Summer Flowers

Happy Friday!  I have a few cards to share with you today.  They are all made with an Authentique 6x6 paper pad, which means that the papers mix and match so easily!  We're celebrating May Flowers this month and one of the patters I like best in this set is a blue floral.  I used full sheets and a few scraps to make these flowery cards.

I sponged a little Memento Teal ink around the edges of the Argyle Ivory flowers to  blend them with the papers and collage image from the Young Lovers sheet.  There is a little bit of blue on each layer.  The word Beauty is from a Gold Glam sticker sheet called Bloom, which is full of wonderful flower shapes!



Using the same sticker sheet, I used Bloom and five of the florals.  For the big flower, I stuck the leaf down on a solid yellow scrap from the paper pad and cut around the leaf.  A small piece of double-sided adhesive or a little glue stick will hold that part of the leaf down for you.  I did the same with the big blossom on a piece of the dark teal paper.




This card has more of the Bloom Gold Glam stickers.  Three little scraps were cut into flags.  I think they help bring out the patterns in the little honeycomb shapes.  This large bloom was stuck to more of the yellow and trimmed down.



Thanks for stopping by to check out my cards.  And here is the moment you've been waiting for...the Special Secret Discount code is MOMMY!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
