Poinsettia Greetings

Happy Hellos Everyone!

I hope your Tuesday has kicked-off to a terrific start. Thank you for returning to The Peddler's Gallery holiday parade. Yesterday, we began our parade with 'Toasted Snowflakes'--a card made from BoBunny's designer papers, Snowfall. Today's card is all about incorporating the old with the new. Leading up to the Thanksgiving Day holiday and the Friday after, I received a couple of packages. There was one from Papertry and the other was from Waltzing Mouse. Receiving them was as if Christmas had arrived a little sooner than later. I quickly unwrapped all my goodies and just stared at it all for a moment or two. All of a sudden my thoughts were running so wild, I'd forgotten what I had planned on creating. Has that ever happened to you? Well, I eventually calmed myself down and began to focus. I decided to combined some of the old with the new. Take a look.




 

I used some of my Basic Grey papers I had left over from last year. This was one of two of my favorite holiday lines from last year. When I discovered my LSS had a little left over in January, I purchased a few sheets or two for whenever. I topped off the card with my new stamp from WMS. I just love the holiday sentiment stamp set. It has such an European/English flair to it. I'm not sure you'll recognize it in this card, but I'm certain you will in the projects to follow. I f you look closely you may discover I finished of the anther on the Poinsettia using a high gloss and clear microbeads. From where I stand, it's simply beautiful.

As always, thanks for stopping by The Peddler's Gallery and be sure to pop in tomorrow to see what's next in the holiday paper parade.

Pretty-N-Pink

Happy Hellos Everyone:

Like the elephant, card makers never forget birthdays. Okay, never is such a strong word. Rarely??? Okay, we try not to forget a birthday. As you may remember, I have the need to build up my birthday stash as I'm sure many of you run into the same situation from time to time--that is running low on birthday cards. I have a cute little card to share with you today. It's the perfect card for that birthday that just got away. It's as if I fell in love all over again. When I first came across this image I loved it--even before I saw a completed image. When I complete my card I fell for it all over again. Go figure.

Well, please take a look...


 



The image is from Mark's Finest Papers and I stamped to elephants and created a 3-D effect using dimensional separators. The camera didn't capture the elephant in the way I wanted it to. You'll just have to trust me when I say the elephant appears to leap off of the card. The textured paper in the background is actual elephant skin inspired. So, it really works well with this image. To top it all off, I think the pink ribbon is a wonderful touch. 

Well, as always, thanks for visiting The Peddler's Gallery and come back real soon.

Scraps of Color 1st Blog Hop

Happy Hellos Everyone:

I'm so excited!!!

Welcome to the Scraps of Color Creative Blog Hop!  Join us for a weekend of fun, creativity and prizes!  All weekend long you’ll have the chance to create fun projects, be inspired and win!   Get your crafty mojo flowing...just follow the 1st SOC Creative Team Blog Hop.

If you are here and following the blog hop then you are in the right place.  However if you have just happened upon my blog and would like to join in the hop please start at the beginning of the hop here and work your way through each blog. Please leave blog love (comments) along the way and become a follower of the blogs you like so that you can be notified of their new creations and updates!

My project for the hop is fit for the season. It's a springy birthday greeting card. I must say, I love-love-love my Copic markers. However, I decided to use another technique for the hop. To create the flowers, stamp flower images onto a printed piece of paper (Note: the smaller the print the better for stamping purposes); cut and ink the core of the paper with dark ink; shape the flowers pedestals in an upward motion; place a dimensional in between each flower to create volume; finally, spritz your flowers with your favorite shimmer mist. (Hint: Lightly mist the flowers with rose water to give them a since of life.) 






And I’m offering a prize for the items pictured below. All you need to do is leave a comment letting me know your favorite flower making technique and/or become a follower. Should you elect to do both, your name will be entered into the drawing twice to double you chances of winning some wonderful blog candy. I will announce the winner on Monday.




Remember,  some of SOC Creative Team Members are offering blog candy and you never know where you'll find it.  So be sure to visit each participating blog. I’ve made it easy for you to follow, just click the appropriate link below.  Thank you for joining us for the 1st SOC Creative Team Blog Hop!
