Bloom where you're Planted

Hello everyone.... I made this card for a few challenges - Splitcoast Stampers featured stamper, sketch #325 and Free 4 All F4A57 (hello sunshine). Elaine Hughes (aka Quixotic) has the honor this week. She has a most fabulous gallery full of beautiful works of art. I cased this adorable Magnolia card called "Tilda - Mon Amie".

I coloured the Magnolia stamp image "Tilda with Sunflower" with prisma colour pencil crayons and gamsol. I was happy to use up some very old designer papers and a chipboard sentiment that I have had in my stash for ages.

The Free 4 All challenge was to be inspired by the sun. Well sunflowers need sun to grow and they are one of my favourite flowers.

Thanks for stopping in,

Hugs.... Pat

You're on my Mind

Designer paper is from My Minds Eye (green/blue sunbursts) and the green checkered is from Amuse.

Pleated Happy Birthday

Happy Monday everyone... We are having a very rainy, dreary day here in Nanaimo, B.C. I am hoping the sun will peak through at some point - but the weather man says it is going to rain all week long :(

Here is another card I want to share with you - I made it late last night. I combined three challenges - yesterday's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast Stampers - FS153 - WeeBeeStampin (Wendy). I cased this adorable card "Pumpkin Emma". You were to change at least three things - I changed the image, colours and pleated the bottom panel.

My card qualifies for the challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges - to make a BIRTHDAY card, plus the challenge over at Just Magnolia - to add PLEATING to your card.

My adorable Magnolia image "Tilda with Sunflower" was stamped with Stazon jet black onto Bristol Vellum paper and coloured with Prismacolour pencil crayons and gamsol. Image was matted with Kraft and More Mustard. I used the Stampin Up ticket corner punch on the Kraft.

Card Size is 5 x 6.5. Base card panel is a textured cream white. I pleated the DP then sponged and sanded the pleats. Ran the top cream panel through the Cuttlebug with the Divine swirls folder - I thought it matched the swirls in the Fall Dp. Attached the CB panel and pleated panel to 4.75 x 6.25 More Mustard Panel. Punched out a Scalloped border with Martha Stewart punch. Stamped sentiment onto More Mustard - cut out with oval Spellbinders. Cut out scalloped mat from Kraft. Sponged edges with Close to Cocoa. Sewed all edges. Added the mini copper brads to center of Sunflower. Tied on Ribbon and assembled card. Completed inside of card.


Recipe:

Stamps - Magnolia Rubberstamps - Tilda with Sunflower, Stampendous - Impressions ever time
Ink - Stazon jet black, Stampin Up - soft sky and close to cocoa
Paper - Stampin Up - More Mustard, non SU kraft and white, Paper Company - Cream White, Recollections - Autumn Fall mat pack, Bristol Vellum
