Sweet Bloomin Scraps

Flowers, Birds and Turtle
Sweet Sketch 97

Sweet Sketch Wednesday

Sponsor:  Clear Dollar Stamps

Well, I'm back to reality! I had a great time visiting Arlana and creating my cards through April.

Can hardly wait for you to see what I created for you!

Today I have three adorable images from 
Clear Dollar Stamps

Basket of Flowers

On this card I used a new embossing folder from Quickutz that I purchased at the Scrapbook USA Expo called Flowers!  Wish you could see the sparkle in the center of the flowers on this image but my camera didn't capture it .  I think you can see the sparkle on the dragonfly, fronds and flower center. Not sure how I managed to cut the dragonfly out but it worked for me this time.   This image is a freebie at Clear Dollar Stamps.  Isn't is cute as can be? Just love that basket of flowers and the little dragonfly!

Turtle Greetings

I loved this Turtles Greeting image and thought it would make a fabulous birthday card for my grandson when he turns three....in another year.  I'm planning ahead!  As you can see I used Glossy Accents on his shell! I also used stickles on the flames and the turtle's party hat.  Then I just put together the little badge and used a marker to add the three.
Oh, the Nesti Pinking Circles is also a new purchase from the Expo.  I've been wanting that one for some time now.  I used it to make the badge too!

Love Tweet Love

 I'm always in need of wedding cards and thought this would be a perfect addition to my collection.  The embossing folder is another purchased from the Expo.  It is from Quickutz and called Swirls.  I added stickles to all the hearts and circles and on their head and tail feathers and added a little blue jewel in the center of the his flower!  Again my camera doesn't show the sparkle like I wanted it to but hopefully you can imagine!
