Another Birthday card with Hydrangea!

Yesterday when I was visiting fellow stamper's blogs, I stumbled onto these 2 challenges. ... I realized that there are soooo many challenges on the blogging world!! Anyways, when I saw this color challenge at CR84FN , I thought of my fav. Hydrangea stamp. Then I stumbled onto another challenge. It's a sketch challenge at Splitcoaststampers, and I, again thought of Hyrangea stamp. Then I remembered I needed to make a Birthday card for Birthday swap I participate throughout the year, and need to make a card for June, I decided to make this card. I embossed the Kraft CS with Cuttlebug embossing folder for background. I cut out the hydrangea image, attached it with dimentional glue foams, as well as the sentiment. I punched out 2 butterflies from 2 different colors of papers. One on the top has shimmer in it, but it would blend in to the background CS color, so I punched the darker paper to adhere it underneath. You can see them on the 2nd picture. I used purple color stickles for centers of little flowers of hydrangea. You can see them on the 3rd picture. Thank you for visiting my blog today :-) Hope everybody is safe from "severe weather"...

Easel Birthday Card

I made a very similar card for a blog challenge a couple of months ago. It was in Pink & Brown colors and it was just a TWO folded card. I really liked the design i came up with, and I had to make a birthday card very recently for the person who LOVES PURPLE, i decided to use the similar design but this time, i made it in Easel Card & also used the nesties. I just had to put tiny butterflies too, punched out from the light purple shimmer paper.

Simon Says... Martine's Sketch Challenge

I think this kind of sketch makes a nice "thank you, Just a note & hello" card. I used Icicle stickle in the centers of flowers. I luv Purple Flowers, all kinds :-)

Pink with Green & Brown Challenge

I made this card for Simon Says Challenge; Pink (or blue) with Green & Brown challenge. The stamp is from Hero Arts, 2010. I used MS's border punch, for both sides to make a lace strip. I'm attaching the pic. i took at nearby flower shop, a short time before i found this stamp, and i thought i had to get it when i saw it in the stamp store!! :-)
