You Brighten my Day - A Teapot full of Flowers - Stampin' Royalty #335

The challenge with Stampin' Royalty this week is the "Use Your Dies" i.e make a project using our dies.
So, for this challenge, I dug out some recently retired dies, used a current stamp set and created this card.  I was inspired by a card similar to this made by jnbcards, which I saw on Pinterest.

• The base card is Flirty Flamingo 4/1/4 by 11, folded to make a top fold card.
• The dies cuts and punchies were built upon the next Whisper White layer which had been embossed with the sparkles embossing folder.

Here are the dies/punches I used:
1.  Cups and kettles framelit dies for the tea pot and lid (Whisper White edges with Flirty Flamingo)
2.  Bouquet XL die for the leaves (garden green cardstock)
3.  Petite Petal Punch to make the flowers which had been stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink.

Stamp sets Used:
1.  Petite Petals
2.  Sunburst Sayings
3.  Wild About Flowers

Accessories:
1.  Wink of Stella gold glimmer brush for center of flowers
2.  Wink of Stella clear glimmer for flower petals and tea pot
3.  1/8" gold taffeta ribbon
4.  Pewter embossing powder
5.  Dimensionals.

Wild About Flowers - Celebrate Spring - The Paper Players #287

It may be spring on the calendar, but its not spring outside.  I was out earlier and it was already precipitating a combination of rain/snow - and the next few days are about to be quite miserable!!

The challenge with The Paper Players   this week is a clean and simple card celebrating spring.

Every day I go to the edge of the yard and peruse the flower bed for evidence of plant growth, but so far there is little.
So stamping a flower will just have to do.
I stamped a flower using the stamp set "Wild About Flowers" - the stem in Pear Pizzazz, and the flowers in Hello Honey with Blackberry Bliss in the center.

Supplies:
Stamps: Wild About Flowers, Suite Sayings, In the Meadow, Timeless Textures
Inks: Pear Pizzazz, Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss marker, Black Memento ink, Hello Honey marker
Papers: Hello Honey, Whisper white, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: Retired 1/8" green/white ribbon, Trio Corner punch, blender pen, 1/4" Pear Pizzazz ribbon, dimensionals.
