Flourishes Colorful Creations Challenge

This is the color challenge on Flourishes this week.  I used the gorgeous Magnolia set for this challenge, labels 18 to match the Spellbinders 3-D M-Bossabilities framed labels 18 embossing folder.  I added some lace tape and pearls to finish the card.  The image was colored with copics and cut out.  

Marianne's fan die

Joan's challenge this week is to use a fan, lace, pearls and these colors on your creation.   Marianne's challenge this month is to make it girly!! You can order this gorgeous fan die from Joan's Gardens and I added some lace and pearls and peel off saying.  The bow is peach silk with a pearl in the center. 

Needle it with Our Daily Bread Design

The challenge on ODBD is use some kind of needle/piercing on your creation.  I used the large oval piercing plate by Cheery Lynn for the purple layer.  The beautiful flower and saying is from The Mom stamp  . I colored it with copics and mounted it on some pretty DP from my stash.  I added some pretty ribbon and bow and gems to finish the card. 

Flourishes, All in the date

It's all in the date challenge at Flourishes. My birthday is in June so my challenge was a birthday card in pinks.  I used their gorgeous roses are red set and embossed it on vellum with white EP.  I used copics to color it. I edged the image in gold and backed it with a Joy Craft die cut and a Spellbinders butterfly corner.  The sentiment is a gold peel off on the center of the Perfectly pierced victorian oval.  All dies and background paper were edged in gold. I added pink prima flower and leaves and a Martha Stewart butterfly.   

A few scenes from my retreat!

These are just a few of the scenes that I made during my annual scenic stamping retreat.  I had 12 gals here from several states and we had a wonderful week of stamping, laughing, eating and fun!!  The stamps are many different companies, Stampscapes, Sutter stamps, Beeswax and probably more companies for some of the smaller stamps.  I colored them with copics and the airbrush.  Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy them. 

Scenic stamping retreat

I'm hosting my annual scenic stamping retreat this week.  12 of us are having a great time, lots of inspiration, food and laughter.  This is just a small sample of the beautiful work by myself and others.  I will post more next week after I recuperate.

Frame it in Purple!

Frame it is the challenge at Flourishes and Pretty in Purple is the challenge on Cheery Lynn this week.  I started this 5x7 card with Cheery Lynn's coved rectangles and added some pretty paper from Close to my Heart.  Fiona's Magic Mirror die from Cheery Lynn is the frame and the gorgeous Flourishes Roses are Red stamp is in the center. I colored the flowers with copics in the BV and V colors.   I edged everything with a gold pen and added a bow and some bling.
