Just Us Girls #286...Photo Inspiration Week

Hey everyone,

 

Today's card was created for this week's Just Us Girls challenge.  This week is Photo Challenge Week:

 

                                      

 

I recently purchased some goodies online, and I just had to break them in.  I'm always on the lookout for flower stamps so I can use my Copic markers (plus it's something I can do during my lunch hour at work).  :)

 

My card:

  

 

I was inspired by all the beautiful flowers from the picture above.  When I was growing up, my mom love to decorate the living room with fresh flowers she would hand pick from our garden.  Even though she is no longer with me, her inspiration lives on.

 

Card Recipe:

 

Stamps: Stampendous Bowl Bouquet, SU! Wonderful Mother

Paper: Blending Card by X-Press It

Ink: Memento Black, Copic markers

Accessories: Pretty in Pink ribbon,

Freshly Made Sketches #85 & Dynamic Duos One Year Anniversary

Happy Sunday,

I would like to wish all the Mom's a Happy Mother's Day!  I'm having company coming over today, so I wanted to post my card before they arrive!  The fabulous sketch is from Narelle over at Freshly Made Sketches, and I picked a past Dynamic Duos color combo, Regal Rose and Basic Grey, since they are celebrating their One Year Anniversary!  YAY!

My card:

The base is Whisper White, followed by Basic Grey cardstock.  The only grey patterned paper I had was this polka dot by Echo Park.  I embossed the strip of Regal Rose cardstock that is on top of the card with Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder.  This is one of my favorite folders..so elegant and perfect for a Mother's Day card.  I stamped the leaves with Memento London Fog ink.  The gorgeous flowers were stamped with Regal Rose ink.  I stamped the flower once on a piece of paper, and the 2nd time onto the card, to give it a lighter shade.  I also used pink polka dot patterned paper for the 3 flags.  The sentiment is from SU! Wonderful Mother. To finish off my card, I added 2 small pearls to the flowers. 

This card is for my mother-in-law.. I hope she likes it.

Dynamic Duos #48

Happy Monday,

I have a card to share with you for this week's Dynamic Duos #48.  We were asked to use Bashful Blue and Pumpkin Pie:

My card:



The base is Whisper White, followed by Bashful Blue cardstock, which was embossed with the Lacy Brocade EF.  I purposely left the top left-hand open so the person receiving this card can admire the beautiful embossed cardstock.  It's so much prettier in person!  The bottom patterned paper is from SU! Just Add Cake DSP (retired).  The image is from SU! Wonderful Mother.  I dusted off the Fabulous Florets Stamp Set from my shelf and stamped the flowers with Pumpkin Pie.  To finish off my card, I added a pearl in the middle of each flower, 2 rhinestones and 2 bows using Bashful Blue ribbon.
