Celebrate with a Bouquet

Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World 

My approach to an inspiration photo is probably too literal. I really love making flowers and the ones on the fine tooth comb were too beautiful to resist.

I used a number of different punches and a stamp and die cut set. 

Please see ingredients under the close up.

Orchids

Inspiration Challenge at SCS IC375 ~ An Angel at My Table 

What a romantic site!

I was inspired by two orchid plants from An Angel at My Table websit for the Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.

I used a Marvy pansy punch to make the orchids by trimming the punched pieces to look more like the orchid petals. I also used the memory box tulip petals dies for the centers of the orchids. All parts were punched out of shimmer white card stock and painted with “twinkling H2O’s Pink Azalea” and LuminArte Black Cherry and Sunflower for the center portions. Several styluses were used and a QuicKutz cookie cutter Vine die.

This card is also for the

Mixed Media Challenge at SCS - MIX2 It's Not Hard To Resist 

Embossing Resist technique

I first stamped the damask background onto white card stock and heat embossed with white powder. I then stamped the script and sponged the entire panel with Canary and Pink inks from pads.
