Garden Expressions

 

With Terri Gaines card as inspiration... I created my own! Thanks Terri!

I chose to color in the flowers using Stampin' Blends instead of using the decorative masks that the set comes with. These products give you plenty of ways to get creative and make the images your own.

I paired the 'Thankful Garden' stamp set with the 'Country Woods' DSP for the background piece. For the sentiment, I chose the stamp from the 'Expressions of Friendship' set.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

True Friendship

 

I loved Lin's layout from Hearts Hugs and Flowers blog, so I decided to create my own following her layout and colors. Thanks Lin!

The flowers are from the 'True Love' DSP... just colored with Stampin' Blends and cut out with scissors. I added a touch of 'Wink of Stella' to the flower petals to make them shine.

Even though I didn't follow 'Paper Daisy Crafting's' card exactly, I wanted to show you how I came up with/got inspired from her lovely card.

I used the sentiment from the new 2021-2022 Hostess set 'Expressions of Friendship'. The flowers and leaves are from the 'Beautiful Bouquet' stamp set and it's coordinating 'Bouquet Bunch' dies.

The background is my all time favorite - Layered Leaves Embossing Folder.

I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the petal flowers to make them shine.

Flowing Friendship

 

Our niece is turning into a little lady at 15 years old. Gosh all our nieces and nephews are growing up so fast! I thought of our niece when I saw this stamp set 'Expressions of Friendship' because she is so carefree and fun! I chose the Bumblebee color cuz she is a drop of sunshine in our lives! I added a touch of 'Wink of Stella' to her dress to make it sparkle... like in the sunshine.

Thanks for dropping by!
