Bashful Sunflower

This is a card I made last night for the CAS (clean & simple) challenge #73 over on SCS. The challenge was to use bashful blue, certainly celery & pumpkin pie. At first I didn't think I would like it, but once I started working with the colors I decided they looked very nice together.

The stamp is from Mark's Finest Papers

called Blackberries, Sunflowers and Bees. I really like this set. I just got it on Monday and had to ink it up right away!!! You'll be seeing more cards with this set I'm sure. Also the card is 5x5

Stamps: Blackberries, Sunflowers and Bees by MFP

Ink: Chocolate Chip & Pumpkin Pie (sentiment)

Paper: Snow Storm Smooth by MFP, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery & Pumpkin Pie

Speedy's Challenge #9

This week's challenge was to use 3 flowers on your card. I immediately knew that I wanted to use the hollyhock flower from Pears and Hollyhocks. If you want to play along click HERE
to go to Speedy's challenge page.

I colored the hummingbird then cut him out and popped him up on pop dots to give a little dimension. I glittered the ruby throat of the hummingbird, but it doesn't show up in the photo. Flower soft was used for the center of the flowers.

Stamps: MFS Pears & Hollyhocks
Ink: Basic Grey, Rose Red
Paper: Rose Red, Pink Pirouette, Petals & Paisley DSP (retired), MFP Snow Storm smooth
Misc: Cricut, 1 3/4" circle punch, flower soft, glitter, pop dots, prismas, baby oil, blending stumps

Pears and a new Background stamp

I made this card to enter this week's Featured Stamper Challenge over on SCS. Debbie has a beautiful gallery over there, and I had so much fun looking at all her wonderful cards. She used a really nice pear designer paper, but I didn't have anything like it, so I used a new stamp from the upcoming set called Background Fun from Mark's Finest Papers

The stamp wasn't large enough to cover the entire front of the card, but since the stamps are clear, I could just keep lining it up and stamping over & over to make the background. Easy peasy! And fun too!

Here's the deets on the card:

Stamps: Background Fun and Pears and Hollyhock from MFP
Ink: Wild Wasabi
Paper: Wild Wasabi, Riding Hood Red, Snow Storm from MFP
Misc: Prismas, baby oil, ribbon, charm from MFP

Boy the weekend really went by very quickly. Hopefully the week will go as fast since next weekend is a 3 day weekend! Yippie!!!!!

Happy Stamping!

Flower Soft Garden Sillouettes

I can't decide if I like this card or not. The flower soft colors don't match the background DSP, but it's all I had. What do you think?

I was at the Great American Scarpbook show all day today. It was a lot of fun. I took 3 classes and really learned a lot, especially from the Cricut out of the box class. What a fun day!!!

Here's the deets on the card:

Stamps: Garden Silouettes
Ink: Wild Wasabi
Paper: Brenda Walton DSP, Certainly Celery
Misc: ribbons, labels 8 nesties, scallop nesties, dew drops, flower soft

Have a great rest of the weekend.
