I Brake For Beautiful Flowers!

Happy Saturday everyone!

Renee here!

I just received a new shipment from I Brake For Stamps and I couldn't be happier!!  It's like Christmas when I open a new box of stamps.

Today I'm sharing the set called BOTANICAL.

 It's a set of five, two images and 3 verses.

I've also used the verse OLD FRIENDS.

Not only were there stamps in my box but some beautiful WILD ORCHID FLOWERS as well!

The flowers actually inspired my whole card.  I tried to color the image to match the flowers.

I used 2-tone Champagne Pink Cherry Blossom,  10mm Golden Yellow Open Roses and 15mm Cream Open Roses.  Aren't they gorgeous!  You can trim the stems off if you like but often I curl them (using my piercing tool) and leave them sticking out.  I think it gives them a bit of a whimsical vine look.

My family has 7 birthdays in March so I always have to get started early.

This one will be for my sister-in-law.

The birthday sentiment inside is also found in the Botanical set.

Here's a close up of the beautiful flower.

I Brake For Beautiful Goldfinches!

I stand in awe….

I’m so sorry I've been so quiet but I’m starting to feel much better. Went to the doctor got some meds, she did lots of tests and the results was pneumonia and how fun is that?? So now it has been 3 and half weeks and I’m finally feeling like I’m a person. That was not fun at all. I did what the doctor said lots of rest, sleep, drink water and take my meds. That really takes everything out of a person. No more about this for the rest of the year…. Over at The Outlawz Twisted  Thursday challenge has started and the twist for this week is to make a Circle card. So I made a circle easel card.

My beautiful Goldfinch is from I Brake For Stamps. What I did was look up the Goldfinch on line so I would get a good picture of the Goldfinch and this is what I came up with. I love birds, I have six feeders in my backyard and I keep them full all year long.
The lace and chipboard I had in my scraps.

At the bottom of the easel card I added a sentiment  that is one you can pick up at I Brake For Stamps, love the words and how true they are. My rose is from Hobby Lobby in the bridle department. Added some pearl pen color pearl white.

These are the copic markers used to color the image. Here is the close up of the pretty Goldfinch.

Thanks so much for stopping. Have a wonderful week, hope all is well on your end. I’m so behind on everything. Someday over the rainbow… I Have no idea why I said that… Take care everyone!!
