Thinking of you

I started out coloring this beautiful image from Butterfly Basics with my Blendabilities.  Then the dreaded announcement came that Stampin' Up! was suspending the sale of these markers due to a quality issue from the manufacturer.  I had already colored the flower and now I had to decide what to do about the stem and leaves.  I pulled out my ink pad and my blender pen and proceeded to color it the way I did before Blendabilities were introduced.  The background paper is one of the designs from the Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP.  I have one more design left to show you.

Flower Shop Valentine Card

My first Valentine's Day card for 2014.

 I stamped one of the flowers in Strawberry Slush four times.

 I punched them out using the Pansy Punch.

 I stamped one of the flourishes from Flowering Flourishes in Pistachio Pudding on a piece of Whisper White measureing 3 3/4 x 5.

 I layered the Whisper White on a piece of Strawberry Slush measuring 4 x 5 1/4.  My card base is Whisper White measuring 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4.

 I adhered three of the flowers over the flowers on the flourish.

 The fourth flower is adhered on the inside of the card

I stamped the Love You sentiment from Itty Bitty Banners.
