CASEing MARY FISH

I found this card by Mary Fish so striking, I just had do duplicate it! I love her color combination of Poppy Parade, Old Olive and Basic Black! To create the flower, I used the new stamp set, Build A Blossom, and coordinating punch, Blossom Petals Builder. Both were originally introduced in the 2011 Spring Mini Catalog, and can now be found in the NEW 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog.

BUILD A BLOSSOM SYMPATHY

This card was inspired by Inkspirations Colour Challenge #74 of Basic Gray, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, and Whisper White and Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #122. My sister-in-law let me borrow her Build a Blossom stamp set and Blossom Petals Punch. Both were first introduced in the Occasions Mini Catalog, and fortunately made it to the new 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog! What a wonderful stamp set and coordinating punch ... definitely on my wish list! The flower petals and leaves are stamped in Versamark and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I rolled the petals around a thick highlighter marker to make them puff and curve.
