graphic 45 Time to Flourish ..the June papers. I think by now you all know how I feel about Graphic 45 papers,so we will get straight into the description!One layer on my cardstock ( stampin up pink piroutte) with a corner rolled down and a brad to hold it in place. I punched a border with Martha Stewart lace doily punch – this is my second one – I wore the first punch out…and a piece of lace trim and little bows over the top.The rose was fussy cut from the paper.I have taught a couple of classes this week, and had a great time with my ladies.I have also made a couple of purchases – some flowers ( can never have enough) and a few copic markers – yes I have given in and bought some. I had bought quite a few kaisercraft fusion markers, but they dry out very quickly and it appears that they have been discontinued so, really if I want to keep colouring I had no choice. we will see how I get on with them! til tomorrow…..

More ideas with dies
The paper I used here is Tropical Punch by Kaisercraft, and the Die is also by kaisercraft. I die cut the feather and ran it through the cuttlebug swiss dots folder. I used the off cut from the feather die to sponge through to create the inked images on the patterned paper.( tea Dye distress ink).A flower, punched leaf,and bir ribbon bow and this one was complete!

Pink Paislee Bella Rouge and C C Designs stamp
Two very similar cards today,both made with pink paislee bella Rouge paper collection, and stamped with C C Designs Cupcake Birgitta stamp. I coloured the image with Kaiserfusion markers,and added assorted flowers and a ribbon bow. the spellbinders dies I used were Timeless Triangles and opulent Ovals.Such a busy time of the year! No time for crafting so far this weekend, but I am going to go now and sit down with some stamped out images and my bottles of re-inkers and relax in front of the tv and do some colouring so that when I do get back to the craft room I have some images coloured and ready to go!Til tomorrow…..
