A Flowery Challenge

Flowers are always a favourite!  I love stamping and punching them as you might tell.  Well, flowers and butterflies....oh and the occasional dragonfly.  Let's face it...I like stamping and punching :-)

I made this card with the  Paper Shelter challenge in mind (Flowers!) but still using the colours from the Color Throwdown Challenge I entered earlier:

So I'm going to enter this in both challenges :-)

Petite Petals

This is using the Petite Petals and Woodgrain stamps from Stampin' Up.  

It's a 5x7" card which is slightly bigger than the woodgrain background stamp so I've hidden the join with a cunning border which turned out to be a handy place to hang my sentiment :-)

I've glammed the flowers up with perfect pearls and a bit of glamour dust, just to add sparkle.

Hope you like it.

CAS Colours and Sketches

Evening all!

I've been checking out (some might say stalking) The Other Fickle Pixie's challenge blogs and thought I'd join in with this quick card for CAS Colours and Sketches.  I'm also starting the catch up cos she's been very busy on the challenge scene recently and I...well...haven't!

So....

A very CAS card done in the colours of Elegant Eggplant, Crushed Curry and Garden Green (nearly!).  I layered the flower trail of Petite Petals up and blinged a few of them too.  Finished it off with an inked edge and the happy birthday greeting from Butterfly basics!  One of my favourite sets at the mo.

Now I think I'm going to try a few more colour combinations!

Flowers!

Morning!

A quick post before we're out to the garden centre again!  We're determined to have thegarden sorted for summer!

I've used Petite Petals and Gorgeous Grunge from Stampin' Up to make these CAS cards.  I'm entering this card in the Flowers Challenge over on Wags n Whiskers.

Melon Mambo

I may have hit the grunge a little hard on the first one (above) so I laid off it for this one.  I took the sentiment from Butterfly Basics.  It's a good size!  I'm entering this card in the Space Challenge on Inkspirational.  

Cajun Craze

Right - off to garden centre!

Ombre?

Ok - I've heard of ochre, but ombre?  That conjures up images of mexican bandits in a spaghettii western!! 

So after admitting my ignorance (and having a quick google) I got the "shady" reference made by CAS-ology and made these for their Ombre Challenge this week.

It's cheating a little bit as these colours come perfectly blended courtesy of the local DIY store. I've punched the butterflies out of paint sample cards :-) 

Pretty in Pink

 Likewise with the dragonflies....

Wisteria Wonder

 ...and with Stampin' Up's Petite Petal punch.

Early Espresso

So I hope I've interpreted this correctly!

I'm entering these in the following challenges too:

Clean &Simple Challenge on Cute Card Thursday
Up, Up and Away Challenge on Less is More
Things with Wings Challenge on Uniko.

Thanks for looking
