12 Kits of Occasion ~ May Flowers

Good morning stamping friends ~ It's the end of the month so that means it's time for a group post for the 12 Kits of Occasion gals to post our projects using kits put together by one of our amazingly talented team mates.  This month's kit was hosted by my very dear friend and incredibly creative Marcia Hill of Marcia's Stampin' Pad.  


The theme of her kit is called April Showers Bring May Flowers.  If there's one thing Marcia knows how to do, it flowers!!  She's not afraid to try new techniques and she rocks every new technique every time!  I adored this delightful kit and the cards whipped together in a snap!

Now on to my cards:
  I think this card is my favorite.  I adore this little Bundle Girl from Stampingbella holding her snowdrops.  She was super easy to color and she is just as cute as a button!!

Marcia had these tulips from PTI all stamped and ready to go.  All I had to do was add a strip of patterned paper and a bit of black glitter tape.  The sentiment banner is also from PTI.

I was a little hesitant to color this Penny Black image called "First Blush" because it was so pretty embossed in silver and I didn't want to ruin it.  In the end, I'm fairly pleased with how it came out.  

I thought this paper was so pretty, I didn't want to put anything over it to cover those pretty flowers.  This sentiment die from Spellbinders still allows the paper to be the star of the show.

 Marcia included so many wonderful images to color including this one from Simon Says Stamp, Mandy's Flowers.  I happened to have these eggs left over from Easter sitting on my desk and thought they went perfectly with the Farm Fresh theme.   

Another sweet Penny Black image.  This one is called Daffodil Devotion.  LOVE!!  

And last but not least, another favorite Stampingbella image, Tiny Townie Garden Girl "Lily Of The Valley".  Oh gosh, isn't she sweet?  I'll add a sentiment later, when I know what I want to use this card for.  For now, she's perfectly cute on this CAS card.

I hope you'll visit the 12 Kits of Occasion blog to see how the rest of my talented team mates used Marcia's fabulous kit.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Your 1st and last cards are probably my favorites too, but only because I'm just so in love with both of those stamps myself right now! And YELLOW Lily of the Valley?? Absolutely LOVE it!! And your Cherry Blossoms are another favorite...don't know why you were afraid to color it as it turned out just BEAUTIFUL!! The shading and blending...just perfect!! Lovely, lovely cards my friend and thank you so much for the kind words!! You are a GEM!! Hugs. :0)

Such fabulous cards, love them all but my favorite has got to be the First Blush, love the silver embossing with the pretty soft coloring of the flowers! The daffodils in the can are just too cute too!

Nora Noll said...

What STUNNING cards!! I LOVE the beautiful coloring and the fun papers of this kit. My favorite is that little Sweet Pea girl.

Lisa Elton said...

Oh I love your Townie and Bundle Girls! They are colored to perfection, and the big girl looks like she is wearing a fluffy tutu. The daffodils just POP with the black and white polka dotted DP in the background and that big red heart. Your tulip card with the tiny eggs is perfectly spring with the sunny dotted background. Such a beautiful set of cards, Birgit!

Vicky Hayes said...

What an inspiring array of cards Birgit! I adore the Stampingbella Bundle girl too and your frame and striped paper have shown her off perfectly. My next favourite is the First Blush card - how effective is your colouring with the silver embossing?! So delicate. ALL your cards are amazing :)

So many beauties I don't know where to start Birgit! I love the soft color on the silver emboss.. and the unexpected yellow on the lily of the valley! Your coloring (as always) is spectacular. The clean designs on coordinated prints is gorgeous! Always a treat to visit here with you!

Wow Birgit your cards are all so lovely! You made so many and your colouring is perfect. I can't pick a favourite because I love each and every one of them for a different reason whether it is the colours, the design or the placement. Well done!
