More Pink Tulips

Hello! I do love pink tulips and I use the color combo of pink and green a lot. I have several favorite stamps with tulips and one of them is this one from Repeat Impressions.  I stamped it on white cardstock with Memento Black ink and colored with Copics.  I stamped the vase portion again on patterned paper from DCWV and then fussy cut  and paper pieced on the image.   Used the same pattern for the background but embossed it with an Argyle EF.  I trimmed the image with an oval die and cut a pink mat with an  Eyelet Oval die both from Heartfelt Creations.  I assembled the card on a pink card base. 

Check out the Pink Tulips in my blog header.  They are the Angelique tulips blooming in my garden.

A Peony for A Birthday

Welcome!  Switching off to making some birthday cards but still doing Christmas cards.  I created this design for the Creative Confetti Challenge Free For All - to create anything  you desire using Power Poppy stamps.  I pulled out one of my favorites Power Poppy clear stamp sets Peony Muse and stamped the smaller peony with Memento Pink ink (heat embossed with Clear EP) and the leaves and stems with Memento Green Ink.  I colored the image with Copics and used a White Pencil for some highlights. I trimmed the image with an Oval die and cut a mat from Gold Metallic CS with a Scallop Oval die. I attached this at an angle on to DCWV patterned stripe paper with gold foil accent stripes.  Added a White Organdy Ribbon with Gold Threads and attached die cut words cut from Pink CS with Cheery Lynn Dies.  Added some sparkle to the words with Sakura Clear Star pen. Finished with a card base of heavy weight white cardstock.

Wild About You

Hello!  I came up with this card for some current challenges including Gina K Design Monthly Mix Challenge to focus on repeating a sentiment on your card and also Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge.  I used stamps from GKD Wild About You set that I had never used since I got it about a month ago.  I started out by stamping the sentiment 4 times on a ivory card stock panel with Distress Oxide Ink Walnut Stain. But then decided I wanted to add an image of a giraffe from the same set.  I did that by stamping the image on clear vellum with Memento Peanut Brittle ink and then heat embossed with clear EP.  I liked the way the giraffe looked on the vellum when I overlaid over my sentiment panel and attached it using Scotch Vellum Tape and wrapping the edges of the vellum around the panel.  I assembled the card following the sketch shown below using GKD Chocolate Brown CS and Patterned Paper from DCWV Safari Chic Matstack.  I die cut some of the wild animals from one of the patterned papers to use on the corners of the card.  I plan to give this card to my DH for our anniversary this month because I am wild about him.
