Floral Elgance and blog candy...

I love flowers!! Love them!! Basically I just love nature...birds, flowers, clouds (as you probably noticed a couple of posts ago), sunsets, waterfalls...yep, nature. So when I saw this new Inkadinkado set Beauty Stems from Here, I had to have it! You can get it too from Michelle's store Stamper's Dream. She has oodles of new stamps from a variety of companies, along with papers, ribbon, and new fun embellishments too.

For this card, I stamped the image twice onto Neenah Solar White with Tuxedo Black (memento), and colored it with copics. I then cut out the flowers and leaves and popped them up with dimensional tape. I thought the Ivory Crocheted Ribbon along with the irridescent ribbon would make a good combination with a buckle slider, so I added that above the scalloped border created with a Martha Stewart punch.

The gorgeous sentiment is from the Wonderful Wishes set by Verve. They have the most fabulous sentiments in the most wonderful variety of fonts.

Supplies:
Stamps - Beauty Stems from Here (Inkadinkado), Wonderful Wishes (Verve)
Paper - French Flea Market (BellaBella - My Mind's Eye), Sage Medium and White (Prismatic), Neenah Solar White, Vellum (SU)
Ink - Tuxedo Black (Memento), Cloudy Blue (Adirondack Dye Ink)
Accessories - Labels I Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Copics, Crocheted Ribbon and Iridescent Ribbon (May Arts), Buckle (JoAnn Scrap essentials), Scalloped Border and Butterfly Punches (Martha Stewart), Corner Rounder punch, Rhinestone stickers (Kaisercraft), Fancy Decorative Corners (Simply Swank), Ultrafine Glitter, Quickie Glue Pen, Sewing Machine, Dimensional Tape

Oh.....you probably are wondering about the BLOG CANDY mentioned in the title...*grin*
Okay. Well, I recently hit 100,000 views and wanted to thank you all for stopping by. Especially those who have been so supportive and have left comments. So, I have some fun goodies that I'll give away Friday before noon. All you have to do is leave a comment about what your favorite flower is, and I'll use random.org to pick a winner. Simple as that.
Mine is the Sunflower. I love it's texture, size, and actually the different colors it can be!!

Tosh- your card is simply exquisite!! I love all the vintage detail and the colors remind me of my favorite flowers - Blue Hydrangea.

Thanks for the breathe of Spring - it is still snowing here and one can only hope for green grass!!! Congratulations on hitting 100,000 Hits!!

Denise ~ Paper Ponderings said...

Oooh...I forgot how much I really love the sunflower. I think when I think of my faves, I think small, but sunflower is right up there at the top as well. I can't choose between the Japanese iris, carnation, and daffodil. Mmmmm!!!

My favorite flowers are spray roses. I have always loved all roses, but spray roses especially because there are a bunch of them on one stem, they are smaller, usually have a more curly petal edge and don't generally open up. Cool question, thanks.

I love most all flowers but, I really love the iris...

Hi Tosh! Congrats on 100,000 hits. I can't believe we can only pick one flower! It's like asking me what my favorite stamp set is or my favorite ink color. I can't possibly pick just one! This week I'm lovin' my red geraniums. So bright and vibrant and hardy! Love those little garden gems. In a couple of week's I'll be lovin' my bright orange Tiger Lilies and then my humongo Dolly Parton roses. Yes, they are named appropriately, they are HUGE! Anyway Happy Spring! :)

I just wish they lasted longer.

Your hard work really is appreciated. I just love it when you have a new beautiful card posted on your blog. My favorite flowers are zinneas because after countless failed attempts at growing other annuals, I do rather well with zinneas. My neighbors cheer when I plant them each May and express sadness to see them pulled out in late Fall. I really do feel planting flowers brings me closer to God! Thanks for the chance at blog candy!

Hi Tosh - Your card is so pretty. I'm right with you on loving flowers. I just love the ranuculus (and Gerbera daisies (how fun). There are just so many amazingly beautiful flowers in God's garden.

Love this stamp. You always make me want more stamps, and I have so many floral ones already. I have a hard time picking just one flower, but one of my favorites is the hydrangea. Unfortunately, it doesn't grow where I live - too cold. But it does dry nicely, so I can still enjoy it at home.

Anonymous said...

Hi Tosh!
It is easy to see why you made it to 100,000! You are an inspiration to all! I love to see what you have done.
As for my favorite flower, it would have to be Lily of the Valley. Today would have been my Mom's 79th birthday. I recently framed a painting that she had done in the 60's that is of Lily of the Valley. It is small, only 4x8 but I am so glad I found it--and YOU!! thanks!

I don't often comment, but I must say that this card is awesome! My son is graduating soon, from Boston College with his Master Degree in Theater, and I might use this layout for his card, maybe. My favorite flowers are Shasta Daisies and yellow roses. I love them when they are together in a bouquet with greens.

Congrats on hitting 100,000! Wow, I can only choose 1 flower? It would be easier to choose a flower I don't like! I love them all, but for the sake of commenting, I'll go with the geranium. There's a garden center near me that has a HUGE selection in the most unbelievable, vibrant colors.

My favorite flower is the tiger lily, the fragrant smell reminds me of the many flowers my DH gave me while dating. Good thing the fragrance brings back those memories---the flowers which were so abundant then are few and far between now, LOL!

What a lovely card. The colors are wonderful and I love the "Vintage" feel this has.

My favorite flower is a Carnation (love that smell) Roses run a close second and I have several in my flower garden that I enjoy every year.

What a gorgeous card! I hopped on over from Laurie's blog and it may not be my place to say, but what an incredibly kind and caring action you have done for her. Everyone should be as lucky as her to have a friend like you! My favorite flower is the frangipani!

Favourite flower? It's hard to name just one because I love so many, but I do love the smell of the lowly violet.

Gotta go with daisies! Always have loved those bright, spunky little flowers! Great tutorial and card! And thanks for taking such good care of our Laurie!

Jen said...

Congratultions! 100,000 is huge :)

My favorite flower seems to change. Love Lilacs (we used to have a lilac bush in the back yard of the first house hubby and I first lived in). And love jasmine... something so yummy about the fragrance. And honeysuckle. We had some in our yard when I was growing up. Such a delicate scent.
I don't live where there is snow any more but I remember LOVING when the Hyacinths would color our walk and border our yard. It meant spring was definitely here!
ok, yeah, i have a few favs. LOL

Congrats again on the milestone. Isn't it funny how you think "no one will ever come see my creations" when you first start a blog and then *blink* you're hitting 100,000!!

This card is soooo Gorgeous, love the softness in the flowers and butterflies, the lace with the punch is so pretty, great stitching too, can you tell I LOVE it!
My favorite is the sunflower too, I would like to grow some of the minature ones I have seen in fields but I always seem to plant the real tall ones, then in the fall I harvest the seeds and put them out for the birds during the winter months.

Unknown said...

What a beautiful card, you are a very talented lady :) Thanks for the chance to win some amazing blog candy. My favorite flower is the tulip, it always reminds me of spring and with spring comes new growth, and new beginnings. Congratulations on hitting the 100,000 mark!

I don't know if I can pick just one flower - I love them all! Blue and pink/purple hydrangeas and peonies are probably what I would pick if I could only pick one!

My favorite flower is the Gerber Daisy.

Contradulations on 100,000 hits!. I love your work and have visited your blog often for inspiration.
I love all flowers, but one that I think is really pretty but often overlooked it the Thistle. The soft lavender and sage green look so well together.

My favorite flower is also a sunflowers--I love how many different kinds there are!

Anonymous said...

As always, your card is beautiful. As I was raised up north my favorite flower was the peony because they come in the most spectacular colors. Now that I live in the south and peonies don't grow here, I guess I would have to say my favorite for the climate is hibiscus because of the varieties of blooms and colors available.

Sabrina Jackson said...

Wow, what a milestone!!!! Congratulations, Tosh!!!For my favorite flower, well, that would be a tough one, since I like flowers in general, but while we were stationed in Okinawa,Japan I had a closer look at Orchids (they love the moist tropical climate there ;P)and they are like a piece of art. They may look alike but are so very different in their own way. So, I guess Orchids it is. Tosh, also, may GOD bless you for being such a great friend to Laurie!!!

Tammie Koehnen said...

I think one of my very favorite flowers is Peony. They are so beautiful and smell fabulous! You blog is wonderful - you are so talented! Thank you for the inspiration and congrats on the 100,000 hits.

That was so nice of you to go to Seattle to be with your friend Laurie. Congrats on your hits. My fave flower is the daffodil. Coming from England I remember when daffodils would be planted all over the place and it was a lovely sign that it was Spring. Happy Days!!

My favourite flower is an Arum lily, you would probably call it a Calla lily. Where I grew up they grew wild and there were hundreds of them on the riverbank, so they bring back happy memories!

Wow - this is some impressive blog candy you've got there! Reaching 100,000 hits is pretty impressive, too - congrats!!

My favorite flowers are yellow roses. I like their soft colours, that they're elegant and that this is not the most common flower to usually be offered.

Have a great day!

I love wild roses:) they smells fantastic:)

Marilyn Hitterman said...

First of all, this is one beautiful card. The background looks like marble or ceramic. You really do a good job of coloring with the copics, Tosh. My very favorite flower is the Gerbera Daisy. I truly love all flowers, with the exception of Iris for some reason, but no other flower has such vibrant & strong colors and I love the perfectly flat flower heads. And I love the centers. Guess I'll have to stop myself because I'm going & going on.........!!

I think my favorite flower is the lilac's but I love roses and sunflowers.

Hi Tosh -

I love that card, the flowers are so pretty and delicate. My favorite flowers are Johnny-Jump-ups (tiny pansies). I just love their little faces. My other favorites are lilacs and lavender (guess you can tell I have a thing for anything in the shade of purple)! But I do adore the scent you get from Lilacs and lavender, clean and slightly old-fashioned.
I wanted to also say that I think you are very special. To take the time away from your busy schedule and your family, to spend time with a friend in need (like you did for Laurie), makes you a hero in my book! Everybody should have a friend like you.

Elaine Allen

I just found your site through Laurie's blog! I have already bookmarked it as a favorite and will be visiting often! Your work is gorgeous!
My favorite flower is, hands down, lilacs. I love them in any color or shade. They smell so amazing and make me happy. My first runner up is hydrangeas!
Congratulations on the success of your blog!
