Twinkle Spotlight

 


I loved the simplicity of this card by Heidi Collins. I changed mine up a bit to make it my own, but wanted to share where I got my inspiration from. Thanks Heidi!
Now, when I saw this card... I'm like - good, it has a die-cut to match the stamp image. Boy was I wrong. I'm impressed with your cutting skills Heidi! I'd rather have a die-cut than to fussy cut, but I believe I did an ok job! lol
Thanks for taking a closer look!

Floral Party

 



I really loved Jolanda Johnstone's layout with the 'Mixed Florals' stamp set and its coordinating dies. I chose to mix up the colors and papers, along with the sentiment, to make the card my own. Thanks Jolanda for your inspiration!
The DSP is from the 'Simply Elegant' Specialty Designer Series Paper pack. I added a Wink of Stella to the petals to make them shine.

Memorable Leaves

 


I just loved Julie Davison's card, I just had to make one for myself for my best friend.  She loves the color pink, so I changed my color scheme to match her colors. I also used the 'Layered Leaves' embossing folder for the background instead of what Julie used.
Thanks Julie for your inspiration!

I added a Wink of Stella to the petals to make them shine.

Unbounded Rose

 


Such a lovely card from Keisha Charles. I chose to create one of my own using the stamps that I had and the embossing folders too. I added a mat to the stamped image background too.

I used the sentiment and images from 'Cottage Rose' stamp set. The die cut piece for the sentiment is the 'Unbounded Love' dies set. I added a Wink of Stella to the petals to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!
