Hibiscus

This gorgeous flower is from Innovative Stamp Creations, the set is called Hibiscus Flowers. This is the second largest flower stamp on the sheet there is even a larger one, its huge! I've made this card for a couple of different challenges the first one is at Innovative Stamp Creations and is an inspirational challenge. I chose to use the flowers and butterflies. The butterflies are from the set Birch Tree Paintings also by ISC. The second challenge is by Card Positioning Systems (CPS) which is a sketch challenge. The third challenge is at Stamptv and it was to take some flower stamps and stamp up a garden. I would love to stamp more than one of these hibiscus flowers but they wouldn't fit on the card! I love this huge flower and if I got only one of these to grow in my garden I would be sooo happy!

Mosaic Card

I've never done a mosaic card before but after seeing a lot of them over at Innovative Stamp Creations (ISC) I decided to try one. I brayered the background on two alike and left out the yellow on the third. Just stamped in black and I was done. I struggled with what paper to use as a background and finally decided on wallpaper! lol It's a gorgeous marble sample of burgandy and gold that my son brought home from work. Kids gotta love them! Here's Innovative stamp Creations website take a look at their creations.
