Fussy Cut Florets

Rounded Squares

That is what I did to the squares....I rounded 2 of the corners. I cased this card; big surprise!; but I'm not sure where from. I just liked the idea. It uses Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White card stock and Beyond the Garden DSP. The punches are the corner rounder, 1 1/4" square, 1/2" circle and the Blossom Bouquet Triple punch. The embellishments are a silver brad and Daffodil Delight Taffeta ribbon(retired), Stamp set is from the Swirls & Curls Verses hostess set in the current Summer Mini catalogue.
 I used my Big Shot and the Vintage Wall paper embossing folder to add texture and interest to the background.

I hope you have had a great weekend! I've had a really busy week! Hopefully next week will be more normal.
Thanks for stopping by,

Happy Birthday Flowers

 While we were on our bus tour/cruise to Bermuda my Mum celebrated her 70th birthday. She has many lung problems so she cannot have real flowers. I created these Gerbera  daisies and took them with us so she could have a bit of a celebration. I used the tutorial by Shelly Bohan to create the flowers and the video by Sharon White to make the basket/vase they are in.

 

The colors I used are Pink Pirouette and black, Pear Pizzazz, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry. the stems and caylex of the flower are Old Olive.

The basket/vase is created from the petal cone die, Pacific Point, Beyond the Garden DSP, Four Frames Stamp set, Decorative label punch and the dotted scallop ribbon border punch.

The other flowers are all the same color but this one has two colors. They are very realistic in real life.

Hope you enjoyed this and that you will try them your self.

Thank you for coming by.
