Dandelion Wishes = get well.

Dandelions are one of the first flowers to appear in the spring - a bright splash of yellow against another wise colorless landscape.  Once finished blooming, the flower becomes a ball of fluff, each tuft of the fluff containing a seed for another plant.

I must admit I have a love/hate relationship with Dandelions.  I don't mind them along curbs, but not in my lawn please!

The dandelion In it's fluff state is actually very beautiful and paired against a colorful sky, makes a beautiful get well card

The Basic Black card stock base is layered with Whisper white card stock embossed at the left side with one of the Petal Pair Textured Impression  Folder (stems).

On a separate piece of Whisper White card stock, a center of area was taped off with masking tape, and using a brayer, the following colors were applied: Pineapple Punch, Mango Melody, Gorgeous Grape and Lovely Lipstick.

The single dandelion was embossed with black embossing powder on this colorful panel.

This panel I cut out, embossed the right end with the same embossing folder, matted it with Basic Black card stock and adhered it to the card front.

The sentiment, stamped with Black Memento, had some Dandelion fluff stamped around it before matting it with Basic black card stock and adhering it to the card front using dimensionals.  A gold metallic shape was added above the "wishes" and on the upper right card.

From the Heart - Just Add Ink #406 & Fab Fri #136

I've been making a number of cards lately using the Just Add Color DSP, and this card is no different.  However,  I am entering this card into the sketch challenge at Just Add Ink, and the color challenge at Fab Friday

The tea pot image is from the "Just Add Color" DSP which I obtained as a free product during SAB.  The DSP has some wonderful images and I have made numerous cards from them.

The tea pot was colored with SU markers - Lemon Lime twist, Bermuda Bay and Basic Gray, at times blending the colors together and leaving some white spaces.

The pot was cut out and some 3d lacquer was applied giving it a metallic appearance.  When it was dry it was adhered to a delicate doillie using dimensionals.  This was added to the card front.

Adhering to the color scheme of the Fab Friday challenge, the card base of Bermuda Bay was matted with Basic Gray, and then a layer of the uncolored Just Add Color DSP.  A diagonal strip of Bermuda Bay cardstock was adhered from right to left across the card.

The art piece was adhered on this angled band and a sentiment, from the Petal Palette stamp set was added next to the spout, looking like it was pouring from the pot itself.

Some heart shaped Bermuda Bay metallic embellishments were added to he upper left of the card base, with one being placed on top of the word "heart".  A circular one was adhered to the center of the flower of the pot.
