HYCCT - Wish Big and Send Flowers!

This was created for the HYCCT challenge to send flowers to a cancer patient.  I used the SCS sketch for this week.  There were so many layers to the sketch for this CAS stamper that I decided to make them all white which would make the focal panel pop.  I did an emboss resist with the flowers and sponged the panel with Distress Inks.  The white panels were all embossed with butterfly embossing folders.

Cherish

I used the colors from this week's SCS color challenge and the sketch from today's SCS sketch challenge.  I am submitting this to Simon Says Stamp challenge blog - theme is April Showers and/or Spring Flowers. 
I stamped the Technique Tuesday Rose with Memento Tuxedo Black onto coral card stock from my stash and then highlighted the flower with Copic Markers.  I matted the image with white card stock.  I embossed the background with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  Patterned paper is from PaperTrey.
Sentiment is also from Technique Tuesday.

Tuscan Villa Scene

When I saw the sketch on SCS this week I immediately thought of this image from Stampendous.  I stamped it with Memento ink and colored it with Copic markers.  I used a long rectangle nestability to cut it out.  I used two Sizzix embossing folders for the two back panels and matted them with blue card stock.

This is the card I created for the SCS sketch challenge - SC384 - using the colors from this week's Color Throw Down - CTD191:

I sponged on a little of each of these colors then stamped the silhouette image with Versafine Onyx Black.  The corners were cut with a Cuttlebug Decorative Corner die and then the image panel was matted on black card stock.  The white panels were embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder.  I added turquoise rhinestones to the corners for a little bit of bling.
