Happy Birthday with Crushed Curry

It seems March is a busy month for birthdays!  Today is my friend Shannon's birthday so I made her this card using Crushed Curry, one of the newest Stampin Up "In colors".

I stamped the daisys in crushed curry along the bottom of the card.  I wanted a few more flowers to fill in between so I stamped off with the crushed curry which creates a nice dimensional look without being too busy.

I finished the card by spraying with the Pearl Glimmer mist.  Using the glimmer mist tends to warp the paper a bit if sprayed to heavily but Stampin Up has a new product coming out which I hope gives the same "sparkle" without the warp.  I'll let you know when I try it out!

Congratulations.....

Todays card was inspired by a sketch I saw over at Karen Giron's blog.  I am always up for new sketch ideas and this one gave me the idea to use the "congratulations" stamp in the Well Scripted Set.  It's a long stamp, perfect for the saying for this card.

I used my prisma color pencils with gamsol to color the flowers.

Happy Monday!

Chocolate Bunny and Gable Green

This weeks challenge on my demo blog uses the Stampin Up Color "Gable Green".  Now this is probably one of my least favorite colors but I think it turned out really cute. 

I have embossed the bunny in clear embossing powder on Chocolate Chip Cardstock to make him look like a real chocolate bunny (Thanks Kathy) and then I used my scallop scissors and took a "bite" off of his ear (Thanks Keri). I cut a piece of Gable Green cardstock and cut individual blades of grass and went back and cut a few on the diagional.  I also used my daubers and shaded a little Gable Green around the edge of the shimmery cardstock.

I'll be working in my craftroom today as I have an album for hire to complete and plan or doing a little organizing along the way!  It's a beautiful day outside so I hope to sneak out for just a bit!

Enjoy!

Happy Easter!

I don't know where Florida went but I sure wish it would come back!  It has been chilly here all day and supposed to be in the twenties tonight!  I am SO ready for spring and some nice weather!  I'm glad they decided to make heaters for Florida because mine is cranking tonight!

I thought I would spring into some warmer weather and make an Easter card with the Stampin Up Chocolate Bunny stamp I received today.  He is too cute.  I have a few other plans for a couple other projects so I"ll post them as soon as I get them done.

Here is the cute little card I made tonight..  TGIF tomorrow!!!
