Curtsy

I wanted to show you this easel birthday card that I created today using Curtsy from Sugar Nellie.  I actually forgot about this stamp.  I was digging through a pile of stamps just looking for that perfect stamp to use when I came across this little cutie.  So of course I needed to ink her up and here's what I came up with . . . . . .

 The sketch is from this week's challenge at The Sugar Bowl.  I decided to go with a red and white theme. I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils. Then cut the image out in an oval, backed it in red card stock and cut around it with scallop scissors.

The embossing is done using a  cuttlebug dot embossing folder. I punched the monarch butterflies out of red card stock. I added 3 white pearls to the center of each one and then added garnet red glitter glue to the wings.

Thanks

Here is a thank you card I created using Tilda Picking Lilacs from Magnolia Stamps.

 I started with a dove flower card base. I added a piece of white card stock that I embossed using a cuttlebug dots embossing folder.  I cut a piece of light orchid ribbon and added it to the center of the embossed card stock.  I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils.  I cut the image out in an oval, backed it in wisteria card stock and then cut it out using scallop scissors.  I created a bow using the same light orchid ribbon and added it to the upper corner of the image.  To the opposite bottom corner I added 3 purple paper daisies and some leaves I punched out of sage green cardstock.  I added purple pearls to the center of each flower.  I stamped the thanks sentiment directly onto the card.  Then I punched 2 monarch butterflies, one out of sage green and the other out of dove flower.  To the dove flower butterfly I added 3 light blue pearls and to the sage green I added 3 light green pearls.
