If I Could Pick a Bouquet, I'd Give It To You

Welcome!  My favorite theme for cards is flowers and Power Poppy Floral stamps are a favorite of mine. I pulled out a stamp from Power Poppy Countryside Bouquet set and created this card using yellow, blue, and green for the Creative Confetti challenge to use those colors.  Stamped the bouquet with Memento Black ink and colored with Copics.....more of my favorite things. Stamped the sentiments from the Power Poppy Dahlia set with Memento Green ink and heat embossed with Clear EP.  I have begun nearly always using embossing powder on stamped sentiments....just makes them look better. I lightly edged the image with a blue copics before attaching to a Yellow CS mat and a Green card base. Finished with a bit of twine "around" the bouquet.
I wish that I could go out and pick  a bouquet of flowers but we are having a mix of rain and snow today and there are not many flowers in bloom.  Will just have to be satisfied with stamping flowers on a card.
Challenges:

Summer Fun

Hello!  There are several card challenges for summer-beach-sun fun.  I used an older stamp from Just For Fun in my collection to create this card. It is called Sunset with Palms.  I stamped it on white CS with Memento Espresso Truffle ink and colored with Copics and Distress Oxide inks using the photo below that I found online.   I covered the image with a smokey photo overlay transparency that  darkened the colors a bit. (See photo below.)  I cut a mat of white CS and placed that over the image and overlay and attached that to Coral card base.  The sentiment from GKD was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink directly on the mat.  Other supplies used: Versamark ink, White and Clear EP.  Dimensions of the finished card are 6.5" x5.25".  The transparent overlay gives a nice shine to the card in real life.

Flowers in a Frame

Hello!  My card today is for the challenge at Power Poppy -Frame It Up- Simply frame your image on a card, decorate a frame or frame your stamped piece as a bit of home décor.  I printed Power Poppy's Camellias Digi on watercolor paper and colored with Distress Inks Picked Raspberry, Forest Moss, and Peeled Paint using a watercolor brush.  I then framed the image with a decorative 5x7 mat that I purchased for 50 cents and have had in my stash forever.  I then placed this in a brass frame so that I can use  it on a side table as a bit of décor.  I photographed the framed image without the glass to avoid glare.
