May Flowers…enjoy!

I was collecting ideas yesterday online and one thing led to another and I found myself creating flowers!  This was fun…used an old Sizzix die that had never been used….two old Quickutz leaves…the lovely swiss dots embossing folder…the flowers and leaves are all Stampin Up card-stock….the pot is Prism card-stock, stamped w/SU’s sanded background stamp (love that stamp)….twill is from Technique Tuesday…the tag is a QK die also…the word stamp, “enjoy” is from an old Hero set that had several small stamps w/words…love those!!!

Here’s the blog I found the instructions on…. Stephanie Luman ….she makes it so easy!

Go look at this flower pot card… Cindy Van Sluys … I love this one too! Wish I had this stamp set…boo hoo

And this one….oh my,  it’s totally colorful and fun! Anitsirk ….it will make you smile and want to go make one!

I really had fun w/the flower bouquet in the bottom left corner.  Picked up a small stem type punch at Outstamping Designs in W. Des Moines last week and for once I used something right away after purchasing!!!!  I punched and adhered little flowers to make baby’s breath to accent the larger flower that is made from the EK Success medium retro flower and the Martha Stewart Hydrangea punch. The leaves are the Martha S. rose leaf punch.

I colored Tilda with copic markers… R81, R83, R,85 & R89 

The “for you”  phrase is from Quickutz cookie cutter dies…

yep,  that’s the Fiskars apron lace punch down the right in white card-stock…love that punch!

The pattern papers are from Memory Box…6×6 set…

do you think?????do you think?????

no more buttons for me! lol  A friend made a similar atc to the one on the right and I have the same stamp, so I just had to ask her if I could transmutate her idea and create some atc’s.  The heart and lace are stamps from Paper Bag Studios …the buttons are just old ones from my stash.  Canvas background is an old Sonlight Impressions big stamp…love it!  Recognize the old Karen Foster patter paper on the left?  I think I have a stash of it! lol
