Cover-a-card Round Floral CC078

Cover-a-card Ornate Floral CC077

Sweet Plaid Border F8594

All Occasion II CL307

To make the card I stamped Round Floral background stamp as my card base. I stamped Sweet Plaid Border on cardstock and cut it out. It looks like ribbon to me so I used as ribbon. I pleated it and stitched in place with DMC floss. I did adhere it in spots to hold in place and then I poked holes with my needle so it's easier to sew.

The beautiful flowers came from Ornate Floral CAC...you can see it as a full background on the card I did yesterday.  I cut them out, inked the edges and adhered on top of each other with foam tape. The little page pebble is from Making Memories.

Those All Occasion sentiments are perfect to have...there is a little bit of everything there.

Cover-a-card Damask CC081

Budding Branch E8572

My Little Chickadees C8589

Fabulous Friend CL318

To make the card I stamped the Budding Branch right over the stamped Damask background. I colored the branch with Prismacolor pencils. The little bird from My Little Chickadees is stamped on patterned paper and cut out. I added glue to the body and sprinkled glitter over the top.

That is all for me this week. Other DT members will have more cards to show tomorrow.

Cover-a-Card Canvas CC073

This I Know E3614

Dotty Heart 1 D8514

Fabulous Friend CL318

To make this card I stamped the background with Cover-a-Card Canvas. I used my sewing machine to sew the background, border and the Dotty Heart. I stamped the Dotty Heart on cardstock and cut it out and I added a little flower with a jewel. 

Cover-a-Card Ornate Floral CC077

Dot Tag Small E8511

All Occasion I CL306

How about this fun Ornate Floral background. I love it. To make the card I stamped my card base with the stamp. I added strips of punched paper at the top, ribbon and this new adorable Dot Tag Small. I am in love with all these tags and there are several to choose from. I stamp the tag on cardstock, cut it out and punch a hole at the top. This tag has a little scalloped border on the bottom. I stamped the tag, lightly, on patterned paper and cut out the bottom and adhered it to this tag.

That is all for today...I will have two more cards on Thursday.

Daffodil Bouquet F8576

Love Score D8532

Lg Solid Dot tag F8530

All Occasion II CL307

To make the card I stamped the Lg Solid Dot tag on cardstock and cut it out. I stamped Love Score randomly around the edges. Daffodil Bouquet is stamped, colored with watercolor pencils and cut out. I attached the Daffodils to the tag with a little clip from Making Memories. The sentiment is stamped on left over cardstock that was stamped with my all time favorite Cover-a-Card Wood Grain CC34.

Bird Balloon F1822

All Occasion I CL306

To make the card I stamped the Bird Balloon on die cut cardstock. I left the image plain and I stamped the image again on patterned paper and cut out the clouds. I tucked the little bird pin at the top with the sentiment.

Swirl Lower HS323

Cover-a-Card Canvas CC073

To make the card I sprayed Cover-a-Card Canvas with Glimmer Mist and stamped the doily. The Swirl Lower letters are stamped on cardstock and cut out. I sprayed the butterflies - Silhouette 15 D5565 with Glimmer Mist and cut them out. 

That is all for today...I will have more on Wednesday and Thursday.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge - Purple }

Hello and welcome to another Impression Obsession DT challenge. We have challenges every other week - DETAILS HERE - if you play you could win a $25 gift certificate to the Impression Obsession store.

Purple challenge!!! I love purple and I don't use it often enough. I am using all NEW Images that will be released at CHA on January 29.

My background is stamped with New Cover-a-card Damask CC081. I sprayed the stamp with Shimmerz spray in Grape Escape and stamped on the card. I sprayed the white crepe paper with the same spray and made the little ruffle on the bottom and the rose. I stamped the New Dot Tag Small E8511 on cardstock and cut it out. The leaves for the rose came from the same tag stamp that was a bit too dark the first time so I stamped it again to get the desired shade of purple. The embossed cardstock is Core'dinations that I sanded to reveal the purple core. The sentiment is from New All Occasion I CL306 stamp set.

I hope you'll take the time to visit the other designers' blogs for inspiration!
