Sunflower 2.0

Hello!

I'm back today with another sunflower, and this will go to a couple of challenges -- Fusion - Front Porch and TCH49 - Yellow & Brown.  I made this card first, and it's really subtle in color, especially compared to my last card!

I used the brick wall, a flower and the layout from Fusion, and the colors from The Color Hues.  I sponged DIs on the brick wall, to make it stand out a bit.  The sunflower was water colored with DIs, and the tag was hot foiled with copper foil and popped up on foam.  Here's a peek at the shine ~

That's it for me today!

 

Supplies:

   HB - Sweet Sunflower stamp, Autumn Afternoon dp

   Szx - Bricked e/f, Labels 18 dies

   

Thank you for the visit!

Birthday Blooms

Welcome!
Thank you for taking a moment of your day to visit -- you all mean SO MUCH to me! 

Today I have a card inspired the colors over at CTD711 - teal, green, yellow and brown.  Now right away my brain had sunflowers in it, especially since I had just finished another card with a sunflower (you'll see that in a day or two) and the inspiration photo has one in it too.  This card was really fun...

I stamped the image, Copic-colored, cut the panel down and popped it up on foam.  It was then centered over the teal plaid dp -- this paper really makes me happy!  Oh yes, I outlined the image with my lightest blue (B000 - I think it's called aqua blue).

Supplies:

   Stmpl:  Bloomfully - Kindness

   CP:  Scallops & Dots

   CCC - Birthday Wishing

   LF - Perfect Plaid 6x6

Hope this is the start of an awesome week!

Frosty Boughs?

 Welcome, Friends!

This card uses a bit of your imagination, or at least mine, so I hope it works to send over to Peace On Earth #24 challenge.  I focused on the frosty pine boughs ~

Sorry, not the greatest photo because I was running out of natural light.

I used an inky embossing folder, with as little pressure as I could get, so the ink would transfer without making too much dimension.  I trimmed down the panel and layered my heat embossed sentiment vellum panel over top so that my boughs now look frosty.  The panel was then placed over a strip of glossy gold c/s cut using an edging punch and mounted on my base.  EZPZ, another Christmas card done!

There sure is a lot of interest and beauty in this inspiration!  I could go at least a dozen ways, if I only had the time!

Supplies:

   SB - Forever Green e/f

   SSS - To You & Yours sentiment

   MS - Arch Lattice punch

Thank you for popping in today!

Hugs,

Joy To Your World (and a little Sparkle)!

Good evening, Dear Friends!  I hope your week is going well and nothing stands in the way of that!

I'm back with a couple of cards, basically the same card products, just oriented a little different and different c/s.  One of these will be heading to The Flower Challenge #62 - Add Sparkle.

A friend enabled me to purchase this pretty cover plate.  I cut the plate out of shimmer gold c/s, white and red, then placed the gold solid piece over white c/s.  I pieced the white poinsettias back into the panel, and a few of the red dots.  I also added white pearls to the centers.  After wards, I popped up the heat embossed sentiment on a banner.  A closer look at the shimmer?

For my second card, I used the white panel, pieced in the red poinsettias and totally filled the panel with the shimmery golden dots, and popped up the sentiment on a label die. On this card, I used diamond gems in the centers of the flowers.  

Well, that's it for my shimmer and sparkle!  Oh!  I guess this cover plate die is NBUS, so I'll be sending this over to NBUS #42 too!

 

Supplies:

   WF - Poinsettia Panel

Thank you for stopping by, and have a great day!

A Hydrangea kind of Birthday

Hi again!

Another quick card, for a co-worker's Birthday!  This card will go to MFT Color Challenge #196 - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these colors!  Unfortunately I didn't have an MFT flower image that I wanted to use for this card so I hope I'm excused!

I stamped, Copic-colored, cut out the image with a frame die that I received as a freebie from Waffle Flower awhile back.  I also winked the flower center but couldn't really grab the sparkle, so you'll just have to imagine you see it (wink).

Sorry for my poor lighting, I finished later than expected and didn't have any natural light to help with a better photo!

Supplies:

   EbE - Mondo Hydrangea

   WF - Nesting Postage die

   PTI - Stylish Birthday Sentiments

Sorry for the quick pop-in, but I just completed a 12-hour workday, so I'm off to hit the hay!  Have a great week!

Hugs,

TK
