<br />

It's the April Showers set and I love all the versatility that it has!<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The <a href="http://flourishes.org/2011/06/beauty-in-the-spotlight/">Bring Back Beautiful challenge</a> is to only color a portion of your image. I die cut some large raindrops and colored them with copics to bring in the color. There's also a layer of Glossy Accents to give them a nice water like look. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Not totally loving this card...I had a hard time with the placement of those boots in relation to the sun/clouds. Looking at it now I think I should have put the cloud more directly over the falling droplets. Oh well. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Have a lovely Saturday! We took the baby to feed the ducks this morning.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's been a while since I've played along, but I had to try this one.

</div>I stamped the floral image several times to create a background pattern and colored in some of the flowers with a Copic to reduce some of the white space. The sentiment was stamped on a small strip of white and then it was dry embossed to give it some texture. I stamped and embossed a fringe like image with silver embossing tinsel and added a silver circle cut with a Spellbinders die to make a "mirror". The tulips were colored were colored with Copics and placed on top of the silver "mirror".<br />

It has been forever since I've posted...having the baby catch a cold and then giving it to my husband and I really knocked the wind out of my sails for a while. Then those blogger issues. Ah well.<br />
<br />
So I finally got some mojo back and wanted to play along with <a href="http://splendidstamping.blogspot.com/2011/06/tgfs-royal-release-blog-hop-and-contest.html">TGF's Royalty contest</a>. Have you seen the June release? So cute!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I don't own any TGF princess/prince stamps so I decided to make a "Little Mermaid" inspired card with Syren crowned as the princess. She's more of a sassy princess as opposed to Ariel's sweetness so I chose some pretty papers in darker shades. Her hair and tail are paper pieced and she's wearing a little crown I made out of a corner punch. This is also the first time I've made a center step card. Super easy after watching the SCS tutorial.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love how this fun card turned out. The Little Mermaid has always been my favorite Disney cartoon!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

One for my Mom and one for my Grandma.<br />
<br />
First up, one for my mom.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh65dZWC9KZssJXP-uQVkWwL1UnekNN4_2YmVwlx_5wh1aFSD2PcgnRQoKH_6dXavGp-sN85hyCWQ1NHIYqPg6kTiev2RdSQIjtjWtHPaMbTZr6OI_BF_pnldDT4msD_z2MXlTqkDGh4F8f/s1600/IMG_4602.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh65dZWC9KZssJXP-uQVkWwL1UnekNN4_2YmVwlx_5wh1aFSD2PcgnRQoKH_6dXavGp-sN85hyCWQ1NHIYqPg6kTiev2RdSQIjtjWtHPaMbTZr6OI_BF_pnldDT4msD_z2MXlTqkDGh4F8f/s320/IMG_4602.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used some K& Company pp to cover the lower portion of the bag and some Bazzill cardstock to cover the top. I cut the scallop borders from vellum with a Sizzix die and layered them. The flourishes are cut from a Lifestyle Crafts die and the sentiment from the Flourishes Motherly Love set (Love that set!) is stamps and cut using a Spellbinders die. The finishing touch was a few Prima flowers and rhinestones.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next is one for my Grandma.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For this bag, I layered some papers from DCWV. I then added a vellum die cut doily, a Mat Stack 4 die shape that was stamped and embossed with Hero Arts Classic Fabric stamp, and lastly a die cut circle stamped with a sentiment from Motherly Love. Quick and simple.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

So there's been a lot of time devoted to comforting. One thing I did have to finish is a Mother's Day gift for my Grandma.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used the Modern Basics set from PTI to stamp the border.

I was inspired to make a card that kind of had a stained glass feel. Over at the Moxie Fab World, Cath is having a tissue paper challenge and thought that tissue paper might look like stained glass.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used a PTI butterfly die to cut out the butterflies and then backed them with tissue paper that I had blended with some ink. I think it does look a little like stained glass. After that I stamped the sentiment and drew my line frame. I punched butterflies from the tissue paper and arranged them on the card to fill in some of the white space. Love how it turned out!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I made a circle card this time cutting out circles using the Martha Stewart Circle cutter. I stamped the Classic Fabric background in Memento Dandelion ink and cut a circle shape from it. I used a punched doily border that I pleated to fit around the circle to embellish behind the yellow design. I embossed a Mat stack 4 image and added a circle stamped with a sentiment. Another punched border and a crochet trim was added to ground the Mat stack 4 image. I finished off with inking the edges with PTI tea dye duo and adding teal and white pearls.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used the Grand Labels 1 die to make a square shaped card. I also cut a smaller layer from a sheet of Basic Grey Sweet Threads patterned paper. The scalloped circle was also cut using Spellbinders dies and then the circle was embossed with a Quickutz embossing folder. Easter Anya was colored with Copics and placed on top of the embossed circle. The rolled roses were made using a MFT die and colored with some Glimmer Mists. Some layered ribbons and a stamped sentiment on a tag complete the card!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
