Artistic Flora

 

I saw this card on Pinterest... not sure who designed it, but wanted to show where I received inspiration for my card. If this card is yours...thank you!

Now, I did change up a few things to make the card my own. I didn't like the look of plain black buds or plain yellow buds, but the layered buds of black and then yellow really make this card pop. Also, I added 'Wink of Stella' to the flowers and buds to make them shine.

Thanks for stopping by!

Peaceful Blooms

 

I loved the simplicity in Mary Fish's card, so wanted to create one of my own with my own twist.

I chose to use the Orchid Oasis cardstock for my card. 

For the flower... I added a Wink of Stella to the white petals to make them stand out against the white background.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Irresistible Camellia

 

WOW! Let me just tell you... this card took a while to do, yet is too adorably cute! I decided to try my hand at the 'Pop-up Vase card. There are several tutorials on YouTube out there, so I won't go into detail here. (The Pop-up part is inside the card.)

It took a bit of time to do, as the scoring of the Designer Series Paper kept ripping on me, so I added a reinforced piece on the other side of the 'Vase' part. Also, you definitely need to use heavy-duty double-sided sticky tape (or tear n tape) to attach to the card base. I didn't have any, so tried just Stampin' Seal+ first... only to have to utilize the Tombow liquid glue instead.

I added a Wink of Stella to all the blooms that you see here!

Thanks for looking!

Irresistible You

 

For cards that I want to make several of, I try to create the same layout but with differing color schemes. This is true for my Mother's Day cards for this year... for all the mother's in my life!

I chose to use the new 'Irresistible Blooms' stamp set. Now, I wasn't able to get the coordinating dies as they ran out of them, but will hopefully get some when they come in. With that said... YES... I did fussy cut the flowers out.

I chose the color combos of Rich Razzleberry/Fresh Freesia; Night of Navy/Balmy Blue; and Pumpkin Pie/Pale Papaya. I paired them all with Old Olive. I added a Wink of Stella to the blooms to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a peek!
