Flowers

 
I stamped the background of this card with a beautiful clear stamp by Fiskars called Asian Inspired. I used brown pigment ink by Stampabilities and sparkle embossing powder. Then I colored the flowers with Spectrum Noir Markers. The adorable little bear is Popcorn the Bear from Crafters Companion. I stamped him twice and colored him with Spectrum Noir markers also. I then cut out the flowers and tea cup and layered them on the first image. I added Glossy Accents to the cup and the flower vase, and a little yellow Stickles by Ranger to the center of each flower. The cardstock behind Popcorn and the sentiment were cut with Spellbinder Dies. The butterflies were cut with a Sizzix Die, colored with Sectrum Noir Markers and I added different colored glitter glue to give them some sparkle. The flower petals are PaperStudio and I had the brad in my stash. I would like to enter this card in the October Bugaboo Bingo Challenge. Brad, Sentiment and Flock or flower soft. And I would also like to enter it in the Spectrum Noir October Challenge, Flowers. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. Have a Great day!

Thinking of You

Can you tell I like purple? I really love this stamp, Jumbo Dahlia by Stampendous. I decided this one  needed to be purple. I stamped it twice and colored both with Spectrum Noir Markers and then sprayed them with Spray and Sparkle from Crafters Companion. I cut some of the petals on one of the flowers so I could lift them then layered the two flowers. I embossed the darker purple background paper with Cuttlebug, Polka Dot. The lighter purple background and the tag were both cut using Spellbinder Dies. The sentiment was from Fiskars Floral Flair stamp set. The ribbon is from my stash. I would like to enter this card in the Spectrum Noir October Challenge, Flowers. And I would also like to enter it in the Stampendous - Fabulous Florals - October Challenge. Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

The ribbon was Make It Christmas and the presents embellishment was from PaperStudio.
