A tulip bouquet - C4G #249

 It is time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  For this challenge, our theme is "flowers."   That's a very easy theme!  I don't create many cards that don't have at least a small flower. :) 

Here are my flowers...

I have made few trips to Joann to see what deals are to be had as they are closing, and these tulips are one of my finds.  It's Hero Arts Layering Tulip Bouquet Stencil.  (Now the matching stamp and die set are on my wish list!)  I ink blended with TH Distress Oxide Inks.  The panels are cut out with Stitched Scalloped Rectangles, and my sentiment is Creative Worship Stamps (formerly Sweet n Sassy Stamps) Script Sentiments. 

Grab your flower stamps or dies or embellishments and come play along with us at Cardz 4 Galz! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Fill your stocking - SCC #172

 A new month and a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  Our theme is "Christmas stocking."  

Here is my stocking...

I realized that I don't have a stocking die or stamps, so I hand cut this one.  My paper is Carta Bella A Wonderful Christmas.  I put a piece of vellum behind the stocking so it would stand out better against the plaid.  My sentiment is Hero Arts Merry Stamp & Cut.  A couple of branches from a MS punch and a few adhesive dots finished it off.  

We'd love to have you come play along with us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
