I am entering today's card into the Challenge at Stamp TV, What's Your Name? (use the letter of your first name) and for the Challenge at the Mod Squad Blog, To CASE A Card.
I found a beautiful card on Pinterest and tracked down the gal's Blog, Simply Sweet Stamping, by Val. HERE is her original post and card. Scroll down a bit to find her card.
Here is my creation:
A while back I won a Grab Bag of stamps from Gina K Designs and I got 2 beautiful stamps from the Dogwood & Butterfly set. The original flowers are framing an oval shape. I stamped several flowers and then fussy cut them out, coloring them with Copic Markers. I used the small branch image and stamped that twice directly onto the Kraft card stock base. Then I just added all of my beautiful Dogwood flowers. I also popped a few up on 3D dots to add some dimension. Then using the leaf stamp from the Stamper's Favorites set, I did the same thing, popping a few up to add dimension after coloring with Copic Markers and fussy cutting them out. The sentiment is from the Friends set and works perfectly with my flowers. I also stamped the small branch on the inside of my card and added a bit of Cotton Candy Pink Stickles.
I was quite happy to be coloring flowers on this chilly winter afternoon. We are under a Blizzard Watch/Warning/Actual Storm. We are predicted to get 10-16 inches of snow while the rest of the state will be getting 2-3 FEET! Oy Vay! I think I will just keep coloring flowers and thinking of Spring! Ha!
Be safe and cozy wherever you may be!
Enjoy~~
Oh my gosh, this is just GORGEOUS!! I love how you used the kraft, and then set the flowers up with dimensionals. And that pink in the flowers just pops against the kraft. Beautiful!!!!
