Spring is in the Air

Hello!  Thinking thoughts of Spring!  In this card, I have used up scraps of a pattern paper and yellow and green scraps.  The flower was made with 6 ovals and one circle cut with Nesties dies. Leave were cut with Susan Garden leaf dies.  I fussy cut the word Spring and layered on die cut label of green. No stamps were used in the making of this card, only papers and dies.

Challenges:
CAS(E) this Sketch:  #115 shown on right
Cute Card Thursday: #365 Challenge is Spring Fever
Just Add Ink: #255 Use eggs or ovals.   Used ovals to create flower.
Die Cut Diva's: March challenge is Spring/Children.  Used oval, circle, leaf dies and embossing on center of flower.

I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa

You Are On My Mind

Today, I am playing with the sketch from the Less Is More challenge.  I thought of a lot of options but ended up cutting a ring of Patterned Paper from Webster's Pages Parkdrive  using Nesties circle dies.  I attached this to a square card base of White cardstock. I seldom make square cards because of extra postage needed to mail but ....but it needed to be square for my design. I stamped 2 Azaleas on coral cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored leaves and flowers with pencils and used glaze pen to add highlights to flowers. I fussy cut the Azaleas, attached to the card, and stamped sentiment with Memento Pear Tart ink.  The Azalea Stamp set that I used  is from  a new company Power Poppy created by Marcella Hawley.

Challenges:
Less Is More: Sketch shown above
Simon Wednesday Challenge: Keep it clean and simple.

No Copics used in the making of this card.

Just for Joan's Gardens Challenge

 

Hello! I am posting this card that I made  for Joan's Garden Challenge.  We are to use polka dots , some vellum,  butterflies , any color combination , and use a product sold at Joan's Gardens. The pink cardstock for the base card is from a pack of Pastel Fashion colors purchased from Joan's Gardens. I layered this with a mat of polka dot paper from MME's 6x6 Paper Pad and then topped it with part of a floral paper from MME's Indie Chic Paper Pad that I fussy cut .  I stamped the Sentiment (Spring Has Sprung set) by Flourishes with SU Always Artichoke ink on a scrap of Velum and attached it under the polka dot layer in a window cut with Nesties Label 4 Die.  I then attached with foam dots the 2 butterflies that are a double layer of pink cardstock and Velum.  The butterflies were cut with a Memory Box Pippi Butterfly Die that I won from Joan's.

It is fun how easily a card can be built with 3 papers, some scraps, and a couple of dies....and of course a stamp and ink.
