SSC196 Watercolor Pressed Flowers
Hello and welcome to our next Sunday Stamps sketch challenge. I grabbed the host set Pressed Flowers and attempted to color them so they look like real pressed flowers. Or maybe just a watercolor mess.
I was markering (is that a verb?) and spritzing the stamps, with multiple tries with the Stamparatus, but getting just the right amount of water is tricky.
Here is this week's sketch by Annette.
Stamps: Pressed Flowers, Flowering Desert; Paper: Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla, Watercolor Paper; Ink: Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Balmy Blue, Gorgeous Grape, Sahara Sand, Basic Black; Accessories: Old Olive Linen Thread, Circle Punches, Watercolor Brush, Water Spritzer.

Butterfly Fusion
Hello & Good Morning, Everyone! Hope you are having a great start to your day. I was asked by my fabulous stampy friend Linda Callahan to be a guest stamper on the latest Fusion card challenge. This week's challenge is a sketch or butterflies or both!
I haven't bought much of the latest butterfly stamps (many to choose from in the Occasions catalog), but I could not resist the Sale-a-Bration Botanical Butterfly paper. I love the black & white patterns, and so that's my focus today.
I cut a couple butterflies from the paper and colored them with Stampin' Blends for a vibrant bold pop. I doubled up on Dimensionals to make room for the cord.

The Stamp Review Crew: Fabulous Flamingo
Welcome to another Stamp Crew Review Blog Hop! We share our take on a selected stamp set every first and third Monday. This week's hop focuses on another annual catalog set, Fabulous Flamingo. If you are following the hop in order, you have just arrived from the very creative Dawn Tidd's blog.
After the holidays, how about a tropical stamp set to warm you up? I've put this fun set to good use several times. In November, Stampin' Up! birds of a feather flocked together in Orlando for OnStage. I put together a Florida-themed anniversary card for my downline, with a nod to our fabulous time together.
Stamps: Fabulous Flamingo, Tropical Chic, Waterfront; Paper: Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce, Pool Party, Whisper White, Tropical Escape DSP; Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Lovely Lipstick, Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce, Pool Party, Basic Black; Accessories: Tropical Elements, Linen Thread, 1/2" Granny Apple Green Ribbon, Tropical Thinlits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Big Shot, Dimensionals.
Now, I wanted to change it up a little bit, and I also need a card for my brother-in-law and his wife to celebrate their new little birdie.
This card uses CAS(E) this Sketch #303.
Stamps: Fabulous Flamingo, Precious Delivery; Paper: Flirty Flamingo, Basic Black, Whisper White, Pick a Pattern DSP; Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Crushed Curry, Basic Black, Versamark; Accessories: Blushing Bride Baker's Twine, White Embossing Powder, Aquapainter, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Big Shot, Dimensionals.
Here are a couple previous cards I've made with this set.

FMS369 You're a Classic!
The Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalogs are starting today! Time to Sale-a-Brate!!
Kicking off the party with a card using items from both catalogs, I was also playing along with old Splitcoaststampers New Year's Eve challenges. This one is HCE10, alter your embellishment.
I combined Geared Up Garage from the Occasions catalog with the free Sale-a-Bration paper, Botanical Butterfly DSP. For the altered embellishment, I took the free Daffodil Delight Sale-a-Bration ribbon and colored it black with a sharpie. The ribbon and gingham paper give a feminine touch, which is good since girls like muscle cars too!
This card uses Freshly Made Sketches #369.
Stamps: Geared Up Garage; Paper: Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Whisper White, SAB Botanical Butterfly DSP, Silver Foil Sheets; Ink: Real Red, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Sharpie Marker; Accessories: SAB Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack, Aquapainter, Garage Gears Thinlits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Big Shot.
