Most of the blooms are from Poppystamps Potpourri Flower set, plus the smallest die from Stitched Blooms Trio. I just mixed the blooms & layered 3 for each one. The centers have a pink Nuvo Drop. I used very small green scraps for Poppystamps Orchard Leaves & a white scrap for Grosgrain Bow. The kraft floral wrap was made by folding a Memory Box Grand Heart diecut.
Letters from Memory Box Parker Lowercase Alphabet were die cut from a black scrap covered with packing tape. The sweet Darice embossing folder from my friend, Lisa, made the perfect background. I'm also entering Snippets Playground.
Next is my entry for the Pinkfresh Studio May Rainbow Challenge. I've had the Nested Diamond Pop Out Stamp a long time, but have used it very little. Took several tries & rewatching videos to finally figure out how to use it with each section a different color. Love being able to do that, so need to use it again before I forget what I did!
Anyway, I've been wanting to use pastel rainbow colors & this was the perfect challenge for that. I used Lawn Fawn Ballet Slippers & Peach Fuzz, PTI Lemon Tart & Vintage Jadeite, Hero Arts Soft Sky & Memento Lulu Lavender. For some reason, I couldn't get good images white embossing PFS Small Butterflies on vellum. Finally gave up & just stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne on white cardstock. That worked & they actually look much better on the card than my first idea. I colored the bodies with a light gray Copic, brushed the wings with a shimmer pen & colored the dots with a black glaze pen. There's a short video showing the shimmer on my IG post. They're attached just in the middle so the wings can be slightly raised. Tiny clear gems are the only embellishment. The black embossed sentiment is from PFS Perfect Sentiments & I found just the right shade of gray cardstock for the mat.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
