Handmade For Spring

Hello again!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Papertrey Ink, Kraft And Colored Pencils, WOW! Embossing Powder, Spring, Simon Says Work It Wednesday, Green and Scrapy Land, Anything Goes!

I fell in love with Melissa's designs so I CASED it somewhat.

 
 


 
Using White Embossing Powder I heat set the floral image from Papertrey Ink's Botanical Blocks III stamp set on to an MFT Cross Stitched Rectangles die.  The image was then colored with my Derwent Water Color Pencils, but I did not add water to this technique.  I also used the Daydreamer and Flower Favorites stamp sets.  My Designer Paper is Green Tea Leaves also by PTI.  
 

 
I stitched the Vellum overlay on to my Designer Paper.  Love that accent!  The Vellum was trimmed using a Penny Black Border Edge die.  I also added a bunch of white dots using this FANTASTIC White Pigment Ink from Brutus/Monroe.  OMGoodness this is the BEST White ink I have ever used!  It's so creamy and yummy!  Check out this ink HERE!  
 
 
 
 
I tell ya, this stuff is YUMMY!
 
Thanks for coming by, I love it when you pop in!
 
Enjoy~~

  10. Love it! I don't why but flower stamps intimidate me! Unless I am cutting and shaping and making dimensional flowers. But composing them on a card....this really motivates me to just start coloring flowers then add like you do!

  22. Beautifully done, Donna, and love the vellum overlay on the bold Green Tea Leaves. Is that white pigment ink a mess to clean off your stamps?
