Pink Tulips birthday

I created this card for a friend's birthday tomorrow and the SCS Color Challenge this week. What's better than pinks and gray? I don't know! I love this color combo.

I stamped the tulips using pretty in pink and pink pirouette inks with always artichoke stems and leaves. That was cut/embossed with Spellbinders Labels Four, cutting the embossed edge off the white panel so the grey would show. The sentiment was punched with an oval and then mounted onto Spellbinders Parisian Accents in grey and white and stacked. The card front is embossed with Textile Textures and Thank You Set 5 with a little lace where the two panels meet.


Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Beautiful Tulips

You know, I just love these tulips. Anyone can make such a fabulous card with these images. I created a rather simple card, but I think it is still so striking. My sweet daughter got this stamp set for me, not too long ago and I'm so grateful. I think it is one I will keep forever. It's perfect for so many occasions. Thanks Wendy dear.


The tulips are two-step stamps. I used Regal Rose and Rose Red inks for them. The stems are stamped using Versa Color Bamboo ink. The sentiment is by Rubbernecker and is perfect for so many different occasions, don't you think? I stamped that using the Rose Red ink. It would have been just fine just like that, but I decided to add an organdy bow which was heated just a little.

I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Fabric flower

You know these big old fabric flowers are so popular right now, in the hair or as accessories on clothing. I thought I could make one and have wanted to for a long time. Today, I did it! Wooo hooo.

I cut circles from three different colors of this polyester fabric. You don't have to be very precise in your cutting. I tried using my heat gun to melt the fabrics, but don't waste your time - it doesn't work. hee hee hee I lit a candle and used it as the heat source. I layered all the circles and stitched them together, adding a button to the center.

For the card, I used a chocolate chip base and then the black to mat the going gray card front. The flourish from SU! Baroque Motif was stamped using black craft ink and clear embossed. The sentiment is stamped with chocolate chip ink and clear embossed. The flower is removable to use as an accessory.
