CIC125 Lilies of the Field

Welcome! I'm so glad you could stop by and check out my artwork.

Today I'm sharing a card inspired by this week's Cupcake Inspiration challenge.

Aren't those flowers gorgeous! I love flowers and while the season is rapidly winding down for my own flower beds I'm still enjoying a few blooms.

I love the colors on these cupcakes and while blog surfing I came upon this card by Laurie Jones that I really loved. A "light bulb" went off in my head right away I got out my Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set (SU) and set out to create my version of Laurie's card inspired by the colors and the lilies from the Cupcake Inspiration Photo.

So here it is...

I really love how it turned out and hope you do as well.

*Just a note: I made 3 masks of the lily and masked off while stamping the different colors.

Welcome to the newest Annabelle Sketch Challenge.  Isn't this a "fun" sketch.  I wasn't able to participate in last weeks sketch challenge so I'm happy that I was able to get a card ready for this week.  For my card I used 3 of the newest Annabelle Stamp Sets.  The flowers are from:  Floral Stems (ABS014), The sentiment is from: Flowers With Love (ABS016) and the border/bling is from: Build-a-Bling (ABS012). 

What's great about the Build-a-Bling stamp set is that you can use them as a "guide" for adding your bling but you can also use them for creating unique borders or mix and match them with the bling like I've done here on this card.

In keeping with one of my goals this year to use up my patterned paper I'm once again using the patterns seen in this post:

I love how bright and cheery the colors look and the sparkle on the DCWV paper is just wonderful. 

Don't forget to stop by the other DT members blogs and the Annabelle Blog and leave everyone some comment "lovin" because it's always nice to hear that you like what you are seeing.
