Pink Flowers and Butterflies and Tutorial

by

Happy Sunday! After receiving several requests yesterday I have added a Rosebud Tutorial to my tutorial pages if you would like to check it out.

I have another floral project to share with you today.  I used the Spellbinders Blossom Two die set and EK Success mini daisy punch to create the my flower.

I cut three sizes of the flower and punched one mini daisy and then cut down towards the center between each scalloped edge to form petals. I distressed each petal on the flowers to curl and add dimension. I sponged Shell Pink ink on each petal to add depth of color to the pink and filled the center with three tiny pearls.

I used the Spellbinders Foliage die, Poppy Stamps Gentle Leaf die and Martha Stewart Branch punch to create the foliage spray around the flower. The foliage was distressed and then sponged with Shabby Shutters.

I think the little pink butterflies with pearls are the perfect finishing touch along with the gorgeous embossed background.

Well…..I have to prepare myself for the upcoming full five day work week. Yikes.  After being off 1 1/2 week and then only having to work four days last week I believe I have a long week ahead of me.  LOL  I hope you are having a great day and I really appreciate you stopping in.

  2. This card is beautiful. I, too, wish you did not have to work because I love visiting your blog. I understand what it is like to have to work and I can tell you from my experience there is nothing like retirement. You are so talented and have such a wonderful eye for balance and color. Since first visiting your blog a few weeks ago I have purchased many of the items you have used and I have to say the MS branch punch is a gem. I hope you have a good week at work and I look forward to reading whatever you have time to post.

  3. Another ‘pretty in pink’ … LOVE IT! I have been practising the flower tutorial but am still having trouble with the larger flowers. But I am not one to give up so I will plug away until I get it figured out. And I agree with you about the butterflies … they are finishing touch.

  5. Kitty I just love your 3D cards. Like Anne Hartschlag I too have started ordering some of the dies that you use. None have come in yet, but I can hardly wait to get started creating using the tutorials you so kindly provide. Thank you for sharing your talent.

  6. Hi Kittie.
    Met you at Stampfest in June and have followed you blog ever since. I was disappointed to see that Rubbernecker won’t be at the Stampfest in Clearwater in February.
    Love all your work! Thanks so much for sharing with all of us. You are certainly talented.
    What punch did you use for the white flowers yesterday? Love the whole white cards!!
    Have a great week and don’t let work get you down.
