Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Chris Smith aka inkpad.....congrats, Chris!!  Wow, what an awesome gallery!!  I had a piece of Bo Bunny designer paper picked out for my niece's birthday (who loves Japanese designs) but needed help coming up with a card design.  This gorgeous card gave me the jump start I needed!  I changed the strip from right to left and used a die cut instead of strip of cardstock, but used the matted oval design for my sentiment.  I decided to cut some flowers to match the cherry blossoms in the paper. Here are the items from Our Daily Bread designs used in the making of my card: 'Beauty' stamp set, ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles and Pierced Ovals Dies, ODBD Custom Ornate Ovals Dies, ODBD Custom Bitty Blossoms Dies, and the ODBD Custom Flower Lattice Die.

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Flower Soft Asian Style

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoast is Rose aka rokale....congrats, Rose!  I chose this beautiful card for inspiration!  It reminded me of the many Flower Soft 3d Scenic Windows kits that I've had in my stash for a long time.  My mom loves Asian designs, so I will save this for her birthday.  Though the photo does not show the 3d layers very well, there are three layers of the scene which have to be cut out and popped up with foam tape, then multiple colors of Flower Soft sprinkles were added to the scene.  As in Rose's card, I used red and gold with a gold cord accent.  The gold mat was cut out with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies; the sentiment panel was cut out with the ODBD Custom Stitched Ovals Dies and stamped with a sentiment from Doily Blessings.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, everyone!  Happy Saturday to you!  Today's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers is to find an item from the Monsoon store for your inspiration.  I chose this beautiful cherry blossom print blouse to help me create this birthday card for my neice who is into Asian designs right now.  The branches and flowers are from the Spellbinders Cherry Blossom die set, the frame is called "Japanese Lace  & Flourish Frame", and the sentiment is from "Sentiments Collection 1" by Our Daily Bread designs.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a fabulous weekend!

Blessings,
