So while I'm trying to whip up a little "line em up" tutorial I got requests for , I just had to share you with some FANtastic cards made with "A Year of Flowers" from one of our StampTV fans Kyra! Busy as I am this summer, I still find a moment or two when I can to prowl around the STV gallery and am always on the lookout for exciting work with my stamps (She didn't know I would be showing these) but they are just the bomb, some of the most beautiful masking I've seen to create these lovely bushels of leaves (using two different leaf images from the set and the dark shading around them really adds so much depth!
The barely there sponging she added for the sky is amazing too and I love those little pops of red ladybugs! Gorgeous work Ky, thanks for the inspiration, and please email me for a free stamp set today for doing such cool things with this set and spicing up my blog today!! :) Everyone else, be sure to visit her wonderful gallery on StampTV and then read below for a chance at some blog candy for you!
Seriously I cannot pick a favorite, all these color combos are heavenly! Tell me which of these flower samples you like best, purple, orange, or blue, in the comment section for a chance to win of my stamp sets! I will draw a winner tomorrow and announce it on my blog, then email that person with a choice of sets to choose from! Please be sure your comment has an email addy or goes to a profile with an email address to contact you, thanks!

I love the purple one, but they are all gorgeous. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThey are all fabulous and that masking is stunning! The orange hues spoke to me, however. Could it be I am looking forward to Fall, since this summer has been so brutally hot???? Thanks for the chance to win! Love your stamps!
ReplyDeleteI love them all, and purple is my favorite color, but I love the orange one, because it reminds me of Fall and that is my favorite time of year, so I choose the orange one. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's a tough choice, but I have to go with the purple...Since purple is my favorite color to work with... All three samples are beauties. Thanks for a chance to win!

I love the orange! It is so bright and beautiful. Thanks for a chance to win. :D
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I love them all. If I have to choose a fave, I would have to pick the blue one. Blue is my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these! I simply can't choose one -- ordinarily I'd choose the purple but the orange and blue stand out as well! purple if I must choose one, but...please don't make me :-)

ReplyDeleteOh wow - Melanie, I am so touched by your showcasing my cards! Honey, I'm overwhelmed and grateful. God bless you! ♥ky
ReplyDeleteI'm a purple person, but I LOVE the orange flowers. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely the blue for me....although all your work is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but especially the blue one....
ReplyDeleteVery pretty....
While I agree with you that all three are simply gorgeous, I'm kinda digging on the blue. Thanks for the chance to win, Melanie!
ReplyDeleteI choose purple just because. What awesome cards! A fabulous technique that I'm going to have to try. Thanks for sharing the gorgeous style.
ReplyDeleteI simply love all of them but I think my favorite is the blue..very soothing to the eye.
ReplyDeleteOh My Word! Those are just Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI think I like the orange one because it reminds me more of summer and I love the bright colors!
But seriously,who could really say which one is their favorite!
Thanks for the chance!
Hugs and Blessings,
Mary
No contest....the purple! Of course, they are each lovely in their own way, but the purple grabbed me right away!!! Great cards! Thanks for the chance to win one of your wonderful sets!

Oh my goodness, is this lady talented or what!!! What gorgeous creations! I agree, can't pick a favorite, but I'll go with the purple, only because that's my favorite color. Thank you so much for sharing with us!!! Hugs, sharon :o)...my email is: smarch@wildblue.net
ReplyDeleteWow, those are amazing! Ky did some fabulous work there! I am quite partial to the orange flower myself ;)
ReplyDeleteOoh, orange, orange, lol! But they are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like the orange one best - am wishing for fall and cooloer weather I guess :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, gorgeous! If I have to pick one I guess I would go with the blue. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThey are all gorgeous, but the purple one really catches my eye
ReplyDeleteAll three of these cards are stunning! I would pick the first one has my favorite because purple is my favorite color and the butterfly on that card is a real 'stand out!' Thanks for showcasing these beautiful cards and for the blog candy chance.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know how to pick one, but I do love the blue one. They are all stunning! Barb W
ReplyDeleteThese are really fantastic. It is hard to choose one over the other.
ReplyDeleteI love the orange flowers. They are so versatile.
ReplyDeleteI really like all three of them, but I think my favorite is the blue. I've never thought to do them in blue before.
ReplyDeleteOh they are ALL gorgeous! What wonderful blending and colors!! WOW!!! Impressive!!!! I think I like the orange the best...it pops out...and love all of them with the little ladybugs popping out too!!!
ReplyDeleteit has to be the purple one - the colouring on the flowers is stunning and as you pointed bout the blending in the sky is well all I can say is I wish I could blend aswell
ReplyDeletethank you for showing them and thank you for the chance to win a set of stamps
Would have to say purple is my favorite....marvelous creations! Thanks for all the inspiration you share!
ReplyDeleteall your cards are just fabulous, but I would say that the orange cached my eye more than the others!
ReplyDeleteAll 3 are stunning, but purple is my favorite color. :) Thanks for a chance..
ReplyDeleteLove them all but I have to say the blue one!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you are asking us to make a choice!! I know that if you can't decide which one you like the best, I certainly can't pick one. I look at one and think, "Oh, yeah, that's it" and then see the other one and change my mind! This is like being a kid in a candy store! I guess my favorite one would have to be the one with the flowers on it!! I love them all!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! It really is hard to pick just one, I think my favorite one is the first card but the blue is a close second. Thanks for sharing and for the opportunity to win s set of stamps.
ReplyDeleteIt is really hard to choose between the purple and the orange for me! Lovely shading around the flowers...you picked well Melanie, Ky is a great card maker!
ReplyDeleteWow that is a hard one! I guess I'll just go with the blue one as that is my favorite color. All are great!
ReplyDeleteOh I forgot to leave a contact so just delete my previous entry.
ReplyDeleteI will go with blue as that is my favorite color and they are all so wonderful!

They're all gorgeous, but have to go with the blue because it's my favorite color--purple runs a close second.
ReplyDeleteThey're all gorgeous, but have to go with the blue because it's my favorite color. Purple's a close second!
ReplyDeleteI saw these when Ky first landed them in the STV gallery and they took my breath away. I really missed her work for the time she was absent. So glad you showcased these, Mel!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all 3 of these cards! They're all so beautiful. But purple is my favorite color so I'll have to go with the purple one. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOoooo, I am a big fan of orange!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard as all three are wonderful, but blue is my favorite color and I love the sky on that card, so that one edges ahead of the other two. Thanks for sharing this artist's work.
ReplyDeleteI love all three, but since blue is my favorite color that tips it over for me-plus I love that sky on the blue card. Thanks for sharing this artist's wonderful creations.
ReplyDeleteWow- wow- wow! They ae beautiful! I vote for the purple one... I love purple and the butterfly stands out a little more against the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI adore the Orange card. Kyra did a super job with all three but the orange one really catches my eye.
ReplyDeleteKeep the stunning work, Kyra.
