Hi All!
Today I decided to use the same flower stamp set I used on this card. As with the other card, I colored this one with my Derwent Inktense Pencils also. I really like how these pencils blend. I used the Hero Arts Soft Granite Shadow Ink as a background again. It’s such a pretty shade.
I created the white border on my panel by using my Spellbinders die as a stencil. Be sure to emboss the panel after cutting it because otherwise it moves too much and you won’t get a crisp border. I made the vase, stem, and leaf using a few punches. One of the punches I got for free from the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration catalog. The sale continues through March 22nd (get a free item for each $50 you spend). If you’ve seen the Sale-a-bration catalog, you might agree that the layout is a complete disaster!! I have a simple version you can look at – much easier on the eyes.
Anyway, enjoy the video and I’ll be back next week with a fun ice cream stamp by There She Goes!!

I am very remiss at posting comments on your beautiful cards and super tutorials….sorry! I LOVE this card too…wonderful and fun!!!!! TFS!
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! I love how you made the vase for your flowers. How do you come up with these ideas???? It amazes me that you can look at those 3 punches and see a vase form. Thank you for sharing your creations with us.
That is utterly stunning! I got that set too so guess what I’ll be doing — copying!! Thanks for all of your inspiring work.
Ha! I commented on your Youtube channel that I am going broke buying everything you highlight…well I can’t really afford everything but I WANT to! Gorgeous card and thank you so much for making that sale abration catalog readable! Theirs is such a mess but you simplified it perfectly!
Really lovely card…thanks for the tip on die embossing the paper to form the frame. Love how you used your punches to create the vase.
Absolutely beautiful as always. Will have to look for those pencils they look to fun. Your vase idea was terrific, can’t wait to try this out. You bring such sunshine into our lives every Wednesday.
Gosh you’re good!! I love your cards – your instructions are always so easy to follow and you always share so many great tips. Who would have thought to use punches this way!!
So pretty!! and I really love how you made that vase! I always learn something new, Thank you so much for sharing
I’m always impressed with how beautiful your cards are without using any patterned paper! So creative.
Oh Darlene, your talent and creativity never ceases to blow me away. Love the way you colored that flower. I have a set of Prismacolor pencils and they also blend beautifuly. The way you made the vase for the flower speaks volumes about your incredible imagination!!!!!
Thank you so much for another fabulous video. I look forward to each and every Wednesday.

I always look forward to your video. You mesmerize me!
Hi there again, Darlene. I forgot to tell you that I love the new picture on your blog page. You are as beautiful as you are talented.
Lovely card (as always)! I was wondering if you’d be kind enough to share your “sandwich” for embossing the labels seven?
Thanks for showing how you did the vase, stems leaves. I’m always fascinated at the creative ways you experts can use a punch. This is a lovely card, & great video. Thanks for doing it so well.
i so look forward to you cards every week…you are by far the most talented at what you do!!!
So pretty! Love the shading!…this is such a lovely card….just love how you did it AS ALWAYS!
Love it!! I haven’t been able to put the Inktense pencils down since I got them over a month ago! Always enjoy your videos
Hi Terri – good question! It took a little bit of trial and error. My sandwich: tab 1, acrylic plate, die with paper inside FACING CUT SIDE UP, black rubber, black plastic.
I love your card and your video. Makes me in the staming mood right away! Thanks for sharing this with us.
