Flowers

Good Morning everyone.  Well i can't believe its the start of the school Easter Holidays.  

Today im sharing 4 cards i made using left over paper pieces mainly from the same paper pad.  Also using beautiful Stamping Bella stamps that i won as a prize just before christmas from Di at Pixies snippets blog, thank you Di, these are my first stamping bella stamps and im very impressed with them. 

First outing for them is paper piecing which is one of my fav techniques, i do find fussy cutting out relaxing - although not in front of the tv or you might need a trip to the hospital as i did many years ago😀. 

6x6 White base card. I die cut a stitched square from white linen card smaller than my cardfront.  I stamped the flowers in black on the white panel where i wanted them.  I then stamped them again  onto various patterned papers and cut them all out.  Using a curved border die and some green paper i cut a piece to fit the bottom of my white square to act as the grass for my flowers to be growing out of. I edged the panel with green ink and attached to the basecard. 

I inked the edges of my cut of flowers, curved them and added over the black image with glue gel to give them shape.  I added on some stamped leaves and glitter to the stamens.  Die cut a white sentiment and adhered to the grass panel and mini butterflies to finish.

Made the same way as the first one, just different paper snippets in use and a scalloped 6x6 cardblank.  Hello sentiment.

This one uses the other flower stamp and leaf in the stamp set.  Made the same way as above but this time i stamped the flower onto 2 different papers, so cut out the full flower from the dotty paper and then the centre part from a yellow gingham paper which i added onto with more glue gel for dimension.  I found these leaves a tad too delicate to fussy cut out so i stamped them onto the panel and coloured with pens. 

and lastly, this one uses the same papers for the flowers as above, only the yellow gingham for the main and the dotty for the centre.  Get well sentiment.
