Petal Pizzazz!!!

I woke up this morning and just had to make this card. This past week my son was home sick. He spent a lot of time sleeping on our bed. I spent a lot of time watching him sleep and staring at his gorgeous little face. But I also noticed our bedspread had some really pretty colors in it and the wheels in my head got to turning. The colors of my bedspread inspired me to make this card.
I used Petal Pizzazz Stamp set, which I totally LOVE! I just got it and have a million ideas for it!

I also used Certainly Celery, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink Cardstock and the Write Stuff Designer Paper for the Olive Polka Dot paper.
The inks used were:
Rose Red
Pretty in Pink
Old Olive
So Saffron
Brilliant Blue {retiring)and
Certainly Celery which was also stamped on the Certainly Celery Cardstock for a monochromatic effect.

Topped it off with a Rose Red 1 inch ribbon. I love this Ribbon!

I left it sentiment free until I know who I will use the card for. The inside is decorated as well.

I love this stamp set!!!

Isn't it funny how little things can inspire us!
Have a Happy Mother's Day!

Flower Power Workshop!!

Wow we had a busy workshop today!!  We made these darling Flower Pot cards, directions are on Split Coast Stampers.
We made one card using the Petal Pizzaz Stamp Set. It is the cutest stamp set !!  I just got it and love it!  I mounted it for use on our Acrylic blocks.  I just had to have it (!) and designed my Workshop around it.
The other Flower Pot card was made using several Sizzix Dies that we sell and Razzelberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper. We also did a third project but I did not get a photo of it. I also did not get Kerry or Patty in the photo. Round two of this workshop will take place next week because I can't fit everyone in at once! My friend Essie, ended up staying for more card making and dinner. My husband whipped up a great dinner and we dined outside and then came in to some chocolate covered strawberries that he also whipped up for us. Essie whipped up some fun cards with my Petal Party Card Kit she got after class. It was a fun day!
