Here is the inspiration photo:






And here's my card:

I was inspired by all the polaroid-like 'Fabulous frames' cards and so I decided to make my own shape with a Labels 1 Nestie.  I hand cut the leaves and stamped them with Delightful dahlia images.  Happy hopping!

Supplies; Stamps - Vintage labels, Delightful dahlia, Mat stack 1 (sentiment), Paper - Harvest gold, Spring moss, Summer sunrise bitty dot, Songbird PP (Prima), SU PP, Other - Labels 1 die, Beautiful blooms II #1 die, Filigree border die, Melon berry button, twine, distress ink, melon berry ink.

PTI blog hop - floral

Is there a better theme than that?  I don't think so!

I started by stamping BB: textstyle in antique linen distress ink.  Then I diecut blooms and played around with placement.  The flowers were sponged with some barn door distress ink (I would have rather a pink tone but don't own any - hmmm... should remedy that ;)  Then I stamped the leaves, attached the flower heads and turned them up a bit, and added faux stitching. 

My first try with seam binding - I scrunched a little too much I think.  A button and Tiny tag to finish. 

Am SO very excited for this hop.  I can't wait to see everyone's creations!

5 x 7 TY

I felt like I was getting in a rut with the standard A2 cards, so tried something different.  5 x 7'' and oh my - it was a lot of space to work with.

It came out a bit bottom heavy - I think I'm all cured of my wish for big canvasses for awhile!

Pink and Vellum and Layers

A try at a more layered card.  I have such a hard time layering patterns and shapes.  I can't help it, my mind cannot derail from clean and simple on most days.

This is a 4 1/2'' square card.  The flowers were cut out from a piece of vellum that I stamped with versamark and heat embossed with clear powder for a little more texture.

I wanted to make a soft card, but decided it needed some darker accent so it wouldn't get too washed out.
