Blooming flower

I cannot stay too far away from punching out flowers when its comes to embellishments.. something just overcomes me, and I reach for the punches. I really had no 'idea' when putting this card together - except that I needed to use up some scraps. I had to really think about the flower center, since it will be mailed, I couldn't have too many layers.

Using the Expresso as my card base, it gave me the blend of autumn colors I love! Of course, it helped that most of the other stuff was laying nearby to grab and put together. The ribbon is alittle thicker than I like, but the texture completes the look.

I added some Garden Green in the inside and then cut out the same leaf and added it to the front.  Something tells me that I should dig around and make a few more of these.

WHO WOULDN'T LOVE A CARD LIKE THIS FOR THANKSGIVING?

Thank you for stopping by!

Hug the ones you love!

Have a great day!

Cheerful and Springy!

This is a cheerful card. It makes me smile. I am pleased with the turn out. I actually got the idea from a June 2009 magazine. Of course the watering can isn't like the original one, but I didn't have the main punch it used, but I like mine!

Here it the card that I may give my sister for Mothers day, since this is her second one:

Assortment of Punches: Butterfly, large oval, word window, 2 step bird, hole punch, boho blossoms.

Cardstock: Summer Sun, Orchid Opulence, Old Olive, Cameo Coral, Bashful Blue

I sponged the sky (new technique for me!) with White. I also sponged the watering can with Orchid.

The summer sun CS was textured with polka dots before being punched out.
