BYSCH - Spring into Christmas 2025

https://byshcardmakers.blogspot.com/2025/05/spring-into-christmas-byshc-linky-party.html

I used a Gina K stencil for this card. First I stenciled it in turquoise distressed ink and the moved it slightly then stenciled over with silver stencil paste. I used a scrap of design paper from Graphics 45 that was left over by a previous card. The sentiment is from Gina K as well. In the center I used an crystalized dome of the snowflake.

This is the final day of this party and I have had such a good time getting some of my Christmas cards made and enjoying all the wonderful cards and ideas shared this week over at BYSHC. Thank you, ladies for all the work that goes into putting this on.

I stenciled the hearts onto the design paper with A Colorful Life stencil. I used a Power Poppy digital that I colored with alcohol markers. The basket is a digital from Impression Obsessions that is also colored with alcohol markers. I added some pink gemstones and pink enamel dots for embellishments. The sentiment is from Stampendous. It is stamped with versafine clair black ink. I used pink cardstock for the card base.

I made this card for the Alphabet Challenge for the letter B. My butterflies are from a Spellbinder set that included the die. I used distress oxide inks for the butterflies and for the leaf stencil. The sentiment is from Stamplorations. I stamped it in versafine clair black ink. I embellished it with sequins. The card base is olive green. 

Inspired by....basket of flowers

https://theseinspiredchallenges.blogspot.com/2025/05/inspired-by-basket-of-flowers.html

The basket I used on this card is a digital from Impression Obsessions and one of my favorites. I colored it with alcohol markers, which I also used for the coloring of my tulips that are from Power Poppy. Power Poppy has some of the most beautiful floral images out there. I found this gorgeous design paper in my stash. The sentiment is from Stampendous and I stamped it in versafine clair black. I used a sage cardstock for my card base. 

 

Cardz 4 Galz challenge - flowers

I love this tulip digital from Power Poppy and it looked so perfect on this beautiful piece of design paper that I have had in my stash for quite some time. The sentiment is from Kitchen Sink Stamps. I used a pink card base. I used alcohol markers for the tulips and I used versafine clair black ink for the sentiment.

I made this card for the Cardz 4 Galz challenge and the details can be found here:

I used an old favorite stamp set from Flourishes (no longer in business) for this lovely bunch of peaches. I stamped the image with versafine clair black and colored it with alcohol markers. I cut the image with an oval die, and then die cut the apricot cardstock frame. I mounted it on design paper from Paper Studio and used a light green for the card base.

I used a dotted background and then stenciled some stripes on with brown distressed  oxide ink. I used A Colorful Life stencil. The flowers are from a stamp from Gina K designs as is the sentiment and they are stamped with versafine clair black ink. The flowers are colored with alcohol markers. I used Sizzix oval dies as we I used white cardstock as my card base.
