Made the color, not the cut!

I submitted one card for Papertrey's April Guest Star Stamper, and thought I might finish this one up tonight and get it in by midnight. But, no, not gonna happen. I slept late this morning, and all day have just wanted to go back to bed! Now it is almost 9 pm, and I am still waiting for my day's energy to arrive. So instead of a GSS, I have a card without a sentiment to show you~

I used dark floral wires and both light green and Sweet Pea flower Soft for the flowers and stems. The vase is one from the Flower Soft line. It's glued to a Stampers Select white Marvy oval, then placed on Marvy punched scalloped ovals- Spring Moss and Berry sorbet, both with little white dots on the scallops. the piece was then layered on one of the Pink Patterns papers, then onto Berry Sorbet with a SU border punched out, then onto the Spring Moss card. Finished size is 5 1/4 x 5 1/4.



As you can see, there is a tiny pink ribbon bow glued onto the vase. If you were more clever than I, you would put a gray 'shadow' line with a marker along the left edge. I will do that, as well as add a sentiment, when I go to use the card! I think it would be a very nice Mother's Day, birthday, or Get Well card!

Lemon (Tart) Flower Soft!

Can you believe it? There is more to show from our shopping spree! Below is the Lemon Flower Soft- it matches Papertrey's Lemon Tart! Look at the teensy ribbon they sell as well! It must be meant to tie around bouquets of flowers; it is about 1/16 of an inch wide! Superb for baby cards!!


Shall I stop talking in exclamations??


I punched out 3 ducks from my new EK Success punch. I also got a border punch with bats aligned in both directions. You do need to be careful with the border punches- the dinosaurs are sooo cuute but can't be a card lower border since they are aligned wrong. Well, of course they could be added on as a different layer, but you know what I mean~ anyway, then I applied the Flower Soft, and colored the beaks with an orange fine tipped marker. What to do for eyes??? I don't have black seed beads...


SHOPPING TRIP!


Here's the Flower Soft close up. Scratchy feeling... holds static... clumpy... but oh my, lookie below!!



How's that for cuteness? Lemon Tart & Ripe Avocado paper along with one of Papertrey's polka dotted papers. SU's scallop border punch. Marvy punches, and SU's word window punch. just arrived from savvy stamps, brads are SU. Ripe Avocado Twill ribbon. Black seed beads from Michaels.


Be sure and look at it closely by clicking on the photo, I think you can see the Flower Soft better. Forgot to say the flourished circle is from Boxes, Bags and Tags and is stamped in Summer Sunrise.

What's missing? That teensy ribbon tied in a bow at the ducks neck~ just need the DD to come tie the bow for me, and we're all set!
