Strawberries

Here is a card that was inspired from a card on Pinterest.

The strawberries were cut from the Preserves Cricut cartridge at 1.5 inches.  They were then embossed with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder.  For the background, several 1/4" strips of brown paper were cut, and then woven.  The label at the bottom is from the Fabulous Finds Cricut cartridge. 

Birthday Flowers

Recently I took the Copic Standard Certification class (for more information on the classes and locations: http://www.copicmarker.com/certification), and we used the Copic Airbrush system.  I airbrushed the outer and inner flowers with R85.  When I got home, I realized that the flowers could be stacked and used on a card. 

The flowers were stacked and attached with a brad.  The flourish and sentiment were stamped with Versamark, and then embossed with Stampendous detailed white embossing powder. 

Stampendous Inspired Card

Here is a card was inspired by a post on the Stampendous Blog.  The original post can be found here: http://stampendousblog.wordpress.com/.  I really liked the card and the colors, and fortunately I had the stamp, the embossing powders, the ribbon, the brads and the card stock.

First I decided to make the card as described in the blog. I modified the card slightly, but basically followed the instructions provided on the Stampendous Blog. 

Once I knew I had the technique down, I used a stamp from Greenhouse Society.  For this card, I used a wine colored background, and a pink flower.  I omitted the brads for this version.  Overall, I liked the silver on the wine backgroung better, but liked the red flower better.
 

Embossing and Copics Part 3

For this card, I used a Greenhouse Society stamp, VersaMark, and Detailed White embossing powder.  The image was stamped with VersaMark and then embossed.  The flowers were colored with several colors of Copic markers.

Embossing and Copics Part 2

Here is another card, similar to the one last week.  It uses the same Greenhouse Society stamp, but this time I stamped the image several times with VersaMark and embossed with detailed white embossing powder.  Again I used a Copic marker in a similar color to the background paper to highlight the flowers. 

 

 

It was hard to get a good picture of this card, the background is yellow, with white embossing.  

Embossing and Copics

For this card, I wanted to use a similar color Copic marker as the background paper.  I used a Greenhouse Society stamp, VersaMark and Detailed White embossing powder.  After embossing the flowers and sentiment, I used a Copic marker in a similar color to the background paper and highlighted the flower. 

Pinterest Inspired

I saw a similar card on Pinterest, and thought I could make that.  I had butterfly punches, and the same Cuttlebug Embossing folder.  Here is my version, and I am not sure I like this one, and my need to re-make it. 

The card is 4 x 5.5.  I embossed the background with D'vine Swirl cuttlebug folder, then used a Martha Stewart punch all over the page butterfly punch.  These were then backed with another color paper.  The smaller butterflies were cut from the Paper Trimming Cricut Cartridge.    The background was lightly inked.
