More Blossom Set Ideas

Well I had intended to get out in the garden today to do some more cleaning up of the flower beds, but I was busy with photographs for my daughter's musical and it took way longer than I intended it to!  However, if you are like me, and are still in the Spring mood for Flowers and color, why don't you jump on over to the Sparkle N Sprinkle site, where you will find some of my fellow designer's creations, specially created for this time of year.

My Mother's Day Card

Welcome back, after all the excitement of last week's Blog Hop!  After making several more cards, I decided to stick with this one for my Mum.  She loves all flowers, whether in the garden or in a vase.  I embossed the frame by using the Oval die cut from Spellbinders.  The vase stamp is from Sparkle N Sprinkle Vase Set 265 which I stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored in with Copics.  The blue background paper is just blue cardstock with Versamark applied to the edges and then heat embossed with Sparkle Embossing Powder.  I make my own glittery backgrounds with this Embossing Powder all the time - It just adds so much bling!  I added a little Stickles to the flowers and wrapped a little, blue, squiggly, sparkly ribbon around the bottom!  Ok, got to get it to the post office, so that it'll arrive in time - Catch you later!
