Happy Memorial Day Week-end.

Is that the proper way to say it?  I have no idea.  I know my family has veterans and my oldest is in the Air Force and stationed in Germany.  He does a lot of traveling for the military and into dangerous areas sometimes and I do worry...

 Okay on to the card!  Today's featured stamper is "rosigrld" over at SCS.  Her card ~ BVC09-Delight  was her first and here is my take on it.

I seem to be using a lot of Old Olive lately.  It is a favorite of mine. 

I also used Daffodil Delight and white cardstock.  The background has been scored with the scor-pal.  The Daffodil layer has been run through the Big Shot using Nestabilities. 

I used Flourishes stamp set called "Summer Blossoms"  and stamped it using Old Olive and colored it with Daffodil Delight marker.  The sentiment has been punched out using the modern label punch.  I applied jewels to the corners and both ends of the punched out sentiment.  I popped it up on dimensionals.

Have a safe and wonderful holiday week-end.

For a Friend

I had fun with this card.  The flower center was for another card and I didn't like it so I took it off and re-worked it for this one.  And I am happy I did...

I used White, Black and Daffodil Delight cardstock.  The background is the Diamonds & Dots embossing floder from Quickutz.  I used nestabilities and the key tag punch for the sentiment and stamp.  The butterflies are punched out using Marvy & Fiskars punches. I know they look alike, but are two slightly different shapes.

The stamp is "Flower Spray" from La Blanche and I used Copics to color it with...G09, G14, Y08, Y13.

Added some elements and assembled.

Over on SCS today the colors for the challenge are Regal Rose, Pear Pizzazz & So Saffron.  Any neutral colors and dessert is any thing that begins with the letter "P".

I was not sure about these colors at first.  I think the old brain was asleep.  They are wonderful for flowers!  I used White and Pear Pizzazz card stock for the base of the card.  My stamp is a fairly new company called La Blanche and this one is called  "Flower Bouquet".  They are really a fun stamp to use and very easy to stamp and color.

I used the oval nestabilities to frame the stamp then went with the scallop oval die cut to give it some real dimension and to better frame the flowers.  I colored the flowers with stampin write's pens ~ Regal Rose, Pear Pizzazz & So Saffron.  I have been very good this week so I decided to have some dessert today...used pearls and punches (modern).

Bravo Pizzazz Breeze {CC306 ~ TLC308}

Today the colors are Bravo Burgundy, Pear Pizzazz & Baja Breeze with dessert option of Bravo or Pizzazz or Breeze. Today I am skipping dessert (still need to unload those holiday pounds). I layed out the colors of card stock and finally decided on another silhouette card. I did one yesterday and liked it and wanted to try another, but time got away from me.

I used the Inspired by Nature stamp set in Bravo Burgundy ink, Used DSP in Pear Pizzazz. Cut out the Baja Breeze using nestabilities labels seven. Assembled and added half pearls and seam binding for the bow.

I forgot the post yesterday's card, please forgive me. We have so much going on here!

We were to do a silhouette card. Any type, style or color. I used a Unity Stamp Set for this card called Insightful Meadows. My card stock is Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake and DSP from Basic Grey called archaic.

I inked the stamp in Chocolate Chip and used the labels two Nestabilities set. The Modern Label Punch was used for the sentiment. Along with half silver pearls.  And popped up on Dimensionals.

TFL and have a great week.
