Stamp TV March Challenge

Deb at Stamp TV had an unusual challenge on STV's March release party: Give up your favorite product to make a project for this challenge. Set aside your typical go-to, and reach for something different. 

My favorite products that I gave up for making this card are Copics and Embossing Folders. Instead I stamped images using versamark and clear embossing powder on solid card stock. I then cut out the stamped images and arranged ...not a fan of cutting with scissors...I prefer die cutting.

Crepe Paper Flowers

Focus of this card that I made for a challenge by Linda at Stamp TV  and for the challenge at Joan's Gardens are the crepe paper flowers that I made.
Cut the petals for the flowers using Spellbinders Blossom die and inserted brads in center to hold together. Cut leaves with a Sizzix die. Placed the flowers and leaves on a precut oval that I had left from a scrapbook project. Put this on a white mat that I decorated the corners with a punch. Following a sketch from Sweet Sunday which I turned on the side, I stamped a sentiment on one rectangle and a "Lace" Paper on another.  Assembled card and added some pearls.

Challenges:
Joans Gardens:  Make a pink and white card, and be sure you have 4 corners punched preferrably with a Martha Stewart Punch-- if you don't have any, you can substitute something else.
Stamp TV Blast Challenge: Make your own Flowers and give us at least three flowers on your project.
Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge: Make your own embellishments.

Card Made With Love

One Layer Wednesday Challenge is  make a square card and use an outline stamp. I love these challenges ---they may seem very simple but it does take some thought and planning to execute. I inked up an old PSX stamp "Hydrangea" with markers and carefully place on the 5" square card. I do hope this is considered an outline stamp even if it has some details. I then embossed the sentiment along the side and inked the raised edges.
This card will also be entered into Theresa's challenge over at Stamp TV: to stamp an image sideways, upside down, or at a different angle than normal.
Stamp: PSX "Hydrangea"
Markers: Marvy Ultramarine
               Memento Bamboo Leaves
Ink: SU Always Artichoke and Brilliant Blue
Cuttlebug:  EF "With Love"-used for sentiment

I do not make too many 5" square cards but this stamp looks best on a larger size than A2.
Now I have to make an envelope.
Have a good day!
