Embracing Everything

Tonight I had fun making up the last of my "Embrace Life" flower cards. I also made another one on SCS for LSC207 Stretch yourself...I made a little Black and White Bliss card that Is in my gallery there. I used only black and white and no embellishments and no cuttlebug so its a bit different from my usual.

I used Certainly Celery and Baja Blue on the first card, and the sentiment is from Upsy Daisy...I made it for a friend. the Ribbon was a gift from a CCRak Irecieved last summer...I thought it was perfect for this card.

I just had to add the little Celery flower bard to the sentiment. I have failed to mention yesterday that the leaves were painted withmy Watercolor Wonder Crayon in Certainly Celery.

The Second card I used Chocolate Chip and Pink Pirouette. I think this is the perfect Pink to go with Chocolate. I used Everyday Flexible Phrases to stamp the "Happy Birthday", I used my circle punches and scalloped circle to make up the sentiment matting and my 3/4" punch to make the indent on the image panel for the little Chocolate bow...yes, I tied an actual bow instead of a knot.

I like how the D'vine swirl Embossing folder looks with this...I have been trying not to use it so much, but I really do like it.

I think my flash went off way to bright on the last card. I used scrap of Brown cardstock I got on clearance a few years ago because it was faded abit. I think this is the last piece I had so I finished up somethign form my

stash...yeah for me!
I used textile Embossing folder for a different look from the other cards. I used one of my my "tags & sliders" Cuttlebug diecut also. I cut one in white and one in Perfect Plum and then layered the sentiment "celebrate" from Everyday Flexiable Phrases on dimensionals.

I have enjoyed revisiting Embrace Life to make the 5 cards int he last few days. It helped get my stash of Birthday cards up for emergencies and it was fun to be able to have some cards to blog about.

Until Later ....Happy Stamping!
