Kinkade meets Floral Craft

A winter scene Thomas Kinkade Stamp inked with black ink and stamped onto white card then layered on top of red card.
I made the Poinsettia with the Mega Giant Dahlia Petals Punch
Added a sentimant ribbon tag and tied the ribbon around the base of the card.

Flippin' Men - Spinner

Just another way of making these.
I added the decoupage made by la Pashe front and back to a smaller oval than the apeture and added a string between the layers I attached the string on the inside of the apeture sticking it down securely with double sided tape then closed the apeture and viola, the image spins.

May the Lord Bless you.

I really need to move on from sympathy now but as I find myself surrounded in sympathy cards I seem to be getting inspiration from them which in turn is showing in my card making, I find this quite strange as normally I would find these the hardest cards of them all to make.
The cross is stamped directly onto the base card in a brown walnut distress ink then a couple of pearls added the sentiment is stamped onto one of the smallest label Nestabilities and then cut out the next size label in a brown card stock both stamps are from Every Day Blessing by PTI.
I stamped the next image by Clarity stamps onto a larger sized label shape and again mounted this on top of a larger one in the brown card stock.
I brought it all together with a chocolate silk ribbon.

Azalea's - Floral Craft

Although my head is still filled with blancmange I thought I would get back to my Floral Craft and make a couple of Azalea's, they are made using the large balloon punch and colouring the shapes with water colours then adhering them to a strip of paper and rolloing the paper up, then the odd tweek here and there and then adding leaves.
A simple stamped vine on the base card and a couple of nestabilities label shapes and finished with a ribbon.

Oh Holy Night

Getting back to my craft, I stamped the backround on the card using the a stamp from the silent night stamp set by PTI with a olive green ink, I cut a couple of label nestibilities and stamped the top one with a neol stamp and coloured the pear with H2O's, then sponged the bottom lable with the olive ink along with a spellbinders ribbon slide tag.
Layered it all together and added the olive ribbon to the tag and tied it around the card using a knot.
