InStyle Gift Box: Mellie

Hi All,

I decided to make a gift box to match the card I posted 2 days ago.  I decided to pull out my From The Desk Of Timeless Template from Papertrey Ink.  These templates are amazing and they only cost $5!

I printed the template base onto Chocolate Chip CS, and the separator is Kiwi Kiss CS.  I added a Tangerine Tango strip and a Whisper White strip punched with the Martha Stewart fence edge punch to the top.  The decorative paper on the front and the sides are done with Hawaii Papaya DSP.  I tied a piece of Tangerine Tango striped ribbon around that.

I printed Mellie on Neenah Solar White CS, coloured her with Copics, and cut her out with Classic Rectangle Nestabilities.  I matted that with a scallop rectangle from Kiwi Kiss CS.  I added a Tangerine Tango photo corner to that and mounted the panel with Dimensionals. 

I also took a picture with the box and card together.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #15: Peek-A-Boo

Hi All,

I spotted THIS challenge over on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog, and thought it would be fun!  Guest Krafty Girl Melanie has challenged everyone to make a window card!  I don't have much experience with these, but here we go...

My card base is Soft Suede, and on the front, there is a layer of Crushed Curry, punched at the bottom with a Martha Stewart edge punch.  The Suede and Curry layers were cut with Classic Oval Nesties.  I used my colour spirtzer tool from SU, as well as Crushed Curry and Soft Suede markers, and splattered colour all over the front of the card.  I also added a row of self-adhesive nail heads (purchased from Gina K) to the left side.  I tied some Soft Suede polka dot ribbon around the base, as well as a knot of Linen Thread.  I stamped the words "he he..." from Kimmie's Sassy Sentiments in Soft Suede ink.  I stamped the frame from Lola DaVinci on Neenah Solar White CS in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and coloured it in with my Blender Pens and Watercolor Wonder Crayons in grays and browns.  I cut that out and mounted it on the front with Dimensionals.

Let's open up the card.  I added a window sheet to the inside top, and covered it with a piece of Dusty Durango CS, also punched with Oval Nesties.  On the inside bottom, I stamped Lola DaVinci in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Solar White CS and coloured her with Copic markers.  I also stamped the frame again, but coloured it with bright, fun Copic colours this time.  I added another nail head to the top of the frame.  I drew in a floor and walls with a black marker, and sponged some Soft Suede ink on the floor - it just helps when your characters aren't always floating in space!  I stamped "Girls Gone Wild" from the same set of sentiments in black ink.

In my opinion, she's a pretty cute character! Great challenge!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

My First InStyle Card: Mellie

Hi All,

I made a bright and fun birthday card with my brand new Mellie digi stamp from In Style Stamps!   They sell her in rubber too, if you are so inclined!  I really love their anime stamps - I've always been partial to those Japanese-type images (ever since I was a little girl watching Sailor Moon! LOL).

I made a square card because I enlarged the image a bit.  My card base is Tangerine Tango, followed by a layer of PTI White CS, then a layer of Chocolate Chip, then some Hawaii Papaya DSP.  Across the bottom of that, I added a horizontal strip of the same DSP, matted with PTI White and Chocolate Chip CS.  I wrapped some Tangerine Tango striped ribbon around that base layer. 

I printed Mellie onto Neenah Solar White CS, and coloured her in with Copics.  I cut her out with Classic Rectangle Nesties, then layered with a larger Whisper White rectangle, then layered with a Chocolate Chip scallop rectangle.

On top of that, I added a Chocolate Chip corduroy button with Linen Thread (added with a Mini Glue Dot).  The sentiment is from Stamping Bella, stamped onto Whisper White CS in Chocolate Chip ink and cut out with my Curly Label punch.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Teacup Birthday

Hi All,

I decided to pull out my new Stamping Bella Teacup girls again - this time I used Scarlett.  These girls are soooo cute, and I feel like I want to collect more of them!

The Bellarific Friday challenge this week was to make a Birthday project!

My card base is Crushed Curry, followed by Whisper White, and then Rich Razzleberry.  On that piece, I embossed the top 3/4 with my Petals A Plenty embossing folder, and I wrapped some Rich Razzleberry polka dot ribbon around it.

On the bottom of the purple layer, I added 3 daises (Martha Stewart) - they are self-adhesive.  For the main panel, I stamped Scarlett on Neenah Solar White CS in Memento Tuxedo ink and coloured her with Copics.  I layered that onto a Crushed Curry piece which was punched with a postage EK Success edge punch.  The sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

I punched the butterflies out of Crushed Curry CS with the Martha Stewart butterflies punch, and added them to the right side with Tombow Mono Multi adhesive.

CHA Relay Card 4: Prince Ian

Hi All,

This is my card for the 4th free digi that The Greeting Farm is giving away.  You can actually get the jpg image on the blog HERE


This one is definitely a simple card - not many layers, not many embellishments. My card base is Blue Bayou, then a layer of Chocolate Chip, then a layer of retired SU DSP.  The square and rectangle panels are also DSP, matted with Chocolate Chip.

I tied 3 strips of True Thyme stitched ribbon around the rectangle panel.  I added some adhesive nail heads on the square panel, and also onto the base.


The main panel is a piece of Blue Bayou CS, cut with my Peony Nesties.  I printed Prince Ian onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured him with Copics, and cut him out with Circle Nesties.  I also sponged some True Thyme ink on the circle while it was still in the stencil.

I wasn't sure if I should add a sentiment, so that is still pending.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

CHA Relay Card 3: Cub Baby

Hi All,

This is my card with The Greeting Farm's 3rd free digi - Toby Cub! It looks like a Marina Neira design - it's a cute critter!


My card base is Whisper White, then a layer of Baja Breeze, followed by a layer of Sweet Slumber Specialty DSP.  I really love that DSP pack, and wish I had more of it. It's really thick and textured.

The next panel is also a layer of Baja Breeze and DSP.  I adhered a piece of Baja Breeze striped ribbon vertically across that panel, and then attached a bow I made with my Bow Easy.


Lastly, I printed Toby the Cub onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured him with Copics, and cut it into a rectangle. That was then matted with a Baja Breeze piece.  I stamped my sentiment "You Little Stinker" from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the left side of the panel.  I added some cute SU buttons to the right side with Mini Glue Dots.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

CHA Relay Card 2: Charlotte Looks Like Trouble

Hi All,

Here is the card I made with the Greeting Farm's second digi giveaway!  There is a crazy response for this challenge! Holy Moly - so much so, that their gallery crashed earlier because there were so many uploads!
Anywho, we got an email today from Mercy with our free digi image, and it was a Wild Sprout named Charlotte.

My card base is Very Vanilla. I went much simpler this time.


The next layer is a piece of Pumpkin Pie CS where the top third was embossed with the Mesh Cuttlebug folder. Below that is a piece of Rose Red patterns DSP, and below that, a plain piece of Old Olive CS.  I also rounded the 4 corners with my punch.

I added some Old Olive Grosgrain ribbon around that base layer.  The main panel is a piece of Very Vanilla where the top 2 corners were punched with the Tag Corner Punch.  I added a piece of Old Olive CS that was punched with the Martha Stewart Grass punch.  Beside that, is a layer of SU felt flowers from the Flower Fusion Accents and Elements tin with a Rose Red brad in the centre.


I printed Charlotte off onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured her in with Copics, cut her out, and mounted her on with Dimensionals.  The sentiment "Here Comes Trouble" is from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, and I added 3 Rose Red brads next to that.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Mojo Monday 123: Delight In Life

Hi All,

I usually don't get to participate in this many Mojo challenges in the same month.  Woo hoo!  You can find the post HERE.  I decided to make the circular card, because that is not my usual.




My card base is Taken With Teal, and I cut it out using my scallop circle die from SU.  For the next circle layer, I used my Classic Circle Nesties, and some SEI papers (their Poppy collection). It has lots of shimmery silver all over it.  On the left side, I used a piece of Whisper White CS embossed with my Cuttlebug Spots and Dots folder - I adhered a strip to the DSP circle, and trimmed the white piece to match the circle.  I put a strip of Bravo Burgundy CS along the right side of the white piece, and trimmed the top and bottom again to match the circle.  I distressed all the edges as well.


The horizontal panel is also SEI paper matted with Whisper White.  I distressed those edges as well, adhered it next to the burgundy strip, and trimmed to fit the circle.  On top of that piece, I stamped the sentiment from Miracles Blossom in Memento Tuxedo Black ink - it's kind of a cool effect because the silver parts did not accept the ink, so it looks like the sentiment is behind the silver swirls!

I added 3 SU buttons in the top right corner, all threaded with Linen Thread, and stuck with Mini Glue Dots.  I took some silver organdy ribbon, and tied a bow with my Bow Easy, and stuck it to the burgundy strip, and I stuck another button with thread on top of that.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

CHA Relay Begins! Mer-Ian: I Know Where Your Dirty Mind Was Going...

Hi All,

What do you think Mer-Ian's one deficiency might be? he he {blush}  Well, I'm not going to tell you what I wrote on the inside of the card.  My sentiment says, "The perfect Man? If it wasn't just for that one small problem..." .

Well, The Greeting Farm is having a really fun challenge over the next 5 days, and you have the chance to get 5 free digi stamps from them!  Visit THIS POST for the staring point.  They have posted the first free digi there: Mer-Ian.  You have to make a card with that digi and post it by 6pm, CST tomorrow (Monday), then you will receive an email with the next free digi.  It will continue on this way, and if you complete all of the cards, then you have a bunch of free digital TGF stamps!

Here is my first card:


My card base is Baja Breeze, followed by a Basic Gray layer punched with a Martha Stewart edge punch, followed by a layer of Walk In the Park DSP (retired SU).  The right-hand panel is Basic Gray and the same DSP, using the same punch on the right edge.

I used an Ornare stencil for the piercing on the 4 corners, and created faux stitching with a Basic Black marker.  I added some blue pearls (from Michael's) to the insides of those designs.
The horizontal strip is Basic Gray CS and DSP, with 2 pearls on the right side.


Ian was printed onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured in with Copics, cut out, and mounted with Dimensionals.  I cut an oval from Whisper White CS wth Classic Oval Nesties, and sponged Baja Breeze ink in the middle.  That was mounted onto a Basic Gray piece cut with Scallop Oval Nesties.

Now, for the sentiment.  I thought I would write something cute - I typed it up and printed it off.  I cut it out with my Large Oval Punch.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

What would you do if a person popped out of your box of chocolates?

Hi All,

I love what Stamping Bella is doing these days - their images and sentiments are so adorable!  I decided to make a Valentine's Day card today, as the season is quickly approaching.  Now, either this is a really small elf-girl, or a really GIANT box of chocolates - take it as you will.


My card base is Blush Blossom, then a layer of Whisper White, then a layer of Basic Black punched with the EK Success Fleur de Lis edge punch.  Next, I put a strip of Blush Blossom across that, which was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder (can't remember the name of this one.  After that, I tied some white organdy ribbon across it in a knot, and added a knot of Pink Gingham ribbon on top of that.


For the main panel, I stamped Valentina in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured her with Copic markers, and cut her out with Classic Circle Nesties.  I added a Basic Black circle and a Whisper White Scallop circle.


Then, I took one of those clip thingies from the Hodgepodge Hardware Antique Brass kit (retired SU), tied some Pretty in Pink and some Pink Ginham ribbons around it, and popped it onto the circle panel.  I am still deciding whether I should add a sentiment to the left side, but we'll see.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Mojo Monday 122: Special Someone

Hi All,

I decided to participate in this week's Mojo Monday sketch challenge from Verve.  I had an uncle pass away 2 nights ago, and the whole family is grieving - when I saw the Verve set Forever in Our Hearts, it made me think of him.  He was a very special person, and he gave me the appreciation I have today for the piano and for classical music.  So, this card is dedicated to him - I know he would have liked it...he was one of the few men to appreciate my hand made cards.


You can find this week's post HERE.

My card base is Whisper White.  My large panel is a piece of Hawaii Papaya DSP matted with Chocolate Chip CS.  The thinner strip is also DSP, but matted with Old Olive.  On the thin strip, I added a satin ribbon bow made with my Bow Easy.

I stamped the sentiment from the set in Memento Brown ink in the bottom right corner, and added some nail head stickers underneath (I bought those from Gina K).

For the main panel, I stamped the image from the set in Memento Brown ink onto white CS, cut out with my Classic Oval Nesties, and sponged Kiwi Kiss ink inside the stencil.  Behind that, I used a Chocolate Chip, then a Whisper White Square, and an Old Olive piece cut with a Label Nestabilities (#3?).

Thanks for stopping by...

Timeless Tuesday: Create A Scene

This week's Timeless Tuesday Challenge is hosted by Betty Wright - you can find the post HERE.  She has challenged you to make a scene on your card.  My scene is actually quite small, but I definitely put a lot of time into it!


My card base is Bashful Blue CS.  For the large panel, I used a Basic Gray piece matted with a Very Vanilla piece.  I went around the edges of these 2 pieces with a gold krylon pen.  On the base, I added some gold corner stickers.

On a separate piece of Vanilla, I embossed and cut using a brass emboss template from the Touch of Grace store (the Anja Frame Stencil #FE6122).  I also went around those edges with the gold pen. and added some pearls I got from Michael's.  Inside the frame, I did some sponging with Bashful Blue and Mellow Moss inks to create the scene, and I also stamped some grass in Mellow Moss ink (misc Michael's stamp).


I stamped the peacock from Strut Your Stuff in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Gina K Luxury Ivory CS, coloured with my Copics, and cut out.  It was mounted on with Dimensionals.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

For Ewe CASE

Hi All,

Another SU card - this time, I CASE'd it from Renee van Stralen - you can find her post HERE.  I used it because I thought it was a great way to show the Pun Fun set!

My card base is Whisper White, followed by a piece of Chocolate Chip, then a layer of Pink Pirouette, where I embossed the top part with SU's Snow Blossoms folder.
I stamped the sentiment "for you" in Chocolate Chip ink on that layer (it's from the Great Friend set).


For the horizontal strip, I punched a piece of Ruby Red CS with the Eyelet Border Punch, and topped it with a strip of Bella Rose DSP.

Then, I stamped the label image from the Great Friend set a bunch of times in Chocolate Chip ink onto Bella Rose DSP and Chocolate Chip and Ruby Red CS, and cut them out in various sizes and layered them.  I topped 2 of them with felt flowers (Fusion Too Accents and Elements tin) and SU buttons.

Finally, I stamped the sheep from Pun Fun onto white CS with black ink, coloured him with SU markers, cut him out, and layered him on with Dimensionals.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Mambo Always

Hi All,

Here is another SU card I made with the stamp set Always.  It is actually a CASE of a card on SCS by stampcrave, found HERE

My card base is Melon Mambo, followed by a piece of Very Vanilla, which is embossed with the Finial Press embossing folder.


The next panel is a piece of Very Vanilla rolled with my Swirls Jumbo Wheel in Blush Blossom ink, and sponged with Melon Mambo ink.  That was mounted onto a piece of Blush Blossom CS.

The heart from Always was inked up with Blush Blossom ink, then rolled in Melon Mambo ink, and stamped onto Very Vanilla CS.  I cut that out and wrapped some old pink SU ribbon aroung it and mounted it onto the panel.  I stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo ink onto Vanilla CS, and cut it out with the Word Window punch.  That was mounted onto a Melon Mambo piece punched with the Modern Label punch.

Plenty of Petals

Hi All,

I have been working on some simple cards with my Stampin' Up! stuff - it feels like it's been forever! I've been so bombarded by all the other things out there recently, I decided to go back to my "roots".



I actually made a card like this AGES ago, and I thought it turned out well, so I gave it another go.  My card base is Whisper White, and I couldn't find any Summer Sun CS, so I used some old Marigold Morning CS instead.  The top layer is Basic Black.  At the bottom of that, I stamped the sentiment from Wonderful Words in Versamark and embossed it with Winter White EP.

I used the SU stamp set Pick A Petal.  I stamped the line art petal in Basic Black ink onto 8 different patterns of the Pink Flamingo DSP.  I cut each petal out and stuck it to the black piece.  I also stamped the line art centre on a piece of white CS, cut it out, and sponged it with Blush Blossom and Cameo Coral inks, then stuck it to the centre of the flower.

There will be more SU cards over the next few days - hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

**Added: I thought I would try to elicit some sympathy and show you what I have to put up with when I am crafting. ( You can even see the supplies from the peacock card just under him to the right).  Everyone.....meet Tiger.

Feel The Love Challenge - Not Your Typical Peacock

Hi All,
Once again, I am participating in a Flourishes challenge! Today is the deadline - you can find the post HERE.  The challenge was to make a card that was perfect for the seasons of love, as Valentine's Day is coming up.  What I know of peacocks is that they attract their mates with their colourful feathers and wide span.  I know that the males are the colourful ones, but I am ignoring that at the moment.

I decided to make another Clean and Simple (CAS) card.  The card base is Whisper White, with some score lines across the top and bottom using my Scor-Pal.
For the main panel, I cut out a Pink Pirouette Frame with my Label Nesties, and a white piece to go underneath.  I mounted both pieces with Dimensionals.  
I used the stamp set Strut Your Stuff - I stamped the sentiment in Memento Brown ink onto the white piece, and I added some pink pearls from Michael's to the left side.

I stamped the peacock in Memento Brown ink onto Neenah Solar White CS, and coloured it with Copic markers.  I cut it out (although it was a trifle difficult), and mounted it in the frame with Dimensionals.

Hope you enjoyued, and thanks for stopping by!

Timeless Tuesday - Red Birthday Present

Hi All,

This is my first time participating in the Timeless Tuesday challenge for Flourishes - you can find this week's challenge HERE.  It is a sketch challenge this time, brought to us by Silke Ledlow.



I went with a Clean and Simple (CAS) card this time - usually I use a lot of layers, but I decided to scale it down this time.  My card base is Baja Breeze, and I embossed that partially with one of the Cuttlebug birthday folders.

The lined paper is from the retired Hand Drawn DSP from SU and punched with the Scallop Edge Punch.  The vertical layers are from the Bella Rose DSP pack, and I added some silver pearls to all the corners.

For the main panel, I stamped the present from All Wrapped Up onto Neenah Solar White CS with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and coloured it with Copic markers.  I stamped it again, coloured it, cut out the bow, and mounted the bow on top with Dimensionals.  I cut out the whole image with Classic Circle Nesties, and sponged Sahara Sand ink around it.  I mounted that onto a white circle, then onto a Sahara Sand cirlce cut with my Scallop Circle Nesties.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Yellow Flourishes Poinsetta

Hi All,

I got some stuff from the Touch of Grace store and decided to play with it.


My card base is Whisper White, then a layer of Basic Black, then a layer of Basic Gray. The final layer is Whisper White, and I dry embossed the corners with one of the Luxe Labels brass templates (AS 0703).

For the top layer, the mat is Basic Gray, and the top is Whisper White.  I used one of the Open Passe-Partout brass stencils (EH 1819, but I think she has discontinued it from the store because I can't find it) to emboss the white piece and cut out sections of it with my hobby knife to make it look like a medallion.  I added Martha Stewart self-adhesive pearls to each corner.


For the image, I used Flourishes Poinsettia and Boxwood set.  It was stamped twice onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured in with Copics and Distress ink, and cut out.  I layered them on top of eachother, then onto the card base with Dimensionals.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Farm Fresh Friday - Glitter and Glue

Hi All,

Well, back to The Greeting Farm - what can I say?  Well, I was browsing through all my Anyas, and decided that Ballerina Anya was the way to go! Isn't she cute?  You can find the post for this week's Farm Fresh Friday challenge HERE - the challenge is to use glitter and glue...anything sparkly and/or sticky!


I decided that pink was a MUST!  My card base is Whisper White CS, layered with Basic Black, Basic Gray, Whisper White, and DCWV All Dressed Up DSP.  For the horizontal layer, it is a Pink Pirouette piece, then a Basic Gray piece, followed by a Basic Black piece, which was punched with an EK Success edge punch.  I tied some Black Gingham Ribbon around that layer, and I added 3 pink Twinkle Brads from CloseTo My Heart to the corner.  Everything is so sparkly and glittery! 

For the main panel, I cut out a Pink Pirouette circle with my Classic Circle Nesties, and sponged some Basic Gray ink onto the bottom, then layered it onto a white circle.  That was layered onto a Basic Black piece cut out with my Blossom Nestabilities.  I sprayed some Glimmer Mist all over that circular layer for some shimmer.


I stamped Anya onto Neenah Solar White CS in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, coloured with Copic markers, cut out, and mounted on with Dimensionals.  I coloured her tiara and shoes with Atyou Spica Glitter Pens for even more sparkle.


I have never done such a sparkly card in my life! That's why these challenges are so good - push you out of your comfort zone into something interesting!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Francesca - Cupcake Girl

Hi All,

It's been a while since I inked up my stamps from Kaftin' Kimmie, so I just had to use one of her adorable images!

My colour scheme is based on SU's retired Afternoon Tea DSP - they are so soft and fragile, but I spiced it up a bit.

My card base is a 5 1/4" square of Whisper White CS.  Next, there is a square of Chocolate Chip, then a layer of DSP.


I put a smaller square of Chocolate Chip CS and DSP in the lower right corner of that.  I added paper piercing and faux stitching around that square, as well as inside the square. I used a Chocolate Chip marker for that. Around that entire base layer, I tied some striped Wild Wasabi ribbon in a knot.

To the top right corner, I added 3 paper flowers from Close To My Heart, topped with Martha Stewart self-adhesive pearls.


For my main panel, I stamped Francesca onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured her with Copic markers, and cut her out with Curved Rectangle Nesties.  I then traced the outside of the same Nesty onto the DSP, and cut it out by hand for the mat.  I added a Chocolate Chip Photo Corner to the bottom right corner, just so it would stand out against the bottom layers.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

On the 12th Day of Christmas, TGF Gave To Me...

Hi All,

***Before I show you today's card, I thought I should draw your attention to something.  Over on the Club Anya & Friends Blog, they have posted their Wild Wednesday's challenge - and Jessica at TGF has decided that everyone should CASE one of my cards!  Head over to THIS post to take a look and participate! Woo Hoo!
Alright, back to the card...

Well, it's so sad, but this is my final card from TGF's 12 Days of Christmas.  You can find the post HERE.


I decided to go with a much simpler card this time.  My colour scheme is based on SU's Fall Flowers DSP.

My card base is Whisper White.  Then, the rectangle is Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, and 2 strips of DSP.

The circle is also Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, and DSP, all cut out with Classic Circle Nesties.  There are also a couple of leaves and a flower from Close To My Heart stuffed in there for the Autumn theme, as well as a button on top adhered with a Mini Glue Dot.

I printed this digital Miss Anya Autumn onto PTI White CS, coloured her in with Copics, cut her out, and adhered her to the circle.  All pretty simple!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

MOJO 120 - Birthday Wishes

Hi All,

Second post for today.  The sketch over on the Mojo Monday blog is stellar this week! You can find the post HERE.  Teresa Kline filled in this week and did a FAB job!


Alright, so I forced myself to stop using DSP on a card...it wasn't easy!  I decided to use the colour from this week's colour challenge on SCS: CC252; Bermuda Bay, Certainly Celery, and Handsome Hunter + neutrals.

My card base is Certainly Celery, followed by Whisper White and Bermuda Bay - the last 2 layers were punched with my Ticket Corner Punch.  The Bermuda Bay piece was embossed with the Houndstooth Cuttlebug folder.

For the horizontal panel, the Certainly Celery layer was punched with the Eyelet Edge Punch, and topped with a Whisper White layer.  Next, I printed this Digital Ruffle onto PTI White CS, coloured it in with Copic markers, cut it out, and stuck it onto the white piece.

For the larger panel, I used Certainly Celery, Whisper White, and Bermuda Bay CS, which was stamped with the background stamp from Wishful Elegance in Bermuda Bay ink.  I added tiny rhinestones to that layer as well.  I also stamped the sentiment from the same set in Versamark, and embossed white White EP.
I stuck some Polka Dot Bermuda Bay ribbon to that layer, which was cut into a "V" at the end.  I added 4 flower brads to the bottom right corner of that.

I stamped the flower from the same set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto PTI White CS, coloured it with Copic markers and cut it out with Classic Circle Nesties.  I sponged that layer with Bermuda Bay ink, and matted it onto a Handsome Hunter circle.  I stamped the smaller flower onto PTI White CS, coloured it in with Copics, cut it out, and mounted it onto the larger flower.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!
