CC209 Roses for You

 
Ok, maybe I should call this card something else because it gave me heck all morning. On top of that, my camera wanted to change the real color of the photo because of the light I am having to adjust all the time until I get the camera to the doctor. So, I had to scan my photo today. At least this way, you are seeing the real color. I seen the color challenge come out this morning about 1:30am...yes, I was still up. I had to use the scanner for the photo because this photo looks more like red than what the color challenge was calling for, sorry. I am working on my pen pal cards. Anyways, when I saw the colors being always artichoke, rose red, and black, I knew I wanted to make a rose card. But the mojo wasn't there until later today. I started out by cutting an oval shape using the cm cutting system from the rose red c/s. I cut another oval piece smaller from the green c/s. I used the cb textile emboss folder twice and actually matched it up without messing it up. I sponged on top the embossing, the inside of oval, and the edges with black. I used the versamark ink pad and covered the whole RR c/s and embossed it using clear powder. Heat set. I mounted the green to the RR. I picked up this rose stamp from a garage sale awhile ago and thought I would use it here. I stamped it using black ink. I colored the roses with prismacolor pencils, baby oil, and blending stumps. I added a fine line on the tips of the roses with MS glitter. I added the white ribbon along with a sentiment tag. I used the MS butterfly punch for the butterflies and added mini rhinestones. Attached with glue dots. In the meantime, I went to mount the card onto the black, wouldn't you know the black had gunk all over the back of it...wrong pile. So needless to say, I had to trim away, re-cut, and remount the card again. I really struggled with this card. I hope you like it. Thanks for viewing my card and honest opinions please. Have a nice day!

Well, I thought I would give the CAS cards another try. It's been a while, so hopefully this card fits the challenge for the blue and green.
This is really a simple card and I only made it to be a
3 1/2 x 3 1/2 size card. I started out by using the square punch onto 2 types of colored gingham dp and mounted them to a thin poster board. Also punched. I added a strip of ribbon and tied a bow to each package. The bows are held on with glue dots and the packages are on with foam tape. Stamped the sentiment with black ink onto white c/s. I added 4 eyelets to the corners and I was done in 15 minutes. Have a wonderful day and thanks Ms. Boo for these challenges.

Stamps: small script
Cardstock: brilliant blue, white, mme gingham dp
Ink: black
Accessories: ribbon, eyelets, poster board, square punch, glue dots

Boy, I sure do like when the challenges come out early. Thanks so much for posting so early. It has helped me out a lot lately, so I can get the proper rest with my cold. Now, my whole family has my cold...YUCK!
I just admire Judy's gallery for the Featured Stamper tonight. She is known by Stampingqueenjar. We were to change at least 3 things on our card from the card we case. I also went way back to one of her beginning cards. I actually had my supplies out to make my card, so this worked perfect. Here is Judy's card I cased:

I started out by stamping the leaves from Embrace Life on the cranberry c/s as the base card with cranberry crisp ink. I've always wanted to try the thumping technique so this was perfect opportunity for it right here. I used a cameo coral colored marker on the Upsy Daisy stamp and went over the tips of the flowers with the cranberry crisp marker. Huffed on the stamp to stamp the image onto white c/s. I sponged lightly around the edges and mounted it to celery c/s. I used the piercing tool as well along the edges too. Once mounted, I used the 2-way glue on the tips of the flowers and added glitter with a q-tip. Mounted the whole image to the base of the card. Stamped the sentiment with black ink. I added the ribbon. I used the MS butterfly punch to attach to the card and added stickles to their bodies. This was really a quick card to do and fun to do. Thanks again for posting early. Have a wonderful Sunday. TFL!
