Spring Flowers

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it snowing AGAIN this morning!  In an effort to make spring arrive earlier (even if it only happens inside) I made this cute little flower arrangement for the wall by my front door.  It was super easy, because I used my Big Shot and the Flower Folds die for most of the work.  I wound some Certainly Celery ribbon around a few bamboo skewers for the stems, and just inserted them through the ribbon loop on the back that was created when I tied the knots in the center of the flowers.  The grass is made from the Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper and Certainly Celery card stock.  I just cut some strips and ran them through my crimper.  So easy!  And don't miss the butterfly...I LOVE the new embosslit in the Occasions Mini catalog!

Forest Friends

 

Card Stock~Soft Suede, Kraft, Whisper White; Ink~Sahara Sand Classic Ink, Soft Suede Classic Ink and Stampin' Write Marker, Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker; Stamps~Forest Friends, A Little Birthday Cheer; Accessories~Dusty Durango Polka Dot ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

I distressed the edges with a pair of scissors, and tore the edge of the whisper white piece.  I also dabbed the edges of the white with Sahara Sand ink.  I like how the trees in the back came out...I didn't want them to be bold like the one on top, and because I stamped after I crumpled the paper, they turned out just as I had hoped.

Circle Circus

 

One more card for Sunday.  I like this one, but probably just because these are my favorite colors for cards.

Card Stock~Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Not Quite Navy, More Mustard, Dusty Durango, and Whisper White; Ink~Old Olive, Not Quite Navy, More Mustard, and Dusty Durango; Stamps~Circle Circus, Vintage Labels; Accessories~Linen Thread, 1 3/8", 1 1/4", and 1" circle punches, Stampin' Dimensionals
