Hand Stamped Sentiments -Blooming Blossoms - Challenge #60

I hope each of you that take time to visit my blog this week will join me at the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge Blog for this week's Theme Challenge #60 Blooming Blossoms.  I dusted off a stamp set that I hadn't used in a very long time, the Friends 24-7 set.  It has some great stamps in it besides the stem of flowers....a flourish, 3 sentiments, and  a bird (which I didn't use.).  I chose White Textured CS for the Fancy Favor Box and the Butterfly Bookmark (Sizzix Beatuiful Butterflies Die).  The card is embossed with the Elegant Lines folder.  A piece of the new Paisley Petals is SNEAKING A PEEK from behind the art piece.  Both pieces have 2 edges punched with the Scallop Trim Corner Punch.  Everything is sponged in Not Quite Navy and colored with Stampin' Write Markers.  Inspiration for the card came from a gorgeous Birthday card I received from Debbie Pike.

Srping Tulip

This Spring Tulip card was inspired by vadeler on Youtube. I used the Friends 24-7 stamp set from Stampin Up for the background. The Tulip is made using the oval and scallop circle punches. The leaves are made using the wide oval punch. Although I made this card back in the Spring, I am just now getting around to posting it so I don't remember the colors I used. This card was so much fun to make and is loved by everyone that sees it. I hope you like it too.
