Garden Stems


Wow! I'm liking how this turned out!  I used a color combo from the 'color coach' -- Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette and Crisp Cantaloupe (Although, I added Pistachio Pudding and Crumb Cake along with Very Vanilla too!). 

I stamped the hardwood image on the Crumb Cake Cardstock prior to die-cutting the Apothecary Framelit out.  With the stamp-a-ma-jig, I centered the sentiment on the Very Vanilla cardstock. I then matted the hardwood background on a piece of Soft Suede.

Using scissors after I stamped the flowers on a piece of Very Vanilla, I carefully cut them out.  You can see where I made one of the flowers smaller by cutting off the outer petals. <---Pretty cool to have another flower to 'choose' from.

I adhered the flowers and leaves with either glue dots and/or dimensionals to create the look that you see here!

Thanks for stopping by!

Simple Whimsy


Anyone know what a 'fuzzle' is?  Well, in grade school.... my friends, my sister and I used to draw cute little fuzzles on notes that we passed around in school. Well, as soon as I saw this stamp set 'Simple Stems'.... I saw a cute little fuzzle in one of it's 'flower' stamps! Who knew!  Anyway, I created this card specifically for my best friend in hopes to put a smile on her face 'remembering when'!

Thanks for taking a peek!
