Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

After I made this card I realized it qualifies for the Black, White, plus One more challenge at Stamptacular Sunday. I made this using Parisian Breeze specialty designer paper, as well as black and white cardstock all from SU. The sets are also SU: Fifth Avenue Floral, Soft Summer (sentiment only), and the butterfly from Great Friends. I stamped everything that is black with versamark first and then black embossed it. The words from the Friendly Words wheel are black embossed right on top of the specialty paper.The butterfly and flowers are baja breeze. The black ribbon is from the Valet ribbon collection from SU.

Flowers for Mother

I love the flowerpot cards they are posting over at SCS. I just had to try one. My favorite was one made by lesarapp that had a shabby chic look and dimensional flowers. She made hers using a scalloped heart nestivities for the petals. I dont have them. What I do have is SU's Simple Flower Embosslits. So I made three flowers in Pink Pirroutte and one in Old Olive designer paper. I crumpled up the three pink flowers, sponged the edges with Chocolate chip ink, and stacked them on top of the green flower (which is acting like the leaves) and secured them to the pocket that goes into the pot with brads. I will be showing this at my May stamp club (fyi, ladies). I embossed the pot with the dotted swiss embossing folder and used the scalloped eyelet punch along the flowerpot rim. There is a great tutorial by Stephanie Luman on how to make these.
