Floral Happiness

Welcome to our March Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month's stamp from Close to My Heart is "Floral Happiness" and is available exclusively through your Close to My Heart consultant from March 1 - 31, 2013. You can purchase this stamp set for only $5 with a qualifying purchase.

If you have just hopped onto my blog, please start at the beginning at Lucy's blog – Love 2 Create If you came from "Priscilla   " of " Priscilla's Paperie then you are in the right place!

For my base I used a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 white card base. To that I cut a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of buttercup card stock, a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of twilight, and a 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 patterned paper from the Chantilly paper pack. I   then stamped 4 of the small roses in cotton candy ink, and out lined the center of the flowers with a cotton candy marker from Close To My heart. The markers come as a duo, and I used the darker pen of the 2. I stamped the smaller leaves in Pear, and then the stems in Topiary. I added a wee bit of silver glitter glitz to the center of the roses. The bow is seam binding ribbon. The sentiment is heat embossed using midnight black opaque embossing powder (from my stash), and the sentiment is from Scrapbook statements-Poets.

I made a card using buttons! I stamped the stems using stamp set C1441 Affection, in Topiary ink. 

I used buttons on various colors for the flowers, using bakers twine for the centers. For the sentiment, I used stamp set D1283 Say It In Style, and stamped it using hollyhock ink. I used liquid glass to glue down my buttons, just to make sure they stayed down.

Supply List:

Z1370 Pink assortment buttons

Z1372 Green assortment buttons

clear button and yellow button from my stash

Z1702 Bakers twine, Paradise assortment

D1283 Say It In Style

C1441 Affection

Z2128 Hollyhock

Z2155 Topiary
