Flower challenge. I must say I have not thought too much about using my Hexagon die set so this was a good kick in the pants to get it out and use it. I used Raisin Boat's Blissful Blossom's poppies flower.I stamped them on water color paper and then used  water color pencils to color them in. I stamped one extra and cut it out and then used foam tape to pop it up on the card for dimension.I die cut the flowers with the Hexagon as well as the aqua and black mats. I found a fun orange printed paper for the card background as well as a coordinating print for the stripe to put under the hexagon. I sponged the edge of the water color paper with black ink to pull out the black,I also did this on the cream and orange print paper. I added 3 small black rhinestones on the side. I stamped the Get well soon ( Raisin Boat) and die cut it with a small oval and edged it with black ink on a sponge also to tie in the black accents on the card. I love challenges they really make me go out of my norm. I like the results with these fun colors i came up with to go with my poppies.

For you sweet and simple

I stamped the heart bouquet  ( a Gena K stamp )with grey ink and then used my momento markers to do a water color look by scribbling on the inside cover and then pick up the ink with a dove blender pen and use it to color in the heart, steam and bow. I added the saying with the grey ink. I layered it with a red mat. I embossed the card front with a simple line frame embossing folder. I used a glitter pen to go over the heart flowers.I like how this simple design turned out.
  This is made for the Mod Squad hearts and glitter challenge. I love all of the cards on the challenge, be sure to check them out for yourself.

Sweet Tweet Valentine card

 This is a fun and bright Valentine card I made with a fun Raisin Boat stamp from Tree's company #10200 I stamped it with grey momento ink and colored it with Copic markers. I added the Sweet Tweet saying with Lipstick red memonto ink. I added some glitter to the wings with a glitter pen.I die cut the bird and mats with spellbinders die's. I cut a stipe of blue dot paper and marked where it would go on the bottom of my page and then embossed the x's and o's above and below where it would go.For a pop of red I added a piece of 1/4" wide red dot washi tape above and below the embossed  lines. I stamped Hugs and Kisses( Raisin Boat Love Letters # 10226) with the Lipstick red momento ink and then went over it with the glitter pen. I punched holes on each side of the red mat and attached 2 aqua eylets on each side. I put a red bakers twine through them and attached the matted bird to the card.
  I made this for Raisn Boats Valentine Challenge # 19  and Mod Squad challenge ( hearts and glitter)

A pretty little wedding card with a hint of blue

I love to color just watching T.V. or when we are on the 2 1/2 hour drive to our family so I end up with colored thing waiting to be made into a card some day. Well I finally made this cute couple into a card. I die cut the filligree with a pale blue paper and then used the oval die to cut out my couple. I added some glitter and a spot of pearls and I like the results.
  Do you color and have a stash of images ready to make into cards? Maybe today is the day you make some cards??

Elegant valentine take one

    I had fun with this card. I started out by just stamping the flower heart (Raisin Boat  Playing  Cupid ) I then colored with various shades of pink Copic markers and then picked out a fun Spellbinder die with a fancy frame on it and die cut it. I then cut a mat from pink cardstock with another fancy edge. I embossed the card with an embossing folder.  I added a sheer pink ribbon in the middle of the card hiding the ends under the matted stamped heart.I then added some pearls and rhinestone to the center of the flowers.
  This was a fun and fast card great for Valentines Day or a Pretty wedding card.
   I  hope you find time to play with your stamps and help get the winter blues out the door where they belong by making your own fun Valentine cards.
