More Glads (yes more!)

Hi there! I'm still loving PTI's YOF Gladiolus set. I did something a little different with this one. I stamped the glads on PTI linen vellum. Then I colored and cut out just the flower portion. I stamped the glads again on some spring moss card. I colored the leaves and then adhered the vellum flowers. I mounted it on a plum pudding base. I used some simply chartreuse satin ribbon around the bottom. I added a little inking around the edges. Thanks for stopping by today! Its my last week off! Next week is the beginning of the school year. I just love, love, love the first day of school and the promise of a fresh start. Its the one time I really miss having my own class (I currently teach science to all).

What Can I Say...

I like to color! So I have another gladiolus card for you today. This one is done in shades of pink. Glads come in almost every color, my mom used to have pink ones, yellow ones, lavender ones. The overall card is pretty simple. Glads stamped on stampers select white (PTI). I colored with copics and added stickles to the middle. I adhered the whole thing to sweet blush cardstock with a scalloped polka dotted border (sorry no clue where that paper is from) and tied it up with a sheer white polka dotted ribbon (PTI). Thanks for stopping by!

More Glads

Hi y'all! I have some more gladiolus for you today. I am in love with this set from PTI. My mom grew glads in our garden when I was a kid and they remind me of her. I have always loved them. For this card I started with a kraft base. I stamped a few rows of polka dots with versamark and my polkadot stamp set. Next I stamped the glads on my bitty boxes patterned paper. I used smokey shadow ink. I colored the glads with my copics. I cut it out with my nesties (long scalloped rectangles). I added 3 spring rain buttons and some spring rain gingham. I couldnt find a good sentiment so I wrote my own with my uniball signo broad gel pen. Thanks for stopping in today!

Gladiolus

Hi friends! Today I have some gladiolus for you. These were just released by Papertrey Ink as part of their Year of the Flowers set. I colored them with my copics and I love how they came out! I used a base of plum pudding. I stamped the gladiolus in palette noir on stampers select white. I punched the tag out using my cuttlebug dies and stamped it with a portion of the glad stamp inked with plum pudding. I used mixed messages and black ink for the sentiment. Sorry for the poor lighting... I took the picture late at night as this card was off to my MIL early the next morning!
