In Full Bloom

Could not get a decent scan on this, to show how pretty it actually is. 
In Full Bloom was one of the first Stampin Up sets I bought.  I've had so much fun with it.  This was made using Wausau Ivory c/s for the base and SU Pretty Pink for the frame.  The soft, pretty stripes background was from my extensive computer DSP collection (Filed under Stripes, Flwr 2 - note to self).  The leaves were stamped onto a 2 3/4" square of ivory and colored using Copic G21 & YG61.  That was affixed to the pink piece.  The flower head was stamped onto white and colored using layers of Zig Baby PinkMarker (another first purchase - years ago and it still works).  The petals were touched lightly with  Stickles Stardust glitter and it has Gold Liquid Pearl centers.  It was fussy cut and then attached Flat to the stem, with a dimensional toward the top so part of it stands up off the page.  I like that type of effect. The adorable bee was colored with Daffodil Delight and Black, fussy cut and had his wings glitzed.  Attached a framed sentiment and you're done.

White Christmas

My Stampin Up Gal, Amy, came over today to deliver my newest toys and spent some time with me making this adorable card.
This was done using SU new White Christmas polymer set.  Trees were stamped on Craft color c/s using Chocolate Chip, and then filled in a little with the Choc. Chip marker.  (Most images on this set are outline type).  Merry Christmas was stamped using Black.  Cardinals were stamped with Cherry Cobbler and then filled in with the Cherry Cobbler Marker.  The 'snow' base was fun - we used Stazon Opaque White and a dauber to 'smudge' it around.  Snow was placed strategically on tree branches and at base using the SU white pen.  Snowflakes were put in using the same pen.  Affix brown brads, put on dimensionals and attach to Craft card base.  Fun, Cute card.  Thanks Amy.
