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!

The 'Thankful Garden' set with its coordinating stamp set, decorative mask stencils and die-cuts makes this card such a breeze. I love how they all work together to make such a pretty card.

I paired the set with the Layered Florals embossing folder and added a Wink of Stella to make the petals shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Garden Greetings

 

Such a cute card from Lynn Dunn... I just knew I needed to create a similar card for my Sister-in-law. I wanted somewhat authentic hydrangea colors for my stamped image, so I blended 3 colors to create what you see here. Boho Blue, Fresh Freesia and Misty Moonlight.

I love the coordinated set of stamps, decorative masks (stencils) and die-cuts of the 'Thankful Garden' set -- it truly helps creating lovely cards. 

For the decorative masks... these are the colors I used:

Mask 1 - Boho Blue

Mask 2 - Fresh Freesia

Mask 3 - Misty Moonlight

Mask 4 - Old Olive

Mask 5 - Garden Green
