Stamp-A-Holics & Stamping 411


First I found the Sketch Challenge at Stamping 411 and then the colors at Stamp-A-Holics...and was I ever challenged. I shuffled, reshuffled, went this way and then that way and just about called it quits, but then really rose to the challenge, put my head down and got to some serious playing...here are the colors that are being called for...can I do this?

and the sketch challenge from Stamping 411 ~ love the sketches that are given, 
it really helps me with a starting point. 


So here's my card...still not sure how I feel about it, but she... is absolutely adorable!
What a beautiful stamp set ~ it's a must have in my mind!


I grabbed my Tulip Border Punch and added a garden of tulips to the inside of my card!


Thanks so much for popping by, hope you had a little taste of spring!
Enjoy your day!

    Oh course you can do it and very well too. Such a pretty card. I agree she is adorable. Love how you have the flowers behind her. I really do have to find that tulip border punch somewhere - I love it. It is perfect for the inside of this card and what a great idea to cut a Tulip off to add to your sentiment oval. Wonderful card my friend.

Hello friends and I want to wish you a Blessed Happy New Year!!!  A year filled with love, hope and peace!!! And I want to welcome you here, to the first Technique Tuesday of the year.  The call for this Technique is using the Brayer!  Oh boy, I haven't used my Brayer in years...so here we go!! Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!! So what I did was, with my Blackberry Bliss Stamp Pad, I inked Brayered the inside of the Embossing Folder, then carefully laid the Die into the Embossing Folder, placed a 6" x 6" piece of Basic White CS, into the folder!  Ran that through my Cut & Emboss Machine and voilà Stampin Dimensionals behind these sweet ...
