Flower Soft and Card Positioning Systems

This little guy is from Flower Soft's Moments in Time stamp line - the set is called Best Fishes. I did my watercoloring with reinkers, and I attempted a little lake scene behind him as well, then stamped Porcelain Crackle (Impression Obsession) over the whole scene for a vintaged look. The little border I tucked in is cut with a Fiskars rotary cutter. I used the sketch from CPS (#200) this week - Flower Soft is this week's sponsor, so if you're looking to increase your stash of fluffy stuff, check there for another chance to win!

I used teeny strips of paper to 'thread' my buttons... I did use Flower Soft on my card, but only a tiny bit - right at the 'splash' where his fishing line meets the water, there's a pinch of Polar White.

Come visit us tomorrow for another Flower Soft Sprinkle Challenge!

Celebrate Card Making!

Did you know there was a holiday just for Card Making?

Today (Saturday, October 2nd)  is World CardMaking day.  To celebrate, I wanted to share a card with you. 

This past week, Flower Soft sponsored Card Positioning Systems blog.  This is my card for this weeks sketch.  You can check out the CPS blog for several other cards created with Flower soft. I used the NEW Cute Christmas PaperCraft CD rom.  Let me tell you, there is almost no end to the great papers and images that are on this CD and it is so easy to use. 

The red, printed, Santa paper that I used for the background on my card is on the CD and what is super cool is that all of the papers can be printed in few different color choices.  I printed the Santa with the little bear image and the patterned paper on Curious Iridescent Cryogen White Cardstock.  Images print so wonderfully on this paper and it has a slight sparkle to it.  I used the image in the jpeg version so I could pick the size I wanted it printed in. 

Here is a close-up of the Santa with Bear image.  I so love to use the Polar Ice Flower Soft, it is perfect for the Santa beard and hat trim.  I added a little bit of two brown shades of Flower Soft on the bear.

Flower Soft and Card Positioning Systems blog

This entire last week, Flower Soft has been the sponsor at Card Positioning Systems sketch blog. What that means is that some of the CPS gals were given some Flower Soft products to play with. If you take a peek at the whole weeks cards that were posted using this weeks sketch, you will see some pretty neat examples of using Flower Soft, both by the CPS team and by the Flower Soft team.

This is my card using the sketch. I wanted to find yet another fun way to use the Flower Soft so I punched a flower out of cardstock and went to work.

All I needed to do was to apply the Tacky glue to the outline of the punched out flower and then I added the yellow Flower Soft. The middle to my flower is a punched out circle and that is completely covered in Flower Soft. The scallop edges label piece is a downloadable piece from Flower Soft. It is one of the newer images that are meant to combine with the Spellbinder Nestabilities. I don't have this particular die so I cut my image out by hand. The yellow colors and the little flowers are already on the piece.
