Paper Flower Power

Happy Friday, y'all!  Bit of a gloomy day here but I would be happy to get some rain, it's been terribly dry this year and I know it's going to be a bad summer for fires.  And I don't have to go anywhere else until it's time to pick up Ryan (other than taking Daph for a walk) so as far as I'm concerned it can pour down rain from now until midafternoon.  Whaddya say, Zeus?

Anyway!  Apparently this is my week to be an overachieving stamper because I have three cards to share this morning.  Let's start with these two:


I thought this week's Freshly Made Sketch was a good chance to showcase some DSP but then I couldn't pick just one.  Here's the sketch:


And I couldn't leave out one more gorgeous floral paper:


I actually made this one first and couldn't resist making the other two.

Supplies, first card:
Stamps:  Sweet Blooms
Ink:  Pretty Peacock
Paper:  Mossy Meadow, Basic Beige, Floral Charm DSP
Accessories:  Perennial Postage dies, Low Profile Sparkle Dots, Pretty Peacock Metallic Ribbon, Dimensionals

Supplies, second card:
Stamps:  Sweet Blooms
Ink:  Secret Sea
Paper:  Secret Sea, Basic White, Lovely Blossoms DSP
Accessories:  Perennial Postage dies, Natural Matte Dots, Old Olive Polytwill Metallic Ribbon, Dimensionals

Supplies, third card:
Stamps:  Sweet Blooms
Ink:  Garden Green
Paper:  Garden Green, Secret Sea, Petunia Pop, Florals in Bloom DSP
Accessories:  Sweet Blooms dies, Sparkle Dot Essentials


And here's a picture of Daphne from yesterday just because she's cute, she was sitting there with her toy in her mouth and just STARING at me until I tried to get her picture and then she dropped the toy.  And you can see the carcass of another toy off to the right, she yanked all the stuffing out pretty much as soon as she got it.  Destructo-Dog!

  1. A great idea to use patterned paper as the base of your card. Truthfully, my very first card was cut from paper, too, but I went with the indiividual tiles. I like them all and your first really stands out. Thanks for joining FMS this week!

  2. I love these papers and you've put them to good use! Question: did you cut off the postage edges of the Perennial Postage dies for your panels? That's a great idea if you did! And Daphne is adorable even if she is Destructo-Dog!

  3. Christy, using those fabulous dsps was a brilliant idea for Donna's sketch - wish I'd have thought of it! All of your papers are fantastic and resulting cards would make a great gift set!
    Thank you for 'gifting' one of them to FMS!
