Mother's Day Pansies

 We have been celebrating spring all month long and for me part of spring is Mother's Day. I am blessed to have both my Mom and Mother in Law in my life and for that I am so grateful. Both of them are strong and full of wisdom....and they both like flowers! So, when I saw the "Pansy Arrangement" in the High Hopes Stamps line up, I knew I had to use it to make a Mother's Day card for one of them. 

I stamped this fun arrangement on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured it with Copic markers and cut it out using an xstitched die. I cut a matching circle out of the card stock I had chosen and glued the coloured image to it. After setting that aside, I cut my 5"x 5" card base and cut the card stock to fit. Patterned paper from Lawn Fawn was the perfect match for this card. 

I added a piece of white card stock to the top after I put it through my die cutting machine in a polka dot embossing folder. Next, I stamped, cut and mounted the sentiment on card stock. All of the edges are lightly inked with Perfect Plum ink to help them stand out better. A sheer ribbon bow and enamel dots finish off my card.

Pansy Arrangement

Howdy - MichelleO here and this week for High Hopes Stamps I went really girlie... Flowers and a little bling so pretty! This is Pansy Arrangement I just love them. 

Now as I first sat down to color I just knew I was going purples... But I ran across this pattern paper from Graphic 45 that just called out and made me use it - so off went all the purples and then I started going for dark pinks and peach colors. I think it works... I did find that I need more peach colors with my Copics.. ha! I really thought I had most all of them, but I am missing a few... will have to look into that! 

I sewed down the layers onto a white card stock base, and then cut out the pansies with an oval stitch die. The High Hopes Stamps sentiment "Smell the Flowers" seemed perfect. Wait... Pansies do smell right? Oh well it is the thought - for a finish I found some bling enamel dots that worked as embellishments. This card reminds me of my Grandma.. She would have loved it. Maybe that's why it makes me happy.

Pansy Arrangement!

Hi!

I think Pansy's are one of my favourite flowers. I love that they are early bloomers and they can last all summer if you treat them right. I picked all the dead flowers off my pot last year and it bloomed like crazy all summer! And not to mention all the different colours you can get! This is the High Hopes stamp called "Pansy Arrangement". 

I decided to colour my Pansy's purple using my Copic Markers (someone special I know loves purple and I was thinking of her as I coloured these *wink*). After colouring the image I cut it out with a Stitched Scallop Nesting Tag die and popped it up on my background with some foam squares. I kept my colour theme simple, just purple and green. The paper is from the Moda Scrap "Let Your Soul Bloom" 6x6 collection. I added a few branches, twine and gold gems to finish off my card. 

I decided to use this card as a sympathy card. I love the "Rainbow In Your Heart" sentiment also from High Hopes.

Copics Used:

Flower: BV13, BV17, BV08

Leaves: G43, G46, YG23

Outline: BV0000, BV000, BV00

Happy Belated Birthday!

Welcome HH Fans;

We have all done it, forget or be late with someone's birthday.  So to add to my birthday stash, I have a Happy Belated Birthday card for today's post.

Today's card is 5 1/4' x 4 1/2', a size that I haven't used for a really long time and I'm happy with how it turned out.

To obtain the decoupage effect, I stamped the Pansy Arrangement from High Hopes Stamps twice on XPress It Blending Cardstock, and coloured them both with copic markers.  I cut one using the Scalloped Die and the other one only the main flower arrangement was cut out and mounted with glue dots.
