StampTV blog hop color challenge

Hallo,
  Its time for another Gina K/Stamp TV CSS blog hop!!!! This time we are using the inspiration photo colors for our challenge.
  If you are following the hop then you came to me from the very sweet and talented Miesje - http://miesdf.blogspot.com/2012/06/css-color-blog-hop-682012.html

Make sure to leave lots of sweet comments along the way because  we are giving away a huge grab bag of Gina K stamps to one lucky commenter!!!!
  I had planned to get 2 cards done today but only managed one and have to run off to my DD's softball game :)
  I used the callas from the 'By your side' set and the phrase from 'Inspiration Mosaics'
  I colored the callas with copics and cut them out. They are layered onto a die from Cheery Lynn and some pretty DP.
  I used a piece of vellum and memento ink for the phrase and then a few little pearl drops with a gold viva decor pen.
   All for today - gotta get going (its looking like rain so wish us luck!!!!)
    Take Care
         Tera

Beautiful coloring - the vellum sentiment is perfect for the delicate background.

I love this - I though of using those flowers but.....I love your background!

That bg die is a stunning way to show of this stamp set, Tera. The vellum is also a great touch for the sentiment. I often forget to use that.

PS - I had never heard of Cheery Lynn (I'm new to all this) but now I think I'm going to have to order LOTS more stuff. Thanks :)

sharid said...

beautiful. Guess Cherry Lynn dies are on the list now. Have marianne dies, but this one you used is a beautiful addition for a card. Especially with the lilys.

Thanks

Beautiful card, I love the use of
the dolly die. Take care.

Stunning background!

jodyleblanc said...

Pretty card, I love the Calla Lilies. ;)

Margaret said...

Nice card! I love the Cheery Lynn die you used.

Victorianrose said...

Interesting background, lovely sentiment!

Pat Jandacek said...

An absolutely fabulous card - and you even brought the yellow spots from the background onto the vellum. I HAVE to get some Cheery Lynn dies - the thought of applying a glue pen to all those fine lines is the downside, but the effect is so stunning! TFS

Dee said...

Oooh! A really delicate and elegant card with gorgeous colors. Awesome!

Betty Neville said...

Gorgeous card Tera! Beautifully colored, and that die-cut is the perfect backdrop! Also love how you stamped the sentiment on vellum - must try that!

ddlady said...

Tera, using that large diecut as the focal point was something I would never have thought of. And the sentiment looks like it was stamped on ribbon instead of velum!
Nice job!

Kris in Alaska said...

Lovely... simply lovely!

Beautiful Calla Lilies, Tera. Very delicate and the background really sets them off.I thought at first the sentiment was on a ribbon - nice touch!

gorgeous die, great soft look, very elegant

Kwright said...

Loved the card and the calla lillies but I especially loved the die. Something I will have to check out for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Cathie Borowski said...

Love the background,gives it a unique look.

itzamitzi said...

Tera I really like the addition of the die cut over the card front. I like the way you kept the green soft as it lets the flowers take "center stage".

Alice H said...

BEAUTIFUL! Love the use of the vellum - another idea to keep in mind. LOVE Cheery Lynn too.

Unknown said...

I like the lacy effect of the card. So very pretty!
