Thank You Marigolds

Hello Everyone!!  Today I was playing around with some JustRite Papercraft stamps and this is the finished result!  I never seem to have any thank you cards, so I thought I'd make this for my stash!  :)

It's a nice easy card to make and I've actually used three different stamp sets - didn't plan it that way, it's just the way my day rolled!  :)  I began with a base of Old Olive and layered with Very Vanilla and topped with a piece of white that has been stamped with Autumn Damask Background Stamp in Memento Cantaloupe.

Next I've made a panel of olive and topped with white.  On this I've stamped the large squarish medallion from Lace Medallion Labels in Memento Desert Sand.

Across the bottom of the panel I've attached a piece of green satin ribbon and topped it with yellow satin ribbon.  The sentiment is also from Lace Medallion Labels, stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and cut out with Spellbinders Fancy Framed Tags Two (sponged with a little Memento Cantaloupe) and popped up on foam tape.

To add some pop to the lace medallion, I've stamped the Marigolds from Seeds of Summer in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured them with Copics (Y21, Y35, Y38, G20, G24, G28).  They've been cut out with scissors and popped up on foam tape in the centre of the medallion.

To finish I've just added a little paper piercing to the corners of the lace panel.

I'm also entering this into this week's CASE Study Challenge!

I created my card on a base of Very Vanilla and layered with Chocolate Chip and some MME Sunshine DP.  I've stamped the sentiment from Ask, Seek, Knock in Memento Rich Cocoa onto Very Vanilla and then gone over the words ASK, SEEK and KNOCK with Gold Spica.  I've cut it out with Large Oval Nestabilities and matted it with Chocolate Chip cut with Floral Oval Nestabilities and then matted it again with some Beeswax Bazzill cut with Labels 23 Nestabilities.  To embellish I've used some small ZVA flowers and cut a flourish from the Spellbinders Jewel Flowers and Flourishes die set.  I've cut the larger flourish into smaller pieces to accent around the flowers.  I've made sure the flowers don't fall off by gluing them with Clear Gel Glue!

Purple Butterfly

Hello Everyone!!  Today I've made a card for a friend of mine having a birthday this week who loves PURPLE!  I also had a chance to play with some new toys, so that's always fun......and NO SCHOOL to run back and forth to because it's school holiday time!!  Yay!!!  Now if only they'd stop fighting......  :P

I've used a base of purple bazzill and then a piece of aqua bazzill that is only just big enough to cover behind the Lace Background stamp.

I've then stamped the Lace Background Stamp in Memento Rich Cocoa onto Very Vanilla card and cut it out with scissors.  Around this I've added a piece of ivory crochet lace and topped it with lavender ribbon.  I've then stamped the sentiment from Grand Sentiments in Rich Cocoa and cut it out with Resplendent Rectangles Nestabilities and matted with purple bazzill cut with the next largest Resplendent Rectangles die.  Next I've stamped the butterfly from Grand Sentiments in Memento Rich Cocoa onto a piece of Prima Meadow Lark DP and cut it out with scissors.  The butterfly has been glued on top of a pearl flourish and I've added a purple bow to the ribbon.

Colourful Thanks

Hello Everyone!  Today I've got another tutorial on the Flourishes Blog explaining how to do Copic Tip-to-tip technique and includes all the colours that I've used on my card.  :)

To create my card, I've begun with a base of Pumpkin Pie and layered with white, Old Olive and some MME Howdy Doody paper.  Next I've added a strip of more MME paper and matted it with Old Olive.  I've stamped the flower image from Flourishes Autumn Blossoms stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black onto blending card, coloured with Copic Markers and cut it out with Labels 1 Nestabilities.  I've framed it with Pumpkin Pie cut with Decorative Labels 1 Nestabilities.  Across the top I've added a piece of faux suede ruffled ribbon.  The sentiment is from the same set and has been cut with Fancy Framed Tags 2 Shapeabilities with the matching mat in Old Olive.  To finish I've added a few Kaisercraft Chino Pearls.
