Birthday Flowers

This card is being entered in the StampTV MIUM Challenge “Combine & Color” where we are to:

• Use a combination of two different Gina K Designs stamp sets. One for the focal image and one for the sentiment.
• Have a focal image that can be colored. The image you choose can be colored with whatever you choose.

This card is also being entered in the Mod Squad Challenge “Spring Forward” where we are encouraged to use flowers, birds, butterflies, hummingbirds, etc. and bright, beautiful colors to make a Spring themed card.   (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

For this card, I used stamps from the Gina K Designs “A Little Something” (the vase of flowers) and “Sweet Tweets” (the greeting).  The images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I colored the image with Copic Markers (Y23, YG09, V15, and V17).  I also did a little paper piecing to add color to the vase.  In addition to black and white card stock, the patterned paper I used is from the Gina K Delicate Essentials 6×6 paper pack.  I also used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder, a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen (hard to see in photo), and a few self sticking rhinestones.

I ended up doing a second card as well by mixing up the colors a bit.  Here it is:

I’m not sure which I like better!

Thanks for checking out my card projects!
