Repetitive Die Cut
For my repetitive die cut I used a leaf die from Spellbinders Club Blooms die set. I was thinking of using it all over the background like faux embossing, but after I had the four die cuts in each corner, I liked it and stopped there. The pretty pink bloom, green leaves, stems & buds are all from the same Spellbinders set, which I love using. I die cut an MFT stitched oval in white and a scalloped mat in the same lt. pink as the buds. I stamped the sentiment and then arranged the other die cuts along the bottom. I did sponge some Blushing Bride ink in the center of the flower and then added a fancy rhinestone to finish it. The oval panel is mounted with foam tape.

Now hop over to Seize the Birthday and check out all the inspiration by my teammates. I hope to see you in our gallery.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,

Seize the Birthday - Use Fall Colors
Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Linda has chosen to Use Fall Colors for our "Topping" option. Of course, the only requirement is that it has to be for a birthday. Be sure to check out all the great cards by the team over at STB.
I thought of orange, brown and yellow for fall colors, so that is what I went with. I embossed the Crumb Cake panel with SU Dainty Diamonds EF. I fussy cut the corners to match the smaller panels. Then I die cut Spellbinders Club Blooms in orange - large flowers; yellow - small flowers and centers for large flowers; and green for the leaves and stems. The white and brown panels were die cut with SU Countryside Corners die. I stamped the sentiment from a retired SU set and glued it all together, then mounted the flowers in the corners. I added dark brown enamel dots to the flower centers. They were originally cream color, but I colored them with a Copic marker.

Hello
Hello friends. I have a new card to share today. I have been wanting to use this large butterfly stamp from Penny Black Butterfly Trio and when I saw the color challenge at Just Us Girls I thought I would give it a try.
I stamped the butterfly in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored over the black with my black marker as it didn't stamp real clear (I tried it a couple of times). I colored the wings with SU Pale Papaya and Pool Party Blends, then fussy cut it out. There is no matching die but it was easy to cut out. I embossed the white panel with SSS Blossom Field EF and matted it with a thin Pool Party mat. I die cut the Hello (Tutti Designs) twice in white, once in Pool Party, and layered them together; but it looked too pale on the white, so I die cut it in black and glued in on top of all the layers. I thought it looked better as there was black in the butterfly. I am please with the final result.
I am also linking to NBUS as this is the first time I have used this stamp.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
