Distressed for Flourishes

I made this distressed card for the challenge on Flourishes. 
I used their new stamp set Garden Fairies and colored it with copics. I used a lot of Tea Dye distressed ink around the edges.  The die cut is from Flourishes Taylor Made Classic Keyhole.  I used several Spellbinders, Joy Craft and Cheery Lynn dies for this card and MS butterfly punch.  Finished the card with gold peel off borders.

The Shabby Tea Room, Tea Party Picnic

The Challenge on The Shabby Tea Room is to use these colors and have a tea or picnic theme. I'm using  Me and Carrie Lou Stamps with a pretty adhesive fabric background from Micheal's and I colored the ribbon with copic re-inker. I used the tiny doily from Cheery Lynn and cut it into 4 pieces for the corners. Added some pretty peel off borders and flowers, leaves and stickles to finish the card. 

Our Daily Bread Sketch

I made this for the Our Daily Bread Design sketch challenge this week.  I used the sewn with love sentiment and the spool and tape image.  I backed this with a Cheery Lynn Dutch scalloped square doily and the center piece is a scalloped square by Spellbinders and I ran it through the cuttlebug borders. I used some matching pearls and outlined everything with a silver pen. 

Flourishes Dainty Doilies

The challenge on Flourishes Timeless Tuesday is Dainty Doilies.   I used their Spring Bouquet stamp set and colored it with Copics.  I mounted that on a Spellbinders circle and trimmed it with pearls. Then I mounted that circle on Parisian Accents Spellbinders and a Cheery Lynn  French Pastry doily which I backed with a French Flair doily stacker.  I added some gems to this layer to finish the card.  

Flourishes, Autumn Colors

Flourishes challenge this week is Autumn Colors.  I stamped the pretty Zinnia and colored the image with copics.  I used spellbinders label 26 for the image and backing and a Marianne Anja square for the green layers. All of the layers were edged in gold pen and the green layer was run through a cuttlebug dots folder.  The pretty corners are Marianne ivy corners and I dabbed some green and copper ink on them.

The Shabby Tea Room Vegetable Garden

I made this for the challenge on The Shabby Tea Room.  I used Our Daily Bread Design stamps and colored with Copic markers.  I added some distress antique linen ink to the image and cut out the little pumpkin.  The background is a cuttlebug and same ink over the raised part of the paper. I added some leaves and gold borders to finish this card. 

Things with Wings

I made this for the Things with Wings challenge at Just Rite.  I used the beautiful Iris Vintage Labels 4 with matching die for this card and spellbinders dies for the corners and backing.  I colored the image with copics and added the pretty spellbinder butterfly after I ran the paper through the cuttlebug. Some gems finished the card. 

Flourishes color challenge for August

The color challenge on Flourishes is Teal, Rust and a Neutral. I used their gorgeous Autumn Blossom stamp set and colored it with copics in teal and rust and green.   This card is 5x7 and I used Radiant Rectangles for the dies. I added a bow that I colored with the copic marker BG72 to match the flowers and added some pearls to finish the card.

Our Daily Bread Design Dahlia

I used this pretty Dahlia stamp for the sketch challenge at Our Daily Bread Design this week.   I colored it with copics and then stamped another one and colored it and cut it out so it's 3-D.  The butterflies are Cheery Lynn small exotic butterflies and the circles are Spellbinders scalloped circles.  I used some pretty papers and a cuttlebug for the background. 

Flourishes case and backgrounds

There are some fun challenges on Flourishes this month. I used Butterflies and Blossoms stamp set and colored it with copics. The designer focus is on Makiko Jones and I chose one of her cards to case. The Timeless Tuesday challenge is to make your own background using stamps and I used the same stamp set for the background. I added a border made by a Martha Stewart punch and some ribbon. The sentiment is stamped on the center piece of elegant labels 4 dies by Spellbinders. I stamped and colored an extra butterfly and cut it out and popped it on the top.     

Just Rite color challenge

After seeing Linda's Work I decided to try and case her idea for pretty pastel challenge on Just Rite Stampers.    I loved how she combined these dies.  I used the gorgeous Irises vintage label 4 stamps with the matching die from Just Rite stamps, colored them with copics and outlined it with a gold pen.  The beautiful spellbinders elegant labels 4 blends right in with the custom die set.  Be sue o check out the challenge on Just Rite and see all the beautiful DT cards.
