Pansy Petals

I loved this Pansy Patch bundle as soon as I saw the new catalog!  I bought the whole Pansy Petals Suite so I could get the paper, embellishments, etc. I had Monday off (Patriot's Day for MA) so I decided to get some uninterrupted crafting time in!  The Pansy Petals Suite did not disappoint!  There are so many ways to use the stamps, dies and designer series paper.  Some of the dies coordinate with the dsp so you can cut a whole sheet of leaves and pansies and not stamp a thing except the sentiment.  

I used the dies for the first card.  The pansies and leaves were cut and glued together on a Stitched Sweetly panel.  The base is Gorgeous Grape, the pansy Fresh Freesia (personal fav), and the leaves in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent.  I embellished with some gorgeous brand new In Color jewels.



On the next card, I stamped the pansies (two or three step stamping in the same colors listed above.  I embellished with an adorable bee trinket, mounted on a Stitched So Sweetly panel and adhered to a Soft Succulent base.  



The third pansy was cut in Whisper White, Gorgeous Grape, and Bumblebee.  I took a Blender Pen and Bumblebee ink, cut down the color a bit, and simply added some streaks where the dies are indented.  The Bumblebee dsp is from Pansy Petals.  It's gorgeous!!  There are some ginghams, florals, etc.  The base on this is Gorgeous Grape, and I added a cute bee.




And the fourth was made by cutting the pansies and leaves out of designer series paper.  I cased the catty on this one.  Let me know if you have a favorite.  I'd love to hear what you think! The catalog has great ideas!  If you need one and you are not working with another demonstrator, please let me know!  I'd love to send you one for free.
