Spring Retreat - All Adorned

Her are some more ideas from my last retreat day. I borrowed my friend Shannon's All Adorned Stamp Set since I was traveling. It make some really spectacular cards!

~Enjoy!

This one I started with a CASEd card from Pinterest. I switched out the colors for Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla. The sentiment is from Hello Cupcake. I used the retired Decorative Label Punch and the Bitty Butterfly Punch. The Ribbon is from the Sale-a-Bration Ribbon pack and the butterfly is topped off with some rhinestones. The navy background is embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. I just love how this came out!

I loved it so much in fact, I created a second one in red! This one uses the same elements but in Merry Merlot, Memento Black, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla. I used the Everyday Label Punch for the sentiment & it is topped off with the ribbon from my stash. I colored the butterfly's rhinestones with the Cherry Cobbler Blends Marker & then darkened it with the Soft Suede Stampin' Blends Marker. The sentiment is from Firefly.

This last one was switched up a bit using a single line of medallions. The colors are Bermuda Bay, Memento Black, Sahara Sand and Pool Party. The background is embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. Happy Birthday is cut from Well Written Dies. A piece of vellum anchors the sentiment and the copper and white Baker's Twine is from Layer Leaves Paper Pumpkin. The butterfly's rhinestones are colored with Bronze Stampin' Blends Markers. It is oh so pretty!

Home to Roost CASED

The Home to Roost Stamp Set turned out to be one of my favorites. This card was cased from one of my FAVORITE designers, Tammy Wilson over at Stamps, Paper, Scissors.

I wanted my card a little grungier than the pinspiration photo so I stamped a Whisper White background with Crumb Cake using the Crackle Paint Background Stamp. I roughed up the edges of my cardstock with a kitchen knife and then sponge inked the edges with Crumb Cake & a little Soft Suede only on the edges. This is all layered on top of a Whisper White card base. I cut a  piece of Daffodil Delight from the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper and lightly tapped a sponge against it to give it some speckles. I repeated the edging process again for this piece. I had recently attended a  swap and got the coloring of the rooster from that card, it is done with several Blends Markers and I purposely left the streaking of the colors. I edged the oval with some more Crumb Cake and did a little tapping just around the edges with a sponge. The leaves are cut from Pear Pizzazz and the Petals & More Thinlits Dies and it topped with some Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle. I added a little scrap of cheesecloth for some added texture. The sentiment is embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and the pearls are colored with the Light Old Olive Blends Marker. The little flower is one from my stash and a bow of Crumb Cake from the Nature's Twine set tops it off. I soooo love this card and the designer!
