Hi stamping friends, my head is going in circles. LOL! I made this card with the Lacy & Lovely stamp set for the Colourq challenge this week. I cased this from the Annual Catalog but wow does my card look different and a great manly card I think. Don't you? I got my house cleaned and I don't know how feeling the way I did. I am still waiting for the house lookers. They are coming tomorrow. It is a beautiful day here. Not really humid which is so nice.
Here I used the Netting Background stamp and stamped it on the Pear Pizzazz with the same color ink. I cut out a hole with the 2-1/2" Circle Punch. That was kind of a challenge itself to have it centered perfectly and stamp the Chocolate Chip inside the circle. I used the Lacy & Lovely set and I stamped the biggest design on Chocolate Chip withe the same color ink. Then I stamped that same design on More Mustard with that same ink and punched it out with 1-1/4" Circle Punch, Then I stamped the little flower on the border in Chocolate Chip ink. I stamped the design with the points in Chocolate Chip ink and then fussy cut it out. I stamped the little flower again in Daffodil Delight ink and punched that out with the 1" Circle Punch and then stamped the design again and punched out the center with the 1/2" Circle Punch. Then I put a little Vintage Trinket Brad in the middle of that and used the Mini Glue Dots to attach it. Then I layered the whole piece on with Dimensionals. I made a Miss You tag and wrapped around a piece of Daffodil Delight Grosgrain Stitched Ribbon. I think it turned out pretty cool don't you.

Here is this weeks challenge:
Hi stamping friends, I hope your week is going great. As I was eating my breakfast this morning I looked out and saw my Delphiniums in full bloom and I was thinking of how beautiful they are. They are such a beautiful bluish purple color that I couldn't copy very well with any of our inks. I just looked at the calendar and can't believe it is almost July, where has the time gone? I haven't even gone camping or fishing yet. Dang! YAY though you can get the Reason to Smile Stamp set for only $5. with a $50.00 purchase in July and us demos get to order from the Holiday Catalog. I can't wait and am happy that is one of our perks as being a demonstrator.
I stamped the frame here in Cajun Craze and then used the Netting background to make it as if you were looking through the screen. I stamped the frame on typing paper and cut out the inside of the frame to use as a mask for the screen stamp. I stamped a second frame and popped it up with dimensionals. I stamped the flowers in Concord Crush and then used the Island Indigo on top of the ink to make them sort of two tone. I used the Papillon Potpourri for the butterfly. The tag is the Apothecary Accents and the words are from One In A Million stamp set. I am really happy with the way it came out, what do you think? I added little pearls on the top and bottom of the little flairs on the frame. You can hardly see them in my picture. I should have probably added them to the tag too but I didn't.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Papaya Collage, Papillon Potpourri, One In A Million, Netting
Card Stock: Sahara Sand, Whisper White
Inks: Concord Crush, Cajun Craze, Gumball Green Marker, Island Indigo
