Black tie Friday

It's Yellow and Black this week at Black Tie Friday! I pretty much like any color with black - It always makes the colors  pop! And colors I like! Anybody who has come to my blog knows that.....



So here is my take on it: 

I made this flower from six 1 inch circles and assembled them to this rosette. I punched a 2 inch circle into the front of the card and lined up the flower rosette on the inside of the card so that it is centered. I had this chevron strip (Papertrey Zig Zag die) left over from the fusion card - I never throw anything out - you should see my stash of paper scraps - it keeps growing and growing.....And lastly I put a ready made flower into the center of the circle flower.









 
By the way - I did not come up with the circle flower idea - I learned about it last year in the Clean and Simple online class I took. There is no sentiment here - I did not think it needed one.

Stunning card! So bright and bold in the black and yellow and I agree with you, no sentiment needed. Just fabulous.

This card is super cute, I really like the description of jovial on the front and your flower is really neat. Your zig zag is a great accent. Thanks for playing with Black Tie Fridays.

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
