Good Sunday Evening to ya! Hope the weekend was fabulous for ya! We had a good weekend--I ordered my new laptop (a new HP Envy) can't wait for it to arrive! My old laptop is just driving me CRAZY I tell ya and I need a good laptop to survive and get my work done! LOL! The ghost has not been back thankfully, although I might add that our houses are built on old Civil War battlegrounds/campgrounds and property owned by Robert E. Lee's family---CREEPY to think about huh?!
FYI--I now have a Copic Color Chart that you can download and print HERE (also on my Tutorial page) thanks to my friend Marti! It has all the colors including the new 0000's and Spicas--just remember to print it out on the paper that you color on for a true color chart!
But anywho, I've got a special project to share with you tonight for Gina K's Card Club Kit Blog Hop!
I just adore this "Spring Florals" kit by Gina K Designs--so many beautiful flower images to work with! I knew I wanted to create a field of flowers in red (my fave color) to use on my project tonight. I cut a circle out of my cs with my Circle Nestabilities then stamped the floral image multiple times around the bottom of my circle. Then I colored with my Copics (R29,R24,R22,R20,RV10,Y11/G67,G21,G20).
I kept the makeup of this card pretty simple--just squares of cs stacked to let the flowers shine! The yellow cs was embossed with the CB Morrocan Embossing folder that I have. The bow was made with the Bow Easy! The soft sky background was done with SU ink and my Tim Holtz Inkssentials Blending tool (love that thing)!
Up close, you will see the NEW Ultrafine Flower Soft I used in the center of each flower--love the soft texture it gives to a card! And then I added some Viva Decor Glitter Liner (see my videos for info on these under tutorials/templates) in holo irridescent to the leaves for sparkle! A pretty sentiment and some pearls finish this card off!
There are many more projects that can be found in the StampTV gallery by clicking on this tag: springflorals
Such a pretty card Suzanne, I love the feel of Spring it shows. If only Spring would hurry up and get here!

I love love this set of stamps!! Your field of flowers is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS, Suzzanne!!! LOVE the colors you used. Have you seen Paranormal Activity??? LOL Good luck with your ghost...I'd leave! LOL
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, So glad the ghosts gave you a restful Sunday, love your beautiful spring florals in the most wonderful fun colours and in all their glittery goodness. Hugs Jodie from Oz
ReplyDeleteVery bright and festive!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteYour card reminded me of an embroidery hoop. It so separates the flowers from the rest of the card...beautiful! So full of Springtime! Bring on the warmer weather!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, love your colors and the soft centers of the flowers!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you used, too! And also the blossoms you´ve decided for...
ReplyDeleteLove the florals.. and the colors are fab..
ReplyDeleteAnd yes is it spooky now that you gave us a history lesson on your property...
Suzanne, Gorgeous card! I love the bright colors and the design!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Maybe some day spring will actually come. I wondered why you would have ghost as you live in a new home but that explains it living on a battlefield. Think of it maybe it is Robert E. Lee himself. How cool would that be. I'd be spooked beyond belief. Any way great job as always.
ReplyDeleteLove the bright beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne, I am happy that your friend has not come back to visit. I have to tell you this is right up my hubby's alley, so he is enjoying your story. Men! As for me I am freaked and I don't live there. I just love this card. I just purchased my a flower stamp set and I can not wait to take your class so that I can do it justice. lol...Have a great March 1st. Hope your is a sunny one. The sun is already shining here and the high is suppose to be 58 today. Hugs, LIsa
