Shopping Our Stash #390 ~~ Fabulous February!!

Mimi is the hostess for the Fabulous February challenge at Shopping Our Stash and she wants to see something inspired by February's stone (Amethyst) or February's Flowers (Violet or Iris)  I chose to go with Flowers and used a very old Flourishes Violet image, one of my favourites as it can be used for any occasion.

The image was coloured with alcohol markers and die cut with stitched square, I fussy cut around the leaves to have them hanging off the square. Layered on purple lacy square then on a white lacy square. Everything on this card (with the exception of the white) is many years old.

A different angle to show how the image layer is elevated. 

The inside doesn't have a sentiment as I will put this in the "generic" stash as it can be used for many occasions.

I would like to enter this in:

It’s Monday….Challenge time at The Cheerful Stamp Pad

Happy Monday friends…..Happy Labour Day to my Canadian and American followers. Here is the inspiration picture from The Cheerful Stamp Pad  for Challenge #68.

For my card I chose to go with the pink tones of the card, I used a Flourishes image called Sweet Pea. Coloured with my prisma colour pencils and OMS, layered with GP white and pretty in pink. I added the sheer pink bow to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you will join the fun at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.
Happy Labour Day!!!

Spring is Just Around the Corner………

I needed to make a “get well”  card for one of our Friday bowling members that was having surgery, The image I chose is from Flourishes they have the most awesome flowers and lots of other fabulous stamps. I coloured the image with prisma pencils and odourless mineral spirits, the base is 5 1/4 X 5 1/4 Wisteria cardstock. The white layer is embossed with the cherry blossom folder, The dark cardstock is Concord Grape and the frame is cut with the square spellbinder die Fleur dis Lis.
