Blooming with Happiness and My very first Award!

Happy Y'all!

Cards for today is made with the same stamp set that I used from yesterdays post Blooming with Happiness. I was so inspired to use the set again. I just love the dress and wish I have the body to wear a dress like this ... but something inside of me keep saying.... LOL!

The dress is stamped on Whisper White card stock using Jet Black staz-on ink and water-colored with Regal Rose, Rose Red and Pretty in Pink classic ink and punched using Marvy Giga Scallop punch. You can't see it on the photo but the flowers are covered with Crystal Stickles. The card base is measured 4" x 4" of Regal Rose card stock and layered with 1 1/2" x 4" Rose Red card stock . Before the image is adhered with a Stampin' dimensional, a sheer ribbon is tied on the card. The prima flower is dipped on Iridescent Ice powder. This card is really pretty IRL!

I had a hard time on the color combination on the second card but I know I wanted to use So Saffron and prima flowers. I was going to my prima jar and yellow and blue looks great together. The dress was stamped on Very Vanilla card stock and water-colored using Bashful Blue and Ballet Blue classic ink. I wanted the dress to pop-up, so I added the Marvy Square Scallop punch and punch ed it again with 1 1/2 square punch. Layered it with 1 1/2 x 5 1/2 Chocolate Chip card stock, added 3 prima flowers and added rhinestones in the middle. Card base is measured 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and stamped single flower randomly with Versamark ink.
