Field of Flowers

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Kathy aka laurasbuffy....congrats, Kathy!  I loved the blended background colors of this beautiful card from Kathy's awesome gallery.  For my card, I used a watercolor wash technique with a wide brush.  After the panel was dry, it was stamped with 'Botanical Beauty' background stamp from Taylored Expressions and a sentiment from 'Large Peony 4' by The Ton, then cut out with a Double Stitched Rectangles Die from Divinity Designs LLC.  Lavender baker's twine and rhinestones were added for finishing touches.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sunny Yellow

Hi, everyone!  This week's Friday Free4All Challenge over at Splitcoast is 'Sunny Yellow'.....it's been bitter cold here in Indiana and I'm happy to think about sunny days!  I found this background panel in my stash, stamped the Taylored Expression 'Botanical Beauty' background and the sentiment from 'Large Peony 4' from The Ton (since they were both still on my desk from this card), cut the panel out with the Divinity Designs LLC 'Double Stitched Rectangles' Dies, and layered onto a yellow card. Three rhinestones were added for a simple embellishment.  This will be a birthday card for a dear friend who will definitely appreciate the 'sunny yellow' right now!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from Calendars.com.  I absolutely loved the color combo of this pocket calendar, so I used purple and aqua ink to create a Wrinkle Free Distress panel. Once the panel was dry, the 'Botanical Beauty' background (from Taylored Expressions) and sentiment from 'Large Peony 4' (from The Ton) were stamped.  The panel was cut out with the Pierced Rectangles Dies from Divinity Designs LLC and layered with the Matting Rectangle. Though the camera did not capture them, there are a few tiny gemstones and some stickles here and there as well.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is embee46 (not sure what her name is).  I chose this awesome card to case today.  I loved the blended colors...the yellows and pinks and how they combined into orange tones, so I created a Wrinkle Free Distress background with So Saffron and Melon Mambo.  Once the panel was dry, I stamped this 'Botanical Beauty' background stamp (from Taylored Expressions) with Melon Mambo.  The sentiment is from 'Bitty Birthday Wishes' (from My Favorite Things).  The sentiment was cut out and framed with the Sentiment Strips 2 Dies from Divinity Designs LLC; the WFD panel was cut with the Pierced Rectangles Dies, layered with the Matting Rectangle Die, also from Divinity Designs.
