Timeless Bloom

 

I saw similar card layouts with this crooked background, so thought I'd try my hand at it. I used the 'True Love' DSP.

The stamped flower 'Blended Bloom' is colored in with Stampin' Blends - Cinnamon Cider, So Saffron and Pale Papaya. The stamped leaf, from the 'Timeless Tropical' stamp set, is colored in using Stampin' Blends - Granny Apple Green. The petals of the flowers have 'Wink of Stella' over them to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Blended Blossom

 

Ever since I saw Paula Dobson's card... I wanted to try creating a similar card. Now, I wasn't happy with the alcohol markers prior to Stampin' Blends. The Stampin' Blends markers make blending and coloring a snap!

I chose the color combo of Poppy Parade/Basic Gray/White for my card. It looks like Paula used Calypso Coral for hers.

I decided that I wanted to have an embossed background, so I used the 'Layered Leaves' DTIEF.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Wooden Bloom

In creating the card up top, I started out by trying to incorporate this sketch in my card.  However, when I added the '9' white butterflies (that I wanted because of the sketch)...... you could hardly see that there was a flower underneath all those butterflies.  It looked way to busy and I wasn't liking it at all.  So, I created my own card...... with just one butterfly.  Not sure if my card will be a Birthday or a Thank you card, so I left it blank inside.

Maybe I'll try the sketch again later this week..... we shall see! =)
