What a fun stamp set! I stamped three of the images from this set, colored with Copics, cut out and popped up two of them on my Spellbinders long rectangle, scalloped die. Then, added the hat at the bottom. I used a Cheery Lynn Designs fanciful flourish and big, felt flower I found in the craft section at Michael's. The cardstock is MFP aged sunflower, mossy sage, and old world. Designer paper is from The Mariposa Stack. Hope you'll hop along with us.

Tuesday Throwdown-Neutrals

It's time for the Tuesday Throwdown challenge #81 and the theme is 'neutrals'. My image provided by Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps is called Flowers All Over.  Because it is a silhouette, I went with white, black, and gray colors. I think it makes a pretty, feminine, birthday card or could be used for many occasions. I did her big hat out of the box. I don't know about you but I love the hats ladies used to wear.
Hope you'll join us this week.

Recipe:
Stamps:-Digital image by Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps-Flowers All Over

I Need a Squeeze-FOSTV

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy...that's what this card happens to be. It was really easy and I love it as a CAS card. Of course, you can see where the Lemon Squeezy came about.

My card was made for the Friends of Speedy TV challenge #3 to use colored pencils only.  Geez, it had been a while since I got mine out, and that would be since I started using Copics. So, I reached for my PrismaColor watercolor pencils and some watercolor paper and discovered once again how much fun it is to use them.

My stamp is from the Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company set called Pucker Up! I'm using a Cheery Lynn Designs die called Dainty Dutch Deco Frame and I really love it. It has a center piece which I didn't use on this card. I love the intricate details on this die.
 My recipe is listed below. Hope you'll join our challenge this week. It can be found at Home of Speedy TV.
