The Flower Challenge Reminder: Colour Your Flower

Reminder time folks. The FlowerChallenge this month is Colour Your Flower.

My beautiful image is Altenew's, Golden Age, hotfoiled and the stenciled.

Poppystamps Happy Birthday Background for the sentiment. 

Hope you're playing along. We love to see what coloring method is your favorite!

Reminder #91 Colour Your Flower

 

 

Hey Cupcake was sitting on my worktable as I was thinking of a card for a 

graduate. Not just any graduate, but a very special graduate. I know, all

graduates are special and deserve acknowledgement, but this one, well, she

worked very hard and achieved a doctorate! 

Our own Ashley Marie Penir did it! 

Her very special robe and cap, collar and pose with UCFresno's mascot  attest 

to her greatness. No simple cap and gown on a card would do, not for Dr. Penir.

We share a love for all things sweet, especially a local treat from 'Nothing Bundt Cakes.'

Just the perfect sentiment for an awesome lady!

The Greetery's Sweet & Fancy Label Hot Foil, then die cut and absolutely perfect hip.

hip.hooray! embossed onto vellum.

Lots of sweet detail, such as double wrappers, layers of cupcake decoration, and gold 

glitter.

A special card needs a special inside, so I used my freebee from  the Greetery to 

stencil and complete my greeting.

Hope you enjoyed my post today. Still partying on this end with the family!

Have a wonderful week! Hope it's crafty!

A Trio of Joy

 

A Trio of Joy cards with the Greetery's Joy Hot Foil and stamp and die sets.

Playing with the new Glimmer Hot Foil system is just too much fun!

Christmas Joy began with the Fond of Foliage stamp. It's a big red rubber stamp, 

and I selectively inked the stamp with shades of light and dark Oxide inks. Then

sponge inked the panel in red and pink, darker and heavier on the corners.

Joy is hot foiled with copper foil onto PTI's ripe avocado. I've used the Winterberry 

Bouquet set before, and love the steps of first stenciling, then stamping the colors.

The 2 thin stitched frames are Poppystamps, and Christmas is the Greetery's 

Opposites Attract Holiday. A few Pine Wisp branches too.

I just bought a Lightbox, and learning to use it is a new challenge. It's only 12 x 12", and

I wish I had bought one larger. 

Anyway, Hope you enjoyed the first of 3 cards made with the Joy set. 

I'll post the other 2 tomorrow. 

Thanks for the visit! And I hope you're enjoying cooler weather. We had a 

great wet past 2 days. So needed in our dry valley!
