Stamp TV CSS Hop

 Hallo,
   Welcome to another fun Stamp TV CSS Alumni blog hop. This time we have a great inspiration photo (first one :) to work with.
  If you are following along the hop then you should have come to me from Sharri - and I am sure she had sweet stuff for you!!!
  Remember to leave lots of sweet comments laong the way as we will be drawing for a HUGE grab bag of Gina K stamps from all those who comment.
  Personally I loved this photo - so much to chose from!!!! I first spotted the pillow and the big vase both with old fashioned redwork on them (not sure if that is what its called....) and then I liked the quilt and the vase of flowers.....
   For the redwork I used neenah desert storm with the lace doilly from 'Nana's Needlework' stamped onit in red for a background. (I had intended a 4X6 card but it kinda grew....)
  Next I used the quilt and shelf - also from the same set -colored with copics and cut out with a Spellbinders label die.
  
 Last is my vase of flowers -  the vase is from Melanie's 'Buds and vases' and the flowers from Gina's 'By your side' - also colored with copics.
   As I said my card grew to 5X7 because I wanted more of my quilt to show and I didn't want to cut off any of my vase and flowers - so I just made the card bigger :).  I couldn't decide what phrase to use so I added a row of pearls instead and some to the corners too.
   All for the evening - the teenagers are both out and about this friday evening and the DH is watching
 Nascar, so for me its either craft room, blog surfing or the couch with my kindle :) - or as the case may be it will probably be a bit of all of the above :).
  Have a great weekend!!!!
     Tera

Hi, Tera,
Wow, the coloring of your flowers floors me! They are exquisite! And you nailed the color of the doilies, matching to the bricks in the picture. And the pearls! Luv how you left one all by itself, all alone, over on the right. All of it grabs the viewer!

Just love your card. The use of the doily stamp on the background just gave me another way to use that beautiful stamp and the quilt stamp which I don't think I have ever used. Beautiful work on this card.

I love the doily print dp with the vase of flowers; a beautiful way to pick up the softer design elements.

I liked the doily stamp for the background, the quilt, the flowers, the embellishments - just Everything!
