FS224 Missing You

Hello Everyone!!  It's been a loooooong time since I did the Featured Stamper challenge, so it was great to get back for one this week!  This week it's Carly (aka Paperinbloom), who has a very CAS style.  I did try to go more CAS, but I am who I am and this is how it turned out!  :)  I chose her Wishing You card, keeping the same colours and basic layout and floral theme, adding a few more layers, DP and some texture.

I actually started by stamping the Orchids by Flourishes in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and colouring with Copics (V01, V12, V04, V05, V09, C3, G82, G85, 0) then cutting it out with scissors and scalpel.  The base is made of black, Old Olive and Cottage Wall DP.  Around this I added some white crochet lace.  I couldn't find any ribbon to match my Orchids (and anyone who has seen my ribbon collection would be shocked to hear that!), so I grabbed some white satin ribbon and coloured it with a V12 Copic Marker and added it to the top of the crochet.  The next panel is made of white and a piece of black that I've embossed with the Victoria EF and then popped it up on foam tape.  Next I popped the Orchids up, also on foam tape.  Finally I stamped the sentiment and cut it out into a notched tag and secured it with a bow.

Stamps - Orchids, Tag Lines (Flourishes)
Paper - X-press It Blending Card, Black, White, Old Olive, SU Cottage Wall DP
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories - Copics, Victoria EF, White Crochet Lace, White Satin Ribbon, Scissors, Scalpel, Bow Easy, Foam Tape.

Happy Birthday Ben!

Hello Everyone!!  Today my little dude turns 6yrs old!!  How time flies!  He's still at that age where he goes running around the house making weird noises like a dinosaur.....on more than one occasion I have called him Benosaurus!!  :)  So, when I had to make a card for his birthday, I chose this super cute image by My Favorite Things called Little Loveosaurus.  :)  Appropriate don't you think??  I tried to follow this week's MFT sketch, but I think it morphed into something else.

Anyway, the base is made of Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, White (pierced) and three pieces of Kaisercraft Jungle Bug DP.  Around this I've knotted some brown grosgrain ribbon and added a Pumpkin Pie star over the top.  I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics (G12, G40, G82, G85, G99, E000, E01, E40, Y21), then cut it out and popped it up on foam tape.  Next I stamped the sentiment from the same set and created a notched tag across the bottom and finished with a couple of orange buttons knotted with twine.

Books and Daisies

Hello Everyone!!  Today I'm playing along with the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge, which is an inspiration challenge.  I guess I was inspired by the green pot and the flowers and this is what I ended up with.  :)

I stamped the books and daisies image from Flourishes' From The Desk Of set - love this cute image and such a good size too - in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured it with Copics (G40, G82, G85, BG0000, BG000, G24, G28, Y35, Y38, YR24, E35).  It was cut with Large Rectangle Nestabilities and then I cut a mat of yellow (since I don't own small rectangle nestabilities).  I framed this with Old Olive cut with the Fleur de Lis Rectangle Nestabilities. The base is constructed of Old Olive, White and Modern Homemaker DP.  Across this I added a piece of white cut with the MS Iron Gate punch and topped with more Modern Homemaker DP.  Across these I've added some White Crochet Lace and popped up my image over the top with foam tape.  Next I've stamped the sentiment from Orchids in Memento Tuxedo Black and cut it out with Oval Nestabilities.  To finish I added a few Kaisercraft clear rhinestones.
