LSC157 Pretty Petals Birthday



I'm always in need of birthday cards and todays LSC #157 is just perfect to create some...

This card is made with the "Pretty Petals" BG stamp.

I colored the stamp with Always Artichoke, Orchid Opulence and Pink Passion.
The image was stamped onto Whisper White CS. Then I layered it onto Pink Passion and Basic Black CS. For a more elegant look I added some pearl gemstones and I also bedazzled the butterfly with Dazzling Diamond Glitter before it was placed close to the flower.

I had to play around to see how I wanted to display my main image.....and decided to add another Pink Passion CS underneath.

The sentiment is from the "It's your Birthday" set and it was stamped with Basic Black Ink. ~TFL!!!~

LSC157 I'm Praying For You


Good Morning everybody!!!

It is 1:54 AM EST and I can't sleep....

If you follow my blog, you know that it was my oldest daughters 10th birthday yesterday - actually just a couple of hours ago.

We had my in-laws over for dinner and of course a birthday cake and as you know I have been a very good girl losing weight and that cake is really giving me a hard time right now!!! I'm not used to eating anything sugary.....and I think I'm all wired up from that cake....LOL!!!

So I was browsing to see what's going on over at SCS and to my pleasant surprise the LSC was posted...- YEAHHH!!!

I can't believe I'm getting an early start, but than I realized that a lot of others already posted their cards...I guess I'm not the only one up!?!

So todays Limited Supply Challenge #157 is that we can only use one flower stamp - I don't have a problem with this challenge...I think most of my supply is flowered based!!!

Here is what I have done - I used the same layout like I did with the "Boho Backgrounds" card I made just three days ago - I really liked that one. But when I planned on making this card - I knew this card would be for someone very special and I can't reveal it yet, since it's suppose to be a surprise.....

I used Groovy Guava as my base and layered it with Basic Black. Then I did the same again just with smaller Cardstock and added Whisper White. The smaller layered CS was raised with Stampin Dimensionals.

The flower is from the "So Much" Set and they were stamped in Versamark and embossed with black EP. I added the Jumbo Eyelets and the clear Rhinestone Brads in the center. All of the flowers were raised with Stampin Dimensionals as well.

The sentiment is from Verse Visual called "Serenity" and it was stamped in Basic Black Ink.

Hope you get a change to make a fun card for todays challenge...I'll think of another one later....I'm gonna clean up my mess now and hopefully get tired!!! ~TFL~
