May 2011 PTI Blog Hop + CFC #3

It's time for another Papertrey Blog Hop.  This time it's all about flowers.  How could I not play along?  I always say that I'm not buying any more flower stamps and then Nichole and the Papertrey DT make some incredible projects with the new flower sets.  Into my cart they go:)

For this card I used my Sending You set.  I love these unique flowers.  I chose to stamp the largest blossom on a piece of adhesive cork that I cut out with one of the dies from Limitless Layers.

I added some yellow glitter to the center of the flower and a rhinestone colored with my R35 copic marker for some bling.  This is also for CAS-ual Fridays latest challenge: Bring the Bling.  I LOVE this new challenge blog!

I'll keep it short since you are hopping along.  Have a wonderful Wednesday!

HEC #16 + CPS 211

Ted has issued his challenge for April and I wanted to be sure to play along.  It was very easy to get started right away on this one because I had my purple and green scraps out from the last card.  So HERE is Ted's clever challenge this month:

• You must make a birthday card (in honor of his birthday this month).
• It must be mainly purple and green (his favorite colors).
• It must contain four of something (since he's turning 44).

I already had the flowers cut from Simply Chartreuse paper since I was playing around with making these flowers.  You can see this post for photo steps on how I made these.  I just stamped the centers in purple ink with the flowers from Sending You.  I also embossed the purple layer and white card base with my canvas / linen impression plate.

My four "somethings" are:

• 4 leaf sprigs
• 4 rhinestones
• 4 words in my sentiment

I used the CPS sketch for this week for my layout.
