Flower Vases

Hi again!  Did you have fun on the blog hop?  Weren't the cards ALL just gorgeous?  Don't forget to check back at the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog for the winners! 
Well, this is a post-Spring Fling Blog Hop card using a stamp from the same set as my Flower Shop card below, Flower Vases. What's better than a bright cheery card in the dead of winter?  I wanted to use my Spellbinder's Daisy Border and so had to make the card 5 x 7.  The Daisy Hi from the Flower Vases stamp set was the perfect companion.  And, of course, all that sparkly goodness from Sparkle N Sprinkle, Lemonade and Spirited Green.   The butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch.  If you would like complete directions, you can find them here.
I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Crafty Emma's (CES) - Lots of Layers
If the Shoe Fits - Scrap it- anything goes
Allsorts - free and easy
Our Creative Corner - Flowers/ Friend
Scrapbook Sisters - anything goes

Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog Hop "Spring Fling"

Welcome to Sparkle N Sprinkle's "Spring Fling" Blog Hop! It won't be long before those cute little crocuses pop up.  Hang in there!

If you've come here by way of  Barbara, you're in the right place!  If you want to start from the beginning, go the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog and find out how you can win one of FIVE wonderful prizes.  You don't want to miss any of the designers' gorgeous designs!

  My first card uses the stamp set Flower Vases (#265), Waterfall glitter and SNS cardstock, Hurricane and Tickled Pink.  The details on the card take a little bit of time, but well worth it for that special friend.  This would be a great easel card, too, with a few rows of the punched grass on the bottom layer. For complete directions, click here.

My second card uses the set Spring Swirl (#425), the new embossing powder, Cerulean Star (for the vase and edge of oval die) and lots of other wonderful Sparkle and Sprinkle products.  The tulips too are made with sparkly embossing powders, Tequila Sunrise, Winter Berry, and Bullfrog.  For a complete list and directions, click here.The color combination reminds us of the colors that will be blooming outdoors soon!

Thanks for visiting and now hop on over to Karin for more inspiration! Don't forget to leave a comment on each blog to become eligible for one of the prizes! There are 2 grand prizes and 3 "mystery" prizes attached to 3 of the designers' blogs.
