Inspired by InkspiredTreasures

When I saw this card on Connie Babbert's Inkspired Treasures blog, I was more than inspired, I was determined to copy it! I just put it in the mail a few hours ago to my BF's sister.

She uses a new Stampin Up punch called Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch. I was in love at first site, so I created a similar (very similar) version in the Silhouette Software and made myself a bunch of bouquets!! I love cutting these kinds of embellishments in white and having them on hand when I'm doing a card. I can grab a handful, use my distress inks, and color them any shade I need!!

If you have a silhouette or any digital die cutter that can use GSD files, I'm happy to share it. Just leave a comment or send me an email and I'll get it to you as soon as I can!

Paper is Club Scrap: unknown white and Poetic yellow.

I think the yellow felt ribbon came to me as a blog candy I won some time ago.

The buttons were all white and I colored them with my Bic Mark Its

Squirrely Challenge - Foam Stamping

Hmmmm? could it be I'm ahead of a deadline for once? Possibly. Nancy at SquirrelyArt is challenging folks with another Technique Junkies gem called Foam Stamping and it's from the April/May 2011 newsletter. However, it seems that she has not yet posted the challenge, so I'll quietly put mine up here until she does...no rush Nancy....I will wait patiently...just whenever you get around to it....

All Club Scrap Paper - mostly bits and pieces found in my scrap drawer. Teal from Collections, Orange from Salsa, white is unknown.

The top color on my color trio is really orange, but it's coming across as red in this photo...it's not. I colored the gems orange with my "redneck" copic (Bic Mark Its) color Sunset Orange .
