Last pink petals, for now

I say it is the last pink petals card, but you never know. I couldn’t bring myself to cut off the petals so I will have to find an envelope to fit or give the card without an envelope.

I did receive some new stamps today so hopefully there will be some new sets featured very soon.

Supplies:

Stamps: Pick a Petal, Graceful Words
Inks: Regal Rose, Always Artichoke markers and stamp pads
Cardstock: Whisper White, Regal Rose, Always Artichoke

Pink petals again?

I really thought this would be the last pink, pick a petal card, but no, I have another that I designed for my Open House tomorrow night. Perhaps that will be my last. I do have some blue and yellow petals stamped and cut out, but not made into cards yet. The petals of this one were inked with regal rose and rose red markers then matted in rose red cardstock.

Supplies:

Stamps: Pick a Petal, Stem Sayings
Inks: Regal Rose, Rose Red markers and stamp pads
Cardstock: Whisper White, Regal Rose, Rose Red
Also: Stampin’ dimensionals

More pretty petals

While I was sick in bed, I had this set, my markers and plenty of time to colour. I coloured each petal in Regal Rose and then each little flower in Rose Red. Another day I cut them out and it wasn’t until I was up and about again that I made it into a card. To make the background I stamped the canvas stamp in Pretty in Pink and then added the little flowers and the Rose Red sponging.

Made my day

I am having fun with Pick a Petal, borrowed from a friend. For this flower I embossed the petals and centre in clear embossing powder before sponging real red around the centre part of the petals and rose red on the ends of the petals as well as the centre circle. The background is stamped with the flower from Background Basics and the stem sentiment is embossed in white e.p. I stuck the centre down and the petals that have been trimmed but the remaining petals are not glued down.

Purple Petals

We have had a lot of sickness at our place over the last two weeks resulting in my daughter and I finally visiting the doctor last week to find out why we were not getting better. I now have medication and we both need to continue resting.

So, even though I had made a few new cards before I got sick they didn’t make it up here. This is one which I was quite happy with in just the vanilla and eggplant. I am not very happy with the photograph however as it was very hard to get the colour and focus accurate. I pulled out the scallop edged scissors to repeat the scallop design in the petals and used the eggplant marker to add dots in the scallops and add a little flower to the sentiment.
