Forever Florals for Fall

I have a lot of October birthdays on my calendar.

Orange flowers seem perfect for this time of year.

I did a little bit of stenciling with a stencil 
my good friend Loll had sent me.

I stamped the flower 2 times with Tangerine Tango ink
then colored with the Pumpkin Pie Blendabilities.
I cut one flower apart and added to the whole flower with a dimensional.

The flower center was colored with the Daffodil Delight Blendies.

To get a more Fallish look, I used a So Saffron card base.

Virginia's View Challenge

(I haven't played here in a while so I'm excited to be able to join in.)

We've had quite a rainy week, but no strong storms like some have had.
We're thankful for that and that we won't have to water the yard for a while.

Thanks so much for  your visit and your encouraging comments.

Enjoy!

Forever Florals Mambo

I'm still enjoying the Forever Florals set.

There are so many pretty flowers in this set

and they are perfect for coloring 

with the Blendabilities.

I used the Melon Mambo set to color this flower.

Then I masked it and stamped

with leaves from the retired Peaceful Petals set.

The leaves were colored the the Medium and Light Old Olive Blendies.

Having beautiful flowers to enjoy is a luxury.

And this flower would bring hummingbirds 

that are a delight to watch.

Forever Florals Thanksgiving

Addicted to Stamps

is having a Holiday week.

Love this Forever Florals stamp set. 

The flowers are perfect for coloring with the Blendabilities.

I used the Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Blendie sets.

After coloring the flower, I masked it and added some 

leaves from the retired Peaceful Petals set 

and a stem from Secret Garden (also retired).

It seemed perfect for a Thanksgiving card.

I'm so enjoying this set.  I find coloring these flowers very therapeutic!

Here's another very CAS card I did with this set.

There was a stamping boo boo and it ended up much smaller for cutting the bad out.

You can go to Splitcoaststampers to get the details on this one.

I'm so glad you could stop by.

Enjoy!
