Flowers, Faith, and Teapots!!

Hello everyone...it's always a great Monday when I can join in the CAS challenge on Splitcoast and how fun to be making Spring cards!!! Don't be shocked now...I made a no layer card...yikes!!! The flower image from Rubbernecker's Wildflower set #465 was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. Three buttons were added to the flower centers. The sentiment is from Rubbernecker's Floral Silhouette set #467. A large eyelet and the ribbon finish it off.
This is also for a few other challenges:
Pile it on - flowers
Cute Daisy May Challenge - bright and cheerful
Crafty Creations - friends theme
Totally Papercrafts Challenge - buttons and bows
Hand Full of Stamps - open
The Pink Elephant Challenge - use ribbon
Polka Doodles - use flowers, hearts, or both
Belli Challenge - ribbon

Recipe:
Stamps: Rubbernecker Floral Silhouette set #467, Rubbernecker Wildflower set 465,
Paper: White
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Large Eyelet, Ribbon, Copics


I made this card for the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoast yesterday. How exciting to open up the gallery and find Laurie (HamiltonGal) is the Features Stamper!!!! Laurie's gallery is sooo fabulous....I had such a hard time deciding which card to case!!! I finally chose her FS152...CASing ARdodd baby card because it was sooo pretty and since I wasn't able to play along in the FS152 challenge, I got to case both these wonderful stampers!!! The same basic layout was used but the colors, stamps, and theme were changes. I also changed the main image layers from round to oval. The cross from Clear Dollar Stamp's Peace for the Journey was stamped with Berry Sorbet and the sentiment was from the same set. I also ran the white background layer through the cuttlebug with the Dotted Swiss folder and used SU punches for the sentiment.
Recipe:
Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps Peace for the Journey
Paper: White, PTI Berry Sorbet, Memory Box dp
Ink: PTI Berry Sorbet
Accessories: Silver Pearls, SU Punches, Nestabilities, PTI Ribbon, Martha Stewart Scalloped Border Punch

I finally made it to the Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Tea Party....it took me a day to gather up all the tea sets and then I got stuck on a slow boat that was headed to China...yikes!!!! Since we will be serving at least 42,000 teapotters and since Bodacious is a bull in a china closet, I figured we would need lots of china!! Get the whole story on da Mudder's blog....she has the scoop!!!Three rows of three inchies qualifies this for Splitcoast's Ways to Use it challenge, too!! The challenge was to use an odd number of things such as 1-3-5-7 brads, images, ribbons, etc. The Rubbernecker Coffee and Tea Inchies were all stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. I used my favorite dp, Sugar Rush by Basic Grey, and silver pearls, ribbons, and a clip finish it off.
Recipe:
Stamps: Rubbernecker Coffee and Tea Inchies
Paper: White, Almost Amethyst, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Certainly Celery, Basic Grey's Sugar Rush
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Silver Pearls, Nestabilities, Clip, Ribbons, Copics, Dimensionals
