RS55/ SUO66- Spring time Flowers

   

Ok, so here it is, my first attempt of stamping posies from retired  SU! Fifth Avenue Floral and coloring them on vellum.

I used Stazon ink, and then filled in with a paintbrush and Primrose Petals ink, then cut out. I then used some Stickles for the inside. I punched a butterfly in vellum then layered it on Glossy White cardstock.  Its my take on the Retro Sketches layout.

Retro Sketches 55

Keeping in mind that I wanted to use the Craft Dash challenge, and it has to be under 10 minutes. So I knew I was going to be close, since cutting out those flowers was a time eater! 

 

Time 9:48 - whew!

Swinging in....

My kids are a little to old to take to the playground to exert their energy, so we end up on bikes, hiking trails, or playing kickball. I miss some of our playground adventures. Not the scrapped knees and making sure they are clean when we get into the car, but the 'freedom' of being on a swing and just being pushed HIGH in the SKY! It was just FUN!!!!

 

I know found this on the Lynn Pratt's blog, years ago. Loved it but never tried it. It was fun to make. So I make 5 of them! 

 

Its a free hand tree, and the card base is only 4 1/4 x 4 1/4, so you can make a tall tree and fit into an A2 envelope. I softly stamped clouds in the sky. I might add some flowers near the tree before sending out!

HAPPY SPRING!!!!

ITS SPRING TIME!!! OFFICIALLY!!!!

I know its been acting like spring weather wise since the beginning of March, at least here it has.

So when you think Spring, you think....?

Baseball?

Gardening?

BBQ's.

Ahhh yes, and the lovely Daffodils that are springing up everywhere!

I love the simple and clean looks this has. I used the 2 3/4 circle for the front of the card, and then stamped my image on another piece and popped it behind the opening. I colored the Simply Soft with markers. I used the Daffodil DSP to layer over the bottom and added Ribbon. Adding the pearls to the card added some nice but they seem to get lost in the designer paper.

Tulip time

I know its Spring when my tulips are up & blooming. I walked around the house and noticed the daffodils that seem to only be open in a moments notice. With the warm weather at the moment, I hope they stick around alittle longer but in the meantime, its also tulips time!

As you are aware, I am alittle bit of a flower gal. Though more on paper than in my yard. Not because I cannot grow them, only because I want them to be more "hardy" then they are.

I picked colors that I do have in my garden to put this frame of tulips together. I love the different reds, which I used, Real Red and Poppy Parade, mixed it in with Daffodil Delight and Pink Pirouette. They all have Wild Wasabi stems.

I used the 5 petal punch and cut off two petals, folding the single petal up towards the other two. Its very simple, just punch one and take a look! Using the new framelits I made two and used dimensions then put my tulips in between them.

I love the look! I love my tulips!

Have a great day! Hug the ones you love! Thanks for stopping by!
