The Earth Laughs

Looking through the SCS gallery last night I found a card done by sleepyinseattle that I really liked there fore I decided to case it.  I then found the CC324 and decided to case this card in the same colors and also used the MOJO192.  Thanks sleepy. She is one of my favorites to get inspiration from.

Keywords: CC324 Mojo192 Fabulous Florets

Stamps: Fabulous Florets

Paper: Soft Suede, Baja Breeze, Perfect Plum, Very Vanilla

Ink: same as paper

Accessories: Border and Label punches, Marina Mist Gross grain ribbon, Dimensionals, Square Lattice Embossing folder

I used the soft suede as my card base, layered on that perfect plum and baja breeze each using the scallop punch from SU.  Stamped the foliage from Fabulous Florets with Soft Suede and the smaller flowers on Very Vanilla and Perfect plum using the plum ink. I dabbed some perfect plum onto the vanilla flower to give it some color. I then stamped the sentiment onto very vanilla and cut into an oval with a SU punch and used other  label punches to make the background for it using the baja, plum and suede. Tied a Marina mist ribbon around the layers and added a bow.  I also used dimensionals behind the plum florets and the oval sentiment.

Thanks for sharing your comments as they are very much appreciated.

Tiptoe Thru The Tulips

This is a card I made for a tulip swap. I actually cased it from a swap I got when I participated on SCS swaps.  I do not know who made the original.  This was quite fun to do - The vase is the Christmas Ornament punch  with ribbon over the bottom to make it look flat. The tulips are three pieces punches with the bird punch part normally used for the wings. I added some chalk around the edges to give them more definition. The leaves are the branch on the bird punch also. The sentiment is also one of the SU label punches. The background Baja Breeze was run through the Square Lattice embossing folder.

Papers: A scrap of DSP in a yellow color - which one I am not sure, Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Wild Wasabi, Lavendar Lace, Regal Rose, So Saffron.
Ink: Wild Wasabi
Technique: Paper piecing and/or Punch art
