Bloom Of Good Health

 If you don't have the right color of background paper for your project, no problem just make it!  I used a stencil from Stampendous and sprays to make a background that matched my flowers.  I'm entering this in the Simon Says Stamp challenge "In My Garden," wish me luck!

1.  Place the Southwest Stencil on a white panel and spray with Picked Raspberry and Marmalade sprays.

2.  Place different sizes of Fitted Frames Dies on the sprayed panel and run through your die cut machine.

3.  Layer pieces on a white panel and glue down.

4.  Stamp sentiment in the center with black ink and emboss with clear embossing powder.

5.  Glue to an orange card.

6.  Stamp flowers and butterfly on watercolor paper with black ink and emboss with clear embossing powder. 

7.  Color with Zig pens and cut out.

8.  Apply glue to the white edges of the flowers and sprinkle with glitter. Glue to card as shown.

Succulent Pitcher

We now have green grass and the trees are flowering, I love seeing everything bloom again!  So this week the Stampendous Design Team is sharing flowers and plants that are in a container to celebrate Spring.  My card is using the Succulent Pitcher and when I lived in California these were everywhere and grew no matter how much you neglected them.  I'm now in Oklahoma and succulents don't like to grow here, I've tried twice and I'm sad to say they didn't survive.

Here is how my card was made;

1.  Stamp Succulent Pitcher and Hello (from the Happy Birds Set) on white paper and color with colored pencils. Cut out and set aside.
2.  Place Southwest Background Stencil on a white panel and spray with orange and pink sprays.
3.  Use the Fitted Frames A Set to diecut a frame.  Glue frame to a green card.
4.  Glue on Hello and the Succulent Pitcher as shown.
