Season Of Friendship & Picnic Parade

It sure is like spring here today! It was so beautiful walking for hours, taking in the beauty of the Cascade mountains in the distance and the cherry blossom trees just coming in to bloom. Sunshine and warm temperatures, what a gorgeous day!
I took my inspiration for today's card from the Lark website with this lovely Spring print shown in the first picture.
Season Of Friendship on River Rock cardstock with Whisper White and Banana. Tree was stamped with Creamy Caramel craft ink, flowers and leaves with the old retired SU chalk inks by Colorbox. Also used Picnic Parade for forest creatures. Three flower punch with subtles beads for centers. To curve up the petals of these flowers, put them on your foam piercing mat and press down in the very center of each flower with your Empressor stylus. This forms a perfect little cup shaped flower that is so adorable! I added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds in among the beads for additional sparkle.

Terrific Tulips

The Limited Supplies challenge on SCS today was a super fun and creative one for President's Day. Clues for today's Honoring A President challenge:
1. Nicknamed Dutch
2. Played college football
3. Radio Announcer
4. Hollywood Actor
5. Captain in U.S. Army
6. Governor of California
7. Two term President
8. Has the same birthday as my husband!

Yes, it is Ronald Reagan :)
I used Terrific Tulips and Netherlands by SU, both retired sets, Pattern Packs II paper, Regal Rose, Celery, and Whisper White cardstocks.
All supplies are Stampin' Up.

Friendship Flowers

This is Friendship Flowers from Artful INKables. I used watercolor paper for images and re-inkers with an aquapainter water brush to color. Mojo #80 sketch for layout, Apricot Appeal and More Mustard along with one of the 6X6 pattern pack papers from SU.

Just Buzzin' By

Just Buzzin' By colored in Copic markers with Tea Party paper, Dress Up ribbon, silk flowers and flower brads.

Flower Fairy

It was very hard to get a good picture of this, I have been temporarily booted out of my stamping and photography areas due to construction. Roughing it on the dining room table for now...

I have had this stamp for years and this is the first time I've used it. Colored the image in Copic markers. The card base is actually Handsome Hunter, it looks darker in the photo. It was wheeled in matching ink with the Always In Bloom wheel.

Serene Spring

Very limited supplies today with ribbon and eyelet punch only for today's Limited Supplies/Go Green challenge. I used this cute bunnies designer paper by Best Creations and colored in Serene Spring with Copic markers for today's green challenge.

This second card is for 3 challenges:
Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #69
Limited Supplies 208 to use green and no more than 2 embellishments.
Our Doubledog Dare Challenge (DDC) this week hosted by Julia (artystamper) to use this image.
I couldn't decide whether to emboss the Paisley in gold or silver, so I used both. Paper strip on side is from crafty Secrets and sentiment computer generated.
