More birthday bash for Flourishes

Flourishes is still celebrating their birthday and you can still participate and win some fabulous stamps, scroll down a couple of cards to see the birthday bash. This gorgeous new stamp set of hollyhocks was stamped with memento black on cryogen white paper and colored with copics.  I cut it out with a Cheery Lynn French Flair die, and added a Heartfelt Creations Bella Rose flourish to the card also.  The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon club and I added some butterflies from a Martha Stewart punch with a few gems from Michaels. 

Purple and more purple, Really Reasonable Ribbon

This beautiful ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I belong to the monthly ribbon club and each month we get 6-8 beautiful ribbons.  This card is made for their challenge blog this week.  I used some new K&Co paper, diamond spellbinders and these gorgeous pearls  from Want 2 scrap nestablings.  They match the spellbinders nestabilities. Theya are fantastic!  Be sure to check out all the links and see the gorgeous creations!!

Sweet Stamps Parchment Challenge

Our challenge today over at Sweet Stamps is to use parchment on our card. I heat embossed their gorgeous curly butterfly with white EP on vellum and then outlined it on the backside with a stylus.  I mounted it on some pretty blue print paper by K&Co and a solid piece run through the cuttlebug. Added some pretty butterfly corners made with a MS border punch on gold mirror card, lace from Really Reasonable Ribbon and some scrunched ribbon from my stash.  Gold pen to edge the borders with.

Flourishes Love challenge

Our challenge this month on Flourishes Blog is to use the color red and Love.  I chose their beautiful heart, spellbinders die to cut it out, some pretty Bo bunny papers, ribbon hearts from Really Reasonable ribbon and the white ribbon behind them.  Prima flower and leaves and MS heart border punch. The border punch is part of the around the card heart punch.  Be sure to check out the teams cards over at Flourishes.

Priscilla and Stampin Sisters challenges this week

The sketch layout for this card is from Priscilla's Midnight madness and the vintage theme is from Stampin Sisters in Christ. The picture doesn't show the distressing very much but I distressed the DP with Tim Holtz inks for the antiqued look. The beautiful image is from Crafty Secrets floral collection. I'm so excited that Crafty Secrets is coming out with some gorgeous floral images and larger ones as well.  They have several new things coming out in Feb and I can't wait!!  I ran the shimmer bazill paper thru the cuttlebug and added some MS punched butterflies, some pretty bling from Michaels and the ribbon is from Really Reasonble Ribbon. Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to check out the blogs and stores for all the goodies to make this card.

I love this image from Flourishes, the technique is painting with stickles on split coast, Flourishes was to use flowers and the other challenge for them was red, pink and white. The sketch is from Priscialla's midnight madness.  I stamped the image in memento black, used copics to color it and then went over all of it with stickles, cotton candy on the flowers, lime green on the leaves and patina on the bird. I used the dies direct die cuts from Cheery Lynn designs for the shapes, gems from Michaels and ribbon from Reasonable ribbon's monthy club.  Please check out the links for these wonderful blogs and the inspiration on each of them.
