BLUSH AND GREEN CARD SWAP

Our Yahoo Group has two swaps a month.  One is what we call "Artist's Choice" and the other swap is a color swap that is different each month.  The Blush and Green color swap was an easy one to fulfill.  I used the Rubbernecker Rose and embossed the outline with gold powder.  I then colored the image with Copic markers.  I love the simplicity of this flower.  

Tonight we will be attending a dance recital.  Two of our granddaughters and our grandson will be performing.  I am so impressed at how talented all of the dancers are!  It's a First Class recital!!!  And tomorrow night we'll be attending an Honor Band for 5th/6th graders where another granddaughter will be playing.  I think this will be her 5th Honor Band this school year that she was chosen for.  Very proud of all of them!!!!

Thank you for stopping by today.......have a great weekend!!!

FLOWERING FIELDS #4

With winter behind us and spring showing it's beautiful colors around here, I've had a really good time using these stamps.  It's a little early to plant any flowers here quite yet, so I've been playing with the floral stamps that I have.  This is the last of the Flowering Fields designs for this week but I'm sure I'm not done using them.  Tomorrow I'll have something new for you.

Thank you for stopping by today!

FLOWERING FIELDS - #3

Version #3 uses panels again.  I had a piece of the dp left over and went with it as is.  That left room at the bottom edge to use a Cuttlebug border embossing folder.

Thank you for stopping by!

FLOWERING FIELDS - #2

I stamped the designs on to a piece of white card stock and then cut the piece into the three panels.  I am loving this stamp set!  The images were colored with Copic markers and then added to a white mat with foam squares and then added to the card base.

Thank you for stopping by!

FLOWERING FIELDS - #1

I love the stamps in this Stampin' Up! set.  I've made several cards using this set and I will be showing you each of them this week.  The dp used on the front of the card base is also from SU.  I colored the designs with Copic markers.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

RUBBERNECKER - Rose

I made this first card using red for the bloom since there is nothing prettier than a real red rose.    This is a two-step flower.  I stamped the red portion first and then stamped the outline.  I added a little green to just part of the leaves to keep with the design of the stamp.

Yellow makes a very pretty rose too.  The sentiment on both cards is from a retired set of six stamps from Hero Arts.  Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a great weekend!

PENNY BLACK - Pop Pop Poppy

I used this on some cards a while back but decided to give it a try again.  I used two different pink, a green and a touch of yellow Distress Markers.  Before stamping the design I spritzed it lightly with water.  I was pleased to see that the lightest pink matched the Stampin' Up! Pretty in Pink card stock.
