Transformation Tuesday #6

Updated Look/ Stephanie Gold

For my transformation I decided to give this Past card an updated lighter look. I went with the the CAS look.  Making the flowers smaller and limiting the background stripes. I also made the sentiment smaller.

Spot Color Word Die Cuts #320
Well hello all! I love flowers but on paper only...the real spring is killing me!
On to the challenge ...this challenge is to create a line background then die cut out a word ...then color reinsert finish card. Well that is  the basic direction. This from our weekly host designer Betsy V. of  course she had lots more to say and show! This was fun to do... While stamping my peonies I mask them to give them a bit of depth. Using the "mom" die cut cut was a bit of a risk b/c it is on the thinner side but it does height and fits flower theme so nicely.

Forget Me Not Friends

Papertrey Ink

Make It Monday: Simple Stitched Stems

My card today for this challenge was  made mostly from the Forget Me Not flower set. The idea is stitch our stems on the card to add that sewing touch to the card. I forgot how I do enjoy my stitching and wish I would do it more often.I also doubled my frame so that my flower could rest just a little higher while still add double tape one one of the lower lilac flowers . I did put clear sparkling Wink of Stella in the centers which no one can see of course!

Elphie Selfie Congrats

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge
The challenge is to make a set of Lawn Fawn cards featuring their sets. I used Elphie Selfie to make my set of congratulations cards. From the set I rearranged the sentiment up so that word 'big' would be highlighted on the card plus adding a bit more interest. I used a variety of  LF dies to add to cute elements to the card.

Blue Outline Peonies

Papertrey Ink

Make It Monday

Adding Color to Outline Images

This week challenge is to take outline stamps and stamps over solid stamp images hence adding the color and interest to the card. Stephanie Gold was the PTI designer this week demonstrating this technique and challenge this week.

For my card this week I stamped out my flowers in 3 different colors using the Floral Sketches solid flowers. Over that I then stamped the outline flowers from the Peonies On Parade set. My sentiment is from the Penned Elegance set. I placed some enamel dots from Echo Park to finish it off.
