Phoenix Inspirations

Catching up with two challenges today - the first is  Sketch Saturday  and we are to choose a paste sketch from their achieves. I chose #227 And I am also entering in the Tic, Tac Toe challenge on  The Paper Players Here is my card - using the first line: Flowers, Die Cuts and Yellow I used a set of Nestabilites to  die cut my squares in some yellow decorative paper and I also used my Window Framelits to die cut my central label. Kind and Cosy is my stamp set of choice along with  Petite Petals. Hope you like it - see you soon xx

So on Sunday I showed you a card with the stamp set Peaceful Petals which sadly won't be making it in to the new Annual Catalogue.

Now that Spring is on it's way it's maybe time for some pretty floral cards and as I was choosing the colours this week over on  CAS - Colours & Sketches  I was thinking pale pinks and soft greens - why then did I spoil it all by adding dark brown?????? Anyway for the die hard crafters among you here are the actual colours And here is my card. (Remember that Stampin' Up colours are not compulsory - the nearest you have in your stash will do just as well). This really is a rubbish photo - but I loved how this card evolved. I only had tiny scraps of Early Espresso in my stash and this lovely circle so that was the starting point. I die cut the lattice and then as my pink flowers did not show up very well on the white I added an embossed oval to the middle. I'm thinking I may use this for Easter as the middle looks rather like a cross. Materials - Stampin' Up Stamps: Petite Petals Ink: Pink Pirouette Card Stock: Whisper White, Early Espress...

Good morning - it's time for another Christmas Card challenge over on the  52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown  and this week is our Stash Challenge and the theme is Paper Flowers And here is my card I used the Petite Petals stamps for this and the matching punch to create some poinsettia flowers to adorn my green wreath.
