Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #82 - Spring Delight

Hi Stampers,
Today's post is for Chuppa's Sketchbook Saturday Challenge.  I found the sketch while surfing the net and loved it so much and Chuppa's card that I just had to play along.  I wish I had a pretty flower like Iwona's to play along with, it's just gorgeous.  I picked my colours from Stampin Up's Colour Coach under Melon Mambo, I had to see if they would really work together and you might need your sunny's on, they are very bright. It's amazing how nice the colours are together, although I wasn't sure how I would tie them together, but I think the button, ribbon and pearls have done the job.



Supplies:

Stamps: Papertrey Ink - Birthday Bash Sentiments

Card and Papers: Daffodil Delight, Vellum, Very Vanilla, DSP Patterns Stack Brights Collection

Ink: Stazon Black, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise

Retro Sketches #35 - In My Flower Garden

Happy Halloween Everyone,
Today's post is for the Retro Sketches Challenge this week.  I stamped the flower image twice and then Punch flowers from various DSP using the Boho Blossoms Punch and the Spring Flower Bouquet Punch.  Sponged around the edges of the flowers and mounted some on Dimensionals and the rest on the card base.  I added some buttons, pearls and crystals for the centre of the flowers.  I wanted to add some twine or ribbon but didn't like the way it looked so I added the Border strip and stamped the sentiment onto it and extended the flower stems with a ruler and Old Olive Marker.
