Welcome to the May 15th & 16th Blog Tour. Stop # 5 , Tour #6. This tour features 20 blogs! Each blog will show case a beautiful project using items from Stampin' Up!'s - Spring-Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog. Don’t forget to bookmark your favorite blogs as the links that make up this tour will disappear at midnight on May 16th.
I will be featuring the Bloomin' Beautiful set. I think this is one of my all time favorite sets, it is so versatile. One of my favorite altering projects at the moment is making these Stationery/Card boxes, they are so easy and fun to make and really complete the set nicely. I cut out the 3 flowers and adhered the stems and leaves to the box top, I used dimensionals under the flower itself to pop it up a bit. The ribbon around the box gives the flowers a "finished" look.
For this last card, I cut out the planter and adhered it directly onto the white cardstock, then I cut out the flowers seperately and used dimensionals to raise them and give the card a litle more dimension. I used my Watercolor crayons and Aquapainter to color the pot. The rest of the images were colored with markers.
