Petal Sampler

I saw this cute sketch I found on Pinterest that I wanted to try out.  I really struggled with this card, but I love how it turned out.

I had trouble with the flowers.  I first stamped them on white cardstock, but it didn't look right.  Then I stamped the same color ink as the cardstock... still not what I wanted.  Finally, I used darker inks on the colored cardstock... they really stand out now.

I also chose to ink the sentiment in Crumb Cake instead of Tip Top Taupe.  When using the ink... it seems too dark compared to the cardstock.

I'm glad my perseverance paid off... this is such a cute card. I'm sure my friend will love it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Petals of Hope

I really like how this one came together.  I wanted to create poinsettias out of the Petite Petals stamp set.... I was originally thinking only three.  I decided to pair it with the Bloom with Hope stamp set.

After stamping the leaves with Mellow Moss.... I felt that they needed to be colored in....since the 'poinsettias' were a solid color and not just the outline.  I colored them in using the lightest color in the Old Olive Blendabilities set.

I felt the Stylish Stripes complimented the panel of flowers and leaves quite beautifully.  I finished the card by rounding the edges.

Thanks for taking a peek!

To create the dotted background piece, I used the 'Perfect Pennants' stamp with my stamp-a-ma-jig to align the stamp and make it as wide as you see here.  I used the Two-Step Owl Punch to punch out the 'a' in the sentiment in Hello Honey and attached it with a glue dot.

I sort of CASEd this card....well, at least the layout.  Here was my inspiration (that I got from Pinterest):
