Grows with Love

This week's Sprinkle challenge over at the Flower Soft Forum (FSC29) is to use Flower Soft on cards that feature ovals. We'd love to have you join us, wherever that theme takes your imagination! I sort of missed the last challenge to make a frilly feminine card (FSC28), so I combined the two challenges.I watercolored this stamp called Grows with Love using reinkers, then cut out the image using an oval cutting template. I added dimension to the stamped piece by adding Flower Soft (Ultrafine Sage, Ultrafine Raspberry Fizz, Baby Pink); I also cut along the bottom of the dress and around the sleeve and bow, embossed from behind, then popped up those areas with foam tape.

Maybe you can see the cut and raised areas in this photo....
If you'd like to join in on the challenge, pull out the Flower Soft - you might even win a prize! Post your project in the Splitcoast Gallery by using the keywords flowersoft (one word) and FSC29. If your project is also Spring-themed, you can add the keyword FLOWERSOFTSPRING for another chance to win some great prizes. We'd love to have you join us!

Country Village

The Country Village Toppers feature beautiful artwork and are so fun to embellish! Here's a simple card I made from the Cottages kit. I cut out the foreground panel first, then layered the two panels together to die cut them (I used Spellbinders Labels 8). Next I embossed and debossed with a large ball stencil, cut out the door area, and used a glitter pen on the windows. I used Flower Soft on several of the floral areas - to the vines on the roof I added Ultrafine Sage and Raspberry Fizz. There is Lilac Flower Soft on the potted flowers, Polar White on the plant by the open door, and I mixed Polar White and Ultrafine Ocean for the plant in the foreground.Here are some close-ups of different areas of the card, so you can see the dimension!
Thanks for stopping by!

Just for You at Flower Soft and Sneak Peek at New Digi Papers!!

A very Happy Sunday to YOU!! I am thrilled to be the first on the Flower Soft blog to give you a wee sneak peek of the absolutely darling digi papers which match all the the Moments in Time line of stamps and toppers! There are so many exciting things happening at Flower Soft that you certainly want to check back to our blog often so you don't miss some of the excitement!! Not only will there be new products but Flower Soft TV will be coming very soon so I hope you will come over and sign up for all of the updates--there will be a magnificent prize for some lucky follower and special deals for all participants!

For my card today I used Bazzill for the base, all matting is SU, and the darling image Just for You was stamped on Cryogen White and colored with Copics to match the new, lovely digi papers which will be available from Flower Soft very soon!! I added a touch of Gold Stickles to the lace, Lilac, Lavender, Citrus Crush and Raspberry Fizz for all the flowers, and a mixture of Shamrock Green and Pale Green to highlight the grass. The image was propped up on a MS Quilted Punch Around tthe Page and yellow pearls were added to the junctures as well as to all corners of the card. To add vertical interest, I added a stripe from one of the new digi papers, using small lavender bows and yellow organza butterflies. To finish the front I added floral treatments using yellow pleated flowers by Maya Road.

I hope you have enjoyed my creation and will join us everyday as our Design Team Members will have some very lovely and exciting creations to show you...Enjoy your week...Hugs from Jacque
