Joan's Gardens #4 Weekly Card Challenge

Here is what you need to do for Joan's Gardens Weekly Challenge #4....

1.  Use Yellow and Green for your colors
2.  a piece of trim
3.  a frame to call attention to your focal point
4.  embossing

Believe it or not the card stock I use is a peal Yellow from Bazzell!! In the picture it looks more like gold. I used my hero stamp of a daisy and embossed it with green embossing powder
from The Powder Keg. I added the diamonds on the corners, they wore the leftover pop outs of my lotus die cut from Spellbinders and the buterfly stamp came from Gina K stamps from stampTV.

The Sweet Stop has a new challenge and I decided to use the sketch that they provided. When I saw this sketch, I fell in love with it!!! Isn't it an awesome sketch!!

I decided to use a Crazy 4 Challenges  sketch  design!



Crazy 4 Challenges

I first selected my lime green bazzil paper and embossed the background with Quick Kutz Leaves emboss folder. I just got this new stamp called Let A Smile be Your Umbrella from Stamp n' Stor, I love fogies stamps!! I stamped it with memento black ink pad and colored it with my Triart markers.

I used my Spellbinders Nestabilitie Small Scalloped Octagon to die cut my frog image out'

I chose SEI design paper that I had as scrap, because I had used it for another card. Using my EK Success punch to punched out the top part of my DP. I used a petty lime green ribbon, I had to layer it because it was two shear! I used Just Rite stamp for my oval border and stamped happy birthday from Gina K stampTV. I added rhinestone for some bling!!

My Thank You Roses

For my Thank you card I used Gina K stamps  "A Year of Flowers" by Melanie Muenchinger. I love roses and they have some beautiful flower stamps. I did not have a rosebud stamp so I had to draw my own!!

Since I am converting my wood mounted stamps to foam mounted, I can not tell you where the heart stamp came from, just I bought it off of e-bay.
The Reddish pink Rose, it's leaf, the heart and rosebud are all raised. The picture doesn't show it well!!

Tip: If you are changing your wood stamps to foam, wright down the stamp company on your log stamp sheet!
