The Power of Flowers....

We have a new challenged posted up at Simply Create today.....Power of Flowers.  You all blew us away with your Bold and Bright cards for the last challenge and we can hardly wait to see all your fabulous flower creations.  Be sure to pop over to Simply Create to see all the stunning cards the DT has made to get your creative juices flowing.

Here is my shaker card just packed full of flowers.  Stripe paper is DCWV; digital image fairy house is Tiddly Inks; coloring done with Prismacolor pencils and OMS; stamped fairy is Studio G; shaker has some round and mini flower sequins and glitter; Martha Stewart flower border punch; punched and layered flowers with heart brad center; flower fabric trim to frame image is from Hobby Lobby.  TFL

Top Tip Tuesday...... I have a couple of tips to share with you that I used on this card.

First tip is a technique that I learned a year ago and have only used it one other time.  Emboss white core card stock with Cuttlebug dots embossing folder and then sand lightly to reveal the white core.  Use markers on the embossed dots to make very cute dotted paper to match you project.

Second tip is the way I did my shaker for my card.  I recycled the plastic dome shape from some stickers that I bought.  This one was pretty shallow so it worked perfectly.  I actually used two of them exactly the same size so that I could stamp my little fairy on the inside of the top one to make her look like she is flying.

Sew Many Cards, The Cuttlebug Spot, Fab N Funky, Top Tip Tuesday, Tuesday Throwdown, A Spoonfull of Sugar and Party Time Tuesday

Here is my card for these challenges.  Printed papers are Basic Grey - Eva; digital images are Designed 2 Delight; coloring done with Prismacolor pencils and OMS; Stickles; background Sizzix embossing folder with ink on top; Spellbinders label dies; sentiment 3D glitter sticker is Miss Elizabeths; ribbon from my collection.  Spiral pop-up inside with Designed 2 Delight image.  TFL

TOP TIP TUESDAY Tip ---- This is a really great cheap homemade stamp cleaner/conditioner.  Can be used for rubber as well as acrylic stamps.

Mix in 10 oz. spray bottle, 2 TBLS Glycerin (purchase at drug store), 1 tsp. baby shampoo or baby wash, 8 oz. distilled water.  Can be mixed in larger bottle and then poured into smaller spray bottle.  I just spray a small amount on a cleaning pad and then rub your stamp back and forth to clean and condition.  You will be amazed how great your rubber stamps will feel.....even the really old ones this will condition them so they feel like new again.
Note- If using Staz-On ink on rubber stamps you will need to use some of the Staz-On cleaner first and then use the homemade stamp cleaner/conditioner to keep your stamps conditioned.
