Blooming Love!

Good morning all

I'm here today with my inspiration card for Whimsy Stamps.  I've used not one but two of the cute January release digis from Stampart Design by Kathryne

 together with a bonus sentiment that comes with it.

The main image is called Katie available here

The pink flowers are cut from Pretty Petals 2 available here

and the sentiment comes as a bonus with the Pretty Petals 2 stamp 

The flowers in the bottom corner are cut from the pretty Petals 2 digi - I coloured them then cut them out and mounted them on 3D foam before arranging them on the die cut leaves as an embellishment to match the flower on the image.  I really like these little flowers and I think they could be used to make all sorts of flower embellishments as there is an assortment of shapes and sizes of flower.  The centre of each flower is coloured and then I added diamond stickles which really makes these flowers stand out.   The design paper I used is first edition spring drop - the colours in it are green, pink, peach and aqua and I used those colours for my image - the aqua doesn't show up to well on the photo which makes the colours look a bit random - its better in real life  honest!

This is what I did....

Good morning all

Today I have a card that was supposed to be a DT card for the challenge at

 My Time to Craft

the Challenge is

Decoupage

but I didn't get it finished in time!

To be fair its not my week to post on MTTC DT but when I saw this image I knew it was perfect for the challenge, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it -so decided I would  go for it.  The image is one of the gorgeous new release digis over at Whimsy Stamps from

Stampart Designs by Kathryne

 and its called

 Pretty Petals2 available here

It took me ages to colour all of the flowers for this card, I printed the image twice and coloured all of the flowers - I'm not a - just because you can't see them girl!  all of the flowers are coloured under the decoupaged ones too!  The sentiment also comes in the set with the image (there are two others that say "love blooms here" that are really nice too)

I cut out the second flowers shaped them and mounted them on different sizes of 3d foam to give a variety of height and left some of the flowers just as the flowers on the original card.  I then cut a couple of the flowers to embellish the sentiment - just to tie it into the design.  i also edged all the white card with a toning pen (copic R02) just to difine the edge.  I was really pleased with this when it was finished, I didn't go overboard on the embellies as the flowers say it all on this card, I felt quite pleased with myself that everything on this card was hand made(except the pearls!)  and I had to use a really big bow to finish it off - well you always get a big bow on a bouquet of flowers don't you lol.
