Flowering Fieldflowers and my Christmas Tree

Hello, Crafters.

I hope you all had a truly joyous Christmas!

We certainly did and would have liked it to have gone on for a few more hours! 

To make today's card, I used the Sale-a-bration Stamp Set called Flowering Fields and my chosen colour is Calypso Coral.

I started with a card base of Whisper White followed by a Layer of Calypso Coral.

I embossed the top Whisper White layer using the Fluttering Embossing Folder.

I punched out four 1.25" Whisper White Squares and four 1 3/8" Calypso Coral squares. 

Using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, I stamped three of the different flowers on the white squares and painted them using inks and a blender pen.

The green ink I used is Old Olive.

Then I cut a piece of Calypso Coral Card Stock that measures 3 1/8" x 1 3/8" and a piece of Whisper white that measures 3" x 1.25".

Using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink I stamped another of the flowers and coloured in using the same method as previously.

I adhered the layers together with Tombow Glue and then adhered to card base using Dimensionals.

For each of the small squares, I cut 2 Dimensionals in half and adhered one piece in each corner.

The sentiment stamp is from the Amazing Birthday Stamp Set.

The full stamp has Happy four times but I wanted to keep the square to the same size as the three small flowers.

I covered the top two HAPPY's and the bottom BIRTHDAY TO YOU with tape and stamped in the Calypso Coral Ink.

I removed the tape and painted the last two lines using my Old Olive Marker Pen.

I huffed on the stamp to make sure all the ink was moist and I stamped onto the last small square of Whisper White Card Stock.

I finished off with a hand tied bow using out Whisper White Baker's Twine to the largest flower.

I'd like to show you my Christmas Tree as I have about
twelve of my handmade decorations on there. 

I've made videos showing how to make them all.

The decorations include folding stars, fir cone baubles (that holds a battery-operated tea light), German bells and baubles made from a Stampin' Up! ornament die.

I have quite a lot of my other hand made decorations around the house.

I'll try and remember to photograph them later today so I can share them with you in tomorrow's blog!

Until tomorrow, happy crafting.
