Same for the leaves (Sweetest Stem) and the Daisies. Buttons are SU Designer Buttons from the Sherbet Collection. Ribbon is SU Polka-Dot Grosgrain in Bermuda Bay.

Riot of Petals
Well, I fell in love with this stamp. My Stampin' Up demonstrator, Sandi MacIver of Portland Oregon tracked it down for me (Thanks Mucho Sandi). She had sent me a card with this stamp on it a while back and I had a fit, I loved it so much. I received it in the mail on Friday and just couldn't wait to stamp it. So much so that I stamped and embossed it with Gold Glitter Embossing Powder 7 times so I would have many to choose from in the future. Brilliant by itself, but I decided to color in the dessign. Absolutely stunning isn't it. I topped it off with the Dream stamp from the new Dream Gardens set from SU and tied it all up with a ribbon. It's a fav of mine!
Shabby Chic
I have had this idea in my head for some time. Isn't it just beautiful. I knew that it was very wide and not for just any old card, that it would be a special card that could take this ribbon. When I saw that the challenge was to use button and bows....I knew exactly what ribbon I was going to use. I think this card turned out to be so special. Nothing like I have seen anywhere. So, here's the construction. Designers papers (Nouveau Chic) stamp (Friends 24-7, embossed with gold glitter embossing powder) and hardware are from Stampin'Up (of which I have just become a demonstrator YEA!). Card is 8.5 x 11 folded in half (I covered the front and inside with the SU designer paper). Then about a inch and a half taken out of the upper third. I sliced that portion out with a deckle edge cutter. I attached the hardware to the top and bottom sections of the card on the edges in a way that connects the two pieces of the card together. I used a very tacky glue and had to let it dry for about and hour. Then I threaded the ribbon through and tied it in a huge bow and added buttons as an accent. Friends is a rub-on. I think it looks very shabby chic.
Elegant Bouquet
The challenge for this card was to use the cornflower blue and brown. I used the Stampin' Up Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder to add some interest to my touch of brown for this card. I distressed the Elegant Bouquet design to bring out the embossing and attached rhinestones to the center of the flowers. I colored the Ivory Hodgepodge element from SU with a blue marker and set the color with a watercolor fixative and added rhinestones above and below. The flower stamp is from SU's Friends 24-7 stamp set. It was colored with SU Stampin' Writer markers. Patterned paper is from the Bashful Blue Designer Series.

Lovely Flowers
I used Stampin' Up Lovely Flowers Designer Series Paper as the basis for this card. I did an overlay on vellum using a Lovely Flower Rub-on and colored it with Stampin' Up markers. The sentiment was stamped with SU Perfect Plum. Rhinestones, ribbon and buttons were used to embellish.
