More Spring Tulips!

Hello Stamplings!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend/holiday as we whoosh around to another Monday! We enjoyed having family and friends with lots of delicious food and laughter. Nellie was in dog heaven, hoovering up any bits that were crumbed to the floor!

Today I have a quick share, using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar. This is the third Monday of April (and Happy Birthday to my big sister Diana!🎂) and the prompt is E= Emblossing. 

I used this "Layered Tulip" die from Waffle Flower a few weeks ago and at that time I cut a couple of extra flowers. They were intended for Easter cards, which didn't happen in time, so I used embossing folders and made two spring birthday card designs instead, painting the flowers with my Ziggies.

Onefer

This one features an embossing folder that is new to me, sent to me by a friend as a card protector with her card, so I don't know who makes it. I lightly blended CP inks over it in pastel spring colors before popping on the painted tulip and the sediment. The fishtail banner is from PTI. 

It's hard to see, but the lads winked the entire tulip. Poor critters, they pull such long faces when they see the photos, confused because on the camera screen (and in real life), the schparkle from the winking is blinding, but it goes missing when the photos get to the gallery. Er?😶I reassure them that the same thing happens to all of us. Then I put on their "Hammy the Hamster" (Bubbles/The Monster) DVD and they're good again.

Challenges

Just Us Girls: Moodboard. I was inspired by the colors.

Seize the Birthday: Layer it.

The Flower Challenge: Spring flowers. 

Twofer

This very QACAS design using the second painted tulip features Craft Concepts "Stately" e/f. I used hammered card, three gold balls, and a partridge sediment strip from Memory Box. Ba-boom!

 

Challenges

Krafty Chicks: CAS.
Little Red Wagon: Birthday

I.D.E.A.S. Calendar: E = Emblossing

You will find a linky tool below for you to share your creations using embossing, whether wet or dry. Your card may help motivate and lift others out of their creative schlump or give someone a step-off for their own design! 

I love seeing what you create, visiting you, and pinning your designs! 

Thank you so much to everyone who shared their designs last week! Mwah! 

In honor of Earth Day tomorrow, I'm leaving you with a bouquet of irises from the front yard of our neighbor George. 

Enjoy your week! I'm off to make a ham samitch!  

*Life is too short!
