Razzleberry Fifth Avenue Floral

I must be on a Rich Razzleberry "kick" as the card I made yesterday also used this as the primary color! This card was made at my stamp club last week. It uses one of my favorite sets, Fifth Avenue Floral which is retiring:( The Movers and Shapers die was used to create the "cut-out". That die is retiring, too. This round of retirements, I had a lot of my favorites that are retiring. I guess I'll have to find some new faves.

Fifth Avenue Floral

I love the colors in this card which were inspired by the designer paper used from the Pocket Full of Posies pack. The base is Early Espresso cardstock and a panel of Eggplant Envy was dry embossed using the Flower Garden Embossing Folder. I stamped the flowers from Fifth Avenue Floral on Vanilla cardstock in Eggplant and Baja Breeze ink and layered onto a piece of Baja Breeze cardstock. Happy Birthday was stamped in Early Espresso and flowers were stamped off once and then stamped on the Vanilla cardstock to make them faint. I added pearls to the side of the sentiment piece. The sketch challenge called for ribbon, but when I added that, it looked like a present!  And, that was not the look I wanted on this card:)  The pieces of Vanilla cardstock were sponged with Crumb Cake ink. The sketch can be found at Stamping 411, SSC#240.

Fifth Avenue Floral

I combined two of my favorites (well, my favorites at this moment!)...Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set and the Daisy Die for the Big Shot. I stamped the flowers in Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron, Melon Mambo and Old Olive. In the middle of the flowers is dazzling diamonds glitter. I used a Summer Sun corduroy button for the center of the daisy (these corduroy buttons are retiring at the end of June!). This first card is a one layer card, but the second one I stepped up a bit by adhering the stamped panel to Bermuda Bay card stock. Which one do you like?

Thanks for stopping by-

Watercolor Wonder

This is another card that was made at stamp club on Monday. The flowers from 5th Avenue flower were embossed in white and then I used the Taken with Teal crayon and blender pens to color them in. I love the shading you can get with the watercolor crayons. I had not used them for awhile and forgot how much I like them! Also, coloring is very relaxing:)

Thanks for looking! Have a great day...the sun is finally shining here:)
