Floral Punch Craft - Sweetpea

Started with an A6 finished size cardand using a smaller cream card stock I stamped the background stamp (By Inkadinkado) and coloured the little flowers with a Sakura pink stardust pen and fastened the green ribbon around the centre of the card.
I cut out some rectangles using the nestabilities and stamped the words sweet pea (by PTI)on the smaller set.
I made the Sweetpea flowers using the Punch Bunch sweetpea punch and added the vines by cutting slivers of the green paper used for the leaves and wrapping them around a pencil to get the spiral shape.

The White Poppy

With this card it was inspired by a 12 x 12 paper I found named white poppy so I thought time to get the floral punch craft out again and creat my favorite flower in white.
I love white and gold together so I used a gold paper for the leaves and layered gold under the oval and poppy paper too.
I tied it together finishing with a pretty white ribbon.

Run...

I thought I would carry on the men's black and white theme with this Zebra card.
I stamped the Zebra image by Beeswax directly onto the card then started to stamp up the rest of the components to make up the scene starting with the rocks in the bottom right corner then stamping over these with the grasses I then stamped the tree branch in the top left corner and stamped the larger sized grasses in the bottom left corner all of the scenery stamps are by Stampscapes.
using cut n dry foam I sponged a little of the black ink around the edges of the card to give the image some depth I finished the card by adding the 2 poppers to the top right corner of the card.

Finished card size is DL

Thomas Kinkade Lighthouse

Thomas Kinkade stamp and the Verse stamp just have to be my favorite stamps for making a card for a man and both can be found at Cornish Heritage Farms
I started with a white base card by stamping the grid (guide lines by PTI) directly onto the card and stamped the compass (Father Knows Best PTI) on top of the grid.
I then stamped out the lighthouse and verse onto white card stock and cut the lighthouse into 3 I mounted all off the pieces onto black card stock and attached them to the card using foam pads evenly spacing the lighthouse image.
I punched out 2 holes in the left bottom corner of the card and threaded through the ribbon.
All stamping was done in black onyx versafine ink.
Card finished size is A5
