Flower Power

Hi there!  Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend and your week is off to a terrific start!  The weather here has been ugly for days - rainy, chilly and windy!  Looking forward to that nice Spring weather we were having earlier last week!  I managed to visit my craft room a couple of times over the weekend and I now have a card to share that is for a few challenges I like to do.  A lot of them had a similar theme - "lots of flowers" - so that worked out well.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the pretty pastel patterned papers are from the Authentique Spring 6x6 pad.  My adorable image is Merry Weather from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added a soft cloudy sky and some grass again for my Spring scene.  She is framed with a Spelbbinders Decorative Labels One diecut.  I added some lace and a triple-loop satin bow with a silver charm (thanks, June!).  A bunch of flowers (mostly Wild Orchid Crafts) and a spray of pearls (thanks, Lori!) finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  I promise to try and visit later this evening after Dancing With The Stars!

Little Miss Muffet - New Release

Good morning!  Happy early Thursday!  Have you had a good week?  As expected, we had quite a bit of rain and stormy weather yesterday, but hopefully it's going to clear up in time for the weekend!  One can hope, right?  Given that it's Thursday, I'm here to post my DT card for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  We have a new release this week!  Wait until you see all the adorable stamps this time!  You are going to love them all, as I do!  You can see them all in the What's New section of the Little Miss Muffet store.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Tangerine Tango and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Tangerine 6x6 pad.  Now don't faint - I've used orange!  I'm not an orange person and I rarely use it, but I thought it fit well with the papers and theme.  The adorable image is Nice Weather (for Ducks) from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  It's new in the Pollycraft Swings 'n Slides line.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added in the cloudy sky and grass around the puddle.  I added Glossy Accents to the water in the puddle and the little drops on her pockets.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A bunch of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers (daisy, cherry blossoms and sweetheart blossoms) and a bow and button finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog and check out the truly adorable creations from the rest of the DT and our April Guest Designer, Petra!  You still have until next Tuesday, April 30, to enter our "food, glorius food" challenge.  If you use a Little Miss Muffet Stamp or any Pollycraft stamp, you may enter with anything goes as the theme and you may enter as many times as you'd like.  If not, please follow the theme and enter only once.

Spring Ray of Sunshine

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is off to a good start!  It's already been busy here so far, but I did find time to finish a card I was making for a few challenges I enjoy.  This one is full of Spring colors and flowers and if only the real weather would cooperate with some Spring sunshine, it would be great!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Tangerine 6x6 pad.  I used one sheet with text and one with flowers.  The sweet image is Sabrina from Saturated Canary.  You can find her in Krista's store here.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added just a bit of Crystal Stickles to her underskirt and a Eucalyptus Stickles to the flower centers.  I cut out the image and a mat for it with my Cameo.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  The pretty flowers are all from the amazing Sunday Sweet Stuff I won from Jacque recently.  Thanks so much, Jacque!  Peach chevron ribbon and a few gems from my stash finished my card.

Sweet Friendship

Hi there!  Happy Monday!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  I'm popping by this afternoon to share a card I made for Elphine House Challenge #36 (going vintage) and a few other challenges I enjoy doing when I can.  I also get to show off the beautiful new Elisabeth Bell Stamp I won from Elphine House a couple of weeks ago when I won their challenge.

Here is a my card:

My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the pretty vintage patterned paper is from the Prima Fairy Belle 6x6 pad.  My sweet image is Carrie Swan Princess from Elphine House Australia.  I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added Star Dust Stickles to her wings, Baby Blue Stickles to the water and Cotton Candy Stickles to the little flowers.  The image is framed with a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangle with pearls added around the border.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I added lots of texture with the vintage-style lace, a tulle flower and Wild Orchid Crafts roses.  Two Make it Crafty fancy chipboard corners painted white and spritzed with Pearl Glimmer Mist finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:
