Blossom Bouquet Card

I need to use the Blossom Bouquet punch more often. It makes such pretty flowers. I used poppy parade and calypso coral to make these flowers. The centers are the new large pearls in the occasions mini catalog. The are really big! I used my Big Shot with Little Leaves and the dotted embossing folder. I also got to use our new labels collections framelits dies. The are perfect for layering! I sponged around the edge of the white layer with calypso coral. I used the tiny calypso ribbon that will be available in the sale-a-bration catalog at the end of this month. It adds sparkle to the cards.

Simply Soft /Marker Technique

Isn't this beautiful? I used Stampin' Up markers from light to dark to get this rich dimensional look. Our markers match our paper and ribbon so you know you are buying the right colors every time. I took pictures of each layer so you could see how it changes from marker to marker. The blue cardstock layers are pacific point and bashful blue. The flowers are on whisper white. I used white taffeta ribbon. The words are from curvy verses.

color everything in with bashful blue and wild wasabi markers

add marina mist marker on the bottom half of the flowers, add touches of garden green marker over the wasabi to highlight

 add a little dot with a pacific point marker at the very bottom of the flowers

 the white gel pen adds highlights on the flowers and the greenery

 sahara sand marker around everything adds shadow and depth





swirls with a sponge in bashful blue then sahara sand makes things pop even more

Big Shot Daisy Card

I think I should have asked Santa for a new camera. The card pictures just don't show the true colors. This one is truly gorgeous in person. The base is whisper white and run through the Big Shot using the dotted folder about half way up . I tied the ribbon around the card, added two celery leaves using the little leaves die,  and two flowers from the daisy die. I used a blue circle brad in the center of the flowers. I used Curvy Verses and black stazon for the words.
