Go To Happiness

 

I loved the simplicity in Dena Rekow's card, so I had to try and create one of my own using the supplies that I had. Just beautiful! Thanks Dena for your inspiration!

I used the colors - Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Botanical Quotes

 

I totally fell in love with Chiaki Haverstick's lovely wedding card. I found it on Pinterest. I knew I had to create my own for my God-Daughter who is got married today! The white with gold foil is so stunning together.... perfect for a wedding card!

I used the sentiment from Occasional Quotes (a retired set). Although die-cutting each flower was a bit time-consuming.... once die-cut... it was easy to just glue-dot them on the panel.

Congratulations to Brooke and Steven!

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Bloom Together

 

When I saw Krista Prattin's Artisan Card I just knew I had to create one of my own. I am wondering how she created her background with the stamp though.... mine looks too wide. I chose to use different colors for my card to make it my own.  Thanks Krista for your inspiration!

I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to try and get the background stamping even. The stamp is stamped twice wide and 5x down to create the background piece.

Thanks for taking a look!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Sets - Botanical Blooms, Better Together

Ink - Mint Macaron, Blushing Bride

Paper - Whisper White (thick), Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron

Accessories - Botanical Builder Framelits, Big Shot, Basic Pearls, Stamp-a-ma-jig

Botanical Scribbles

I saw Sharon Burkert's card on Pinterest, and fell in love with the colors. Now as I did not have the specific background paper that she had... I used DSP from the 'It's My Party' for my card. The sentiment is a stamp from the Birthday Banners set. I just used portions of the stamp to place the 'birthday' underneath the 'happy' (as the stamp is all on one line).

Here is Sharon's card:

Thanks so much for your inspiration!

Many Layers and NO stamp sets or Ink!  Well, the inside has the inked sentiment. LOL!

I just about fell in love with Narelle Farrugia's card that I saw on Pinterest and wanted to try recreating it using the supplies I had... I didn't use her colors, but I so loved the layout I had to make two! Thanks Narelle!

Here is her card:

As you can see I didn't add the sentiment to the front of my cards.... the sentiment is in the inside of the card (a Thank You and a Birthday sentiment).

Blooms for You

 




Tracy's card is such a beauty.... I just needed to create one of my own. Thanks Tracy for your inspiration!  As you can see on my card on the left... I did make a few changes to make it my own.

I gold embossed the 'Just For You' sentiment on Basic Black Cardstock. I then matted each rectangle in gold foil before adhering it to the Mint Macaron card base.

Thanks so much for looking!

Wonderful Botanicals

I made this card for my wonderful Grandma. She is 93, and just found out that she has a small fracture in her neck (brittle bones). She is such a trooper though... as she must be in such terrible pain, yet doesn't dwell on it.  She will be in a neck brace for 4 weeks, so that it can properly heal. I pray that the healing is quick and that the pain that she does have goes away. Love you Gram!

I used the words from the 'Rose Wonder' stamp set and the Botanical Builders Framelits to create the flowers and leaf border.

Birthday Botanicals

I finally got my Big Shot Die Brush.... and it was so glad I did. The leaf petals and the letters for the word 'Happy' on the dies were so easy to extract when using the brush. Whew!

I don't usually buy the DSP, but decided to give it a try... I'm glad I did!
