Flowers

Flowers Everywhere!

I have two cards today. One is for a wedding and the second is another sympathy card.

 This is a wedding card for an older couple, so the usual bride and groom didn't seem right.

I made all the flowers and leaves using a combination of punches and dies from Martha Stewart, Marianne, Cheery Lynn, and Nellie Snellen. The oval dies and Anna Griffen embossing folder are from Spellbinders. The stamped sentiment is from SU! The colored card stock is SU!, and the white is PTI, and Neenah.

It's been embellished with tiny pearls, brads, and satin ribbon.

This is the last sympathy card I'll be making for awhile....at least I hope so!

I have no idea where the poppy came from, but the embossing folder is Anna Griffen from Spellbinders. The oval die is also from Spellbinders. The corner dies are Cheery Lynn. It's been embellished with satin ribbon, a pearl bead and flower charm.

Have a great day!

Roses!

Just Peachy!

I love coloring flowers! This card was made for the wedding of an older couple.

I have no idea from whom I bought this image...nothing in the file name gives me any clue! I love it, though! It's actually a merge of two identical images. The rose leaf die and pretty frame die is from Spellbinders.  . The Anna Griffen embossing folder is theirs, also.
The card stock is SU! Guava, Pirouette Pink, and Garden Green, and the white is from PTI.
I've embellished it with satin ribbon, a bead, and an engraved heart charm.

I've entered this in the color challenge on The Ribbon Girl blog. We are to use peach or orange. The card did not photograph true to color. It is actually between peach and orange.

Thanks for looking!

Mo's Challenge #193

Celebrating Love!

Oops! Time got away from me, and I'm very late in posting my card for this week's Challenge!

My younger sister is visiting from Dallas, so there have been a lot of family activities to occupy my thoughts and time.

 

 

Anja is our hostess for this week, and she has chosen the theme of  "Love" for Mo's Challenge.

This card is one of three that I made for our daughter-in-law to choose from for a wedding she and our son were  attending.  Mo has images of three wedding couples, so I used a different one on each card.

Tools: Copics, Cuttlebug with Anna Griffin embossing folder and Nestibilities die, Fiskar's punch

Papers: SU! Lavender and Gable Green, Neenah whit, PTI white

Mo's Challenge #192

'F' is For.......

  Mo's Challenge this week is to make a card or project using at least one of Mo's great images with a theme or element that begins with an 'F'.

My 'F' is for formal, but it could also be for frame,  flourish, or flowers!

Our daughter-in-law needed a card for a wedding she and our son were attending. I made three different cards using Mo's three wedding couple images so that she could choose the one she liked.

 The one above is the one she chose!

Image: "Married" from Mo's Digital Pencil

Tools: Copics, Gold Metallic pen, Spica pens, Cuttlebug with Embossing folder and Marianne swirl die, Glue dots

Papers: Neenah white, PTI white, Gold metallic CS

Embellishments: Flowers from WOC, Tiny pearl cabochons.

Here's another, and I'll show you the the third one next week!

I used Core'dination paper and my new Anna Griffin embossing folder for the background. It was lightly sanded to reveal the under-lying color. I'd never used this paper before, and I really like the effect.

Inside: "May your hearts still be dancing long after the music has stopped."

Image: "Bride and Groom (Dancing)" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Computer-generated sentiment

Tools: Copics, Cuttlebug with Anna Griffin embossing folder, Nestibilities ovals, and Cheery Lynn flourish corner dies, Nellie Snellen Rose Leaf embossing punch set, Sanding block

Papers: SU! Rose Romance and Garden Green, Neenah white, Core'dinations CS

Embellishments: Flowers from WOC
