A Bouquet of Colors

Welcome to my studio!  I am showing a card that I made for the Creative Confetti Challenge which is a Tic Tac Toe one.  I chose the lower row across for my elements to use Emboss, Make It Sparkle, and Twine.  I began by stamping the bouquet from Power Poppy Countryside Bouquet set with Memento Peanut Brittle ink and coloring with Copics.  I trimmed the image with Lawn Fawn stitched circle die.  I attached this to a patterned paper from MME Notable pad that I embossed with Cuttlebug Wicker Weave EF for some texture. I just happened to find this colorful paper that seemed to go well with the colors in my bouquet.  Often times, I select the pattern first and select colors from it to use on my image. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Cottage Ivy ink, added some sparkle to the centers of the flower with Crystal Stickles and the buds(purple ones), and finished with a twine bow to tie the bouquet. Selected a precut turquoise card base that just happened to fit the design.

Christmas Wishes with a Wreath

Hello!  I have another Christmas card for my stash that I made with a Wreath and Sentiment stamp from Repeat Impressions.  I stamped the wreath with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics. I added shine to the ribbon with Sakura Stardust pen.  I cut the image with a Spellbinders round die and attached to a Green Cardstock circle cut with Lawn Fawn stitched die.  I place d this on a background of Polka Dot Patterned Paper and then a white card base. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and heat embossed twice with Gold EP.

Burst of Flowers

Hello!  Monday, I was inspired by the post on Power Poppy by Julie when she showed a quick way to create a card using stippling to add a burst of color.  I was so inspired that I made this quick card which took just a few minutes to make.  I followed the steps she used and  used the same Memento green inks that she used but used Memento red inks for the flowers but they showed up looking more pink than red.  I used Power Poppy Geraniums Take Two set for my image and a sentiment from Dahlias XL set.  I added some splatters of green to the image.  I trimmed the image with Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle die and placed on a background of a patterned paper from Pink Paislee Color Wash pad.  Used a white card base.  Other supplies: Stipple Brushes, Water brush.  Loved how this turned out and how quickly it came together.  Thanks to Julie for the inspiration. 

Challenges:
