The “Blooming” Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the "Blooming" Technique Tuesday blog hop!!  Good to be with you!
It's that time again and the Stampin Techs are sharing with you projects we made with some of TT’s newest Flower stamps. You can find them all in the Nature section of Technique Tuesday’s Web site. 

 

This was a fun card to make.  I really liked the Romantic Rose set and new it would go perfectly with Lily Bee's Raspberry Polka dot.   I wanted to make the rose pop so I used embossing powder for this effect.

GCD Studios Oh Happy Day!

Hey there!  Okay so for today's post, I was asked to use household items on a card.   I used GCD Studio's Oh Happy Day collection for both of my cards.  The first one I used a mini popsicle stick.

 

 

For this next one I used a straw I had in my kitchen.  Turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself!

March Take 12

Alright so I am posting my first completed Take 12 Layout of the year.  I have the photos for January and February but am wanting to put those on paper still.  For March I went digi.  GASP!  I know.  I just wanted to play and here is what I came up with.  

 

I used Template 11 from Ella Publishing's Take Twelve kit.  I used Pink Paislee's Bohemian Bliss Digi papers. Super simple.  There just didn't seem room for embellishments.   It was fun to put together though!  Thanks for stopping by!
