Seize the Birthday #1 - Vintage Roses

Happy Tuesday Friends,
Today's post is for a new challenge that Lesley Croghan has started called Seize the Birthday.  The sketch will be used for a Feminine Birthday challenge one week and then again for a Male version the following week.  First time I have used Stampin' Up's Papaya Collage. I love the rose and frame images, and I just had to do a Vintage themed card.  I used stamp pads and markers to colour the roses and their leaves.  I Fussy cut the focal point, sponged some of the layers and embossed the Pretty In Pink mat layer.

Stamps:  S/U's Papaya Collage, Vintage Labels (R), Flourishes Nasturtiums
Card and Papers: Very Vanilla,Pretty In Pink, Crumb Cake, DSP Patterns Stack - Brights and Neutrals

Fab Friday #9 - Best Wishes

Hi Friends,
Today's post is for the current Fab Friday Challenge.  I love this fabulous sketch and I enjoyed making this card.  The design worked out exactly how I wanted it, if not better.   I made a rolled flower centre with MFT's Large Rolled Rose Die and then punched out two layers for the base of the flower with Stampin' Up's Fancy Flower Punch.  When I spritzed and manipulated the Fancy flower shapes the card came apart so I opened it up and added the extra layers to my flower.  I did quite a bit of sponging with Wisteria Wonder and the flower was spritzed with the White Smooch Spritz to add some sparkle .  Finished off with some Wisteria Wonder Frilled Ribbon, Crystals and a Tag from Papertrey's Tiny Tags Die. The leaf was made by folding a 1 1/2"piece of card in half, putting it through the crimper at an angel and then free hand cutting the leaf.

Stamps: S/U's Tiny Tags
