Outside of the Box

Hi stampin' Friends,

I am trying something new, colors I would not ordinarily put together or colors that are hard for me to use! I was unsure about this combo but in the end I am happy with it. I used Taken with Teal, Pumkin Pie and the new DSP Sweet Pea. The stamp set I used was Garden Whimsy. For the butterflies I used the Dsp and the new Stampin' Up! embosslits die Beautiful Wings.

I tell you the products just keep getting better and better!

Until Tomorrow Happy Stamping

Hello My Blogging Friends

I know, I know, it has been way to long......but I am back and have some fun cards to post and some new ways of doing things.
Can you believe Sale-A-Bration this year! The products that they are offering are amazing! The punch is wonderful to use, the paper that matches the stamp set Good Neighbors. Well this company never ceases to amaze me.

I wanted to start of with a sketch Challenge. So I decided to use the Mojo Monday challenge, it is always a good one. Here is the sketch; First I had to decide what colors to use. I went with Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence, and the Designer Series Paper is Cottage Wall. Oh how I love this paper! (I don't want to use it I just want to hoard it!)

Then I had to decide on the stamp set. I choose a level two, Wings of Friendship.

I used markers to color the stamp. Also a dauber for the flowers.

I then stamped the flowers on the Orchid Opulence paper so I could cut them out and layer them on top of the other flowers for dimension. I also used a brad from the Vintage Brads in the center of the flower. Adhered them with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Then I used the Mat Pack and Paper Piercer to mark where the side brads would go.

Next was deciding on the ribbon. I decided on Rich Razzleberry and White Grosgrain.

I then decided that it needed a sentiment. I used the Hello from Tiny Tags and one of our fabulous new punches that coordinates with the Tiny Tags stamps, it is called the Medium Jewelry Tag. I am also using our new Clear Mount Stamps, I have to say they are wonderful to use!Finally this is the finished card.
Be sure to check back here tomorrow for another card.

Until then Happy Stamping
