Hi, I had a break from my craft room recently due to quite a few other things that were happening, some good, and some otherwise! Hopefully things will settle for a little while now.
This card started out as 2 pieces of flourish left from another project and 1 flower. It was for a sketch challenge, but it kept growing LOL!
The die is a fairly new purchase, MFT leaf filled flourish. I can cut 5 from a piece of card and then use up the scraps for bits of leafy flourish. My snippets habit is getting a bit compulsive!
The flowers were stamped, fussy cut and coloured with inktense pencils in carmine pink and shiraz. Great name for a colour! I shaped them a bit using a stylus on a mouse pad and popped them up with foam dots.
I'm visiting the snippets playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop. I thought I was in time for last week's fun but the gates had shut, so I'm an early bird this week!
The theme at Addicted to Stamps & More is CAS.
Materials used:
Stampin Up flower shop stamp; MFT leaf filled flourish die; distress inks; inktense pencils; black opal stickles in the flower centres; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting :)

Lovely card...great way to use up those little bits. Sometimes I find a whole leafy spray is too big and often cut them down! This is a great snippets card.
Great florals Cathy - loving the leafy scroll too ... Mxxx
Love those flourishes and fab dogwood flowers in my favourite colour.
Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM this week. :)

This is gorgeous, you've coloured those flowers superbly. And I like the hammered card base too. Thanks for joining the CAS challenge at ATSM this week, Anita x
How do I love this card... let me count the ways. The colors, the theme (I love flowers), the clean white base and etc... Just plain beautiful, Cathy!

Hi Cathy, love snippet card - those flowers are stunning. Elizabeth xx
so pretty....
This is one STUNNING card! Those flowers have been gorgeously colored, and the flourishes look wonderful. I especially like that dimpled cardstock - what a fantastic combination of crafting supplies!
Pretty flowers and flourish! I think you're going to really enjoy that flourish die!
So pretty, Cathy ... fantastic shading and shaping ... just lovely! Anita :)
Very pretty with some nicely intense colors! I like your slightly textured card base for this card. It adds a little something.
Wonderful card Cathy... love both flowers and dies used... great work. Shaz in Oz x
