| Hero Arts Large Flower Background |
I've had this stamp for a long time and decided to use it. I had a really difficult time getting a good photo because of the shine I wanted you to see. Oh well, and then I really didn't like how the inside turned out.....so you don't get to see it!! ;-) I also didn't want to cover that gorgeous background. I paint with Twinkling H2O's and for this card I used Ice, Luv-U-Pink, Buttercup, and Moss Green. IRL it has a wispy look and shines!!
- I stamped the Large Flower BG image on white CS twice with Memento Cocoa Brown, painted with Ice, Luv-U-Pink, Buttercup, and Moss Green; added Gold glitter glue to the centers of the tiny Buttercup flowers. Added white AB sequins with glue dots to the flowers here and there (like dew drops).
- I did cut out painted portions of the second image and mounted on the inside I'm not going to show you. LOL Anything you do with that will be better than mine I think. We all have bad days. The envy has a piece of that background too.
- Used the Perfect Layers 1/8" ruler for the shiny brown layer around the image.
- Used the Perfect Layers 1/4" for the white Laid CS layer on the bottom. The card measures 4.75"X6.0".
- The tag is the smallest die cut from Spellbinders A2 Curved Matting Basics B. With die in place watercolored edge with Moss Green. Stamped with sentiment from Flourishes Garden Picks. I would link, but have no idea what is happening for sure at Flourishes. I do know Power Poppy is open. The ribbon was a gift with a purchase on EBay.

Shirley, this is a gorgeous card. How beautiful are those big blooms and you painted them so pretty. It must have taken quite a while to put the Stickles on the center of the Buttercup flowers. But, well worth it.
Yes, we so all have some bad days in the craft room. I sure do! Today was one of them. Ha
Beautiful painting on this !! Just the right touch!!
Now you're making me curious as to what the inside looks like! If it's anything like the outside it's gorgeous!! One of my favorite color combinations is pink and green too. So beautiful and I know it shines!

Shirley, A gorgeous card that's for sure. I love the directions you've given...very helpful. Great job with the H2O's I need to start using mine....You've inspired me!
Beautiful card Shirley.
I love shimmer & can just image what this is like IRL!
I haven't pulled out my H2O's in ages, and you inspired me to do it. Your card is so gorgeous. Enjoy your week Shirley. Hugs.
Gorgeous, you did great!!!
Oh! I can see WHY you love that beautiful Hero Arts background image! WOWSER! gorgeous - but then, your intricate painting makes it even gorgeouser LOL Pink and green is one of my favorite color combos, so soft and peaceful - I imagine a lot of time went into the card (and it really is amazing) - you are likely your own worst critic on the inside, too LOL hugs, de
Gorgeous card, love those huge blossoms.
After all that coloring I wouldn't want to cover it up either, it is so pretty! I see I am not the only one that isn't always happy with my end results
Such a beautiful card.
Yes, I bet the inside is just horrible. . .right. . .uh huh. . .It probably looks better than the front of most of my cards! The background stamp you used on this is amazing. Love the colors. Hugs, Curt
I love your pretty twinkly pink blossoms all over the card! Sometimes the fronts are just too fabulous all on their own and the sediments are just fine placed on the inside.
I'm so sorry about Lauryn. I see other posts about a boy named Jonah. And a dear friend of mine (not of the stamping/blogging community)has a little two-year-old grandson named Hunter who is also fighting leukemia.
I wish I had the time and knowledge to start a sort of clearinghouse blog of just folks who need cards and need prayers. Sadly, I think there are so many that the updates would be constant.
I will add little Lauryn to my prayer list.
Have a great day, Shirley! Hugs, Darnell
Such a pretty card, I can see why your like the stamp, it must be really gorgeous with the twinkling H2os :D x
Gorgeous card Shirley. You really have a knack for making beautiful cards.
Shirley, this is just gorgeous card.
Hugs Diane
Shirley, GORGEOUS stamping and Love the h2o's you used for color! I wouldn't have wanted to cover that up either!

So beautiful card Shirley! Love colors.

Another beautiful card - love the choice of paper thanks for sharing!!!
Goodness- I love this image and the beautiful coloring! I bet the inside is lovely as well. Two is too little to be challenged in such a way!!!
Beautiful Shirley! Love that stamp and what a great background.
Love those gorgeous blooms, Shirley! Love the sparkle from the H20s too!
Gorgeous card Shirley! Your coloring with the H2Os is amazing!! Love that you just used a small tag die so we can see that awesome background!! How nice of you to be a part of such a wonderful cause for a sweet little girl!
Hi Shirley, beautiful design and it's beautiful what you are doing for little Lauren. I've donated cards to our local Sick Childrens' hospital, it's so sad what families are going through. Take good care, Shirleyx
Beautiful flowers, Shirley!
Halllooooo!!!! :)
Beautiful card - lovely colors!!!
I haven't been blog surfin much lately - working on some DT stuff trying to get commitments done through the summer - I have one graduating first week of June from HS and my college girl will only be home for a month this summer as she is going to Europe with ROTC for a month, so want to make sure I am free to cling to the kids like glue and make the most of the summer (the house is going to be very quiet come fall!!!)
Glad you stopped by!!!
wow- your stamping & coloring looks so perfect, I would have sworn it was patterned paper! I will certainly get a card to Lauryn too, thanks for sharing the card drive info!
You always create such fantastic background with your wonderful stamps and coloring. This creation is a beauty.
