Paper Piecing a Stamped Image

This is a video on how I paper pieced a dress to a stamped image. I've heard about people doing it but have not seen it so I decided to experiment a little.

Tilda with Flower Jeans Card

This is a card made with the Magnolia stamp "Tilda with Flower Jeans". The Image was colored with Copic markers. I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone with the Copic markers by using different colors other than my tried and true go to colors. I have a lot of different colors so I am trying to use them all. I also used a few Prima flowers, rhinestones and pearls. I used the pop out method to cut out my image with the square Nestabilities and framed it with the scalloped square. The borders were cut with two different Martha Stewart punches: "Arch Lattice and Swirling Lace". Ribbon, Stickles and a butterfly was added for accent.

The Copic markers used were: G20, 21, 24, 28. Y000, 11, 19. E11, 13, 25, 29, 47, 49.

Spica markers used were: Clear and Melon.

My Flower Garden

I have been working on cleaning up my flower garden. So far I have pull out all the weeds and laid down all the new landscaping fabric. I still need my mulch (which I will get tomorrow) and a double shepherds hook for hang two of the potted plants that I already bought. Each year for the last 6 years instead of buying cut roses my DH buys a new rose bush (2 have not made it). He buys different types and colors.

Cake Card

I have seen this card and really wanted to make one but did not know how. I searched youtube for a video and could not find one. Thanks to Norma from one of my yahoo groups for leading me to: http://stempeleinmaleins.blogspot.com/2011/02/torten-karten-tutorial.html

that had a written tutorial. So I decided to try to make one for myself and here it is.

Flower Organizer

Just wanted to share. I was at Wal-Marts about a week ago and found these document storage boxes with dividers and thought they would be great to store my flowers that I make. They are also a great size to fit on my shelf. I want to divide the flowers by color and size.
