Bouquet de Lavande

Hello!  I am again playing with flower stamps to create another floral theme card, my favorite.  I inked the Lavender stamp directly with Memento Markers using lavenders, grays, and greens and stamped on White Card stock. I have not used this technique of inking colors directly on a stamp in awhile. I filled in some of the image with Copics after stamping.  I cut an opening in a mat of lavender cardstock with a fancy oval die and then embossed the opening with a larger die creating a embossed frame around the image.  Added a Purple Satin ribbon from stash and then attached to a Purple card base.  Finished with the stamp "Bouquet de Lavande" in DOI Wilted Violet. This card was inspired by the mood board challenge at Double D.  All stamps from Power Poppy Lavender set.

Challenges:

Double D Challenge:  Lavenders, Lilac, Purple Challenge.

Retro Rubber Challenge: #134 Spring Flowers. Have had  Power Poppy stamps about 5 years, dated 2014.

Lavender with Dragonflies

Welcome to my studio!  It looks like another hot day to spend some time making more cards.  My design today is for the sketch challenge at Sketch Saturday and also for the Power Poppy challenge.  I used the Power Poppy stamp set Lavender that I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics and Memento Markers.  The word Lavende was stamped in Memento Lulu Lavender ink.  The 4 pattern papers used are from GCD Studio Journeys paper pad by Kathy Davis.  My color choices look like they were inspired by the Power Poppy graphic shown below.  I finished with Dragonfly Brads and a touch of Grosgrain Ribbon.

Challenges:
Sketch Saturday: #371 Sketch on the right
Power Poppy: Power & Spark challenge -Hang Some Paper.  I used 4 pattern papers on my card.
Alphabet Challenge Blog: L is for Lavender.  I used a stamp of Lavender Plant and Lavender Brads and ribbon.
Fussy and Fancy Challenge: # 144 Things with Wings

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Stamping with Lavender

Power Poppy Blog has a new feature for us to share our Power Poppy creations and show our stuff. 
It can be anything -- a card, an altered item, a 3D creation, a set of cards.etc.  I have made a card with an old-fashioned look using Power Poppy new stamp set Lavender.   I stamped the Lavender with Memento Espresso Truffle ink on white cardstock and colored with Copics  BV0000,00,08, G85,99. I cut the image with Spellbinders Oval Die and placed on an Purple oval mat layered on a oval mat of pattern paper. This was framed with a white oval cut with Cheery Lynn Swedish Spring Frame.  Stamped the sentiment "I Love You" with Memento Olive Green ink but it is hidden in the photo by the White Organza/satin bow that I added.  I love this new stamp designed by Marcella Hawley for her company Power Poppy.  Please check out her designs here.

I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa
