I have my second post in
Winnie and Walter's spotlight and I think it's a fun one!
I hope you will pop over to their blog to have a look at my take on making a bunch of embellishments using their stamps. You can find the post
here and here's a peek at what we are making
Now here are some links to things that may help you duplicate some of these things if you don't have the dies and such to make some of the embellishments
Here is a
Library Pocket Mirkwood Designs has a lot of other great templates as well so you may want to take a peek at their other
templates offered.
If you don't have a die for a small paper rose then here is how it is done without a die
Paper Roses
a smaller circle with a smaller spiral makes a smaller flower, experiment...I personally like a thin paper for these so you could practice on copy paper or book paper.
Now for the little envelopes I simply used scraps of double sided paper that were 2."X3"
and then on then I scored at 3/4" all the way around for the flaps and I cut the corners out at a slight angle but you could cut the top and bottom flaps in a triangular shape if you prefer. here's how to make a
pinwheel if you've never done one!
for the circles on the paper clips etc. you could hand draw your circles on the back of your paper freehand or you could trace small circles and cut out, they don't have to be perfect...rough up the edges and ink up the circles and no one will know the difference!
Really just have a look at your dies and supplies, dig into that stash and start playing you'll be amazed with what you can come up with. The number one and pretty much only rule...HAVE FUN! :D
And this card is using the dove blender and distress markers.
and this last card is me colouring with only pencil crayons. I use only one pencil for each color.The jelly beans are the only thing done differently..they are the Dove Blender and distress markers.. 
Next up is a card using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Flower Garden and it's coloured in with Ranger Tim Holtz Distress inks, and Tim's Stampers Anonymous Simple Sayings stamp set.
My last card isPersian Motif stamps fromAltenew, Sentiment is from simple sayings and it's coloured with Tim/rangers Distress Inks
And then....for my final project I have a Layout to share which features Say Cheese papers from Simple Stories and stamping using Winnie and Walter stamps.
Whew! Feels good to catch up! okay...I have to fly I have coloring to do! Thanks for popping in for a peek!
I will be entering the floral cards into the Spring Blooms Challenge at Inspiration Emporium
