Gallery Greetings

 

I loved the layout for Nilka World's card, so I chose that for my own card. Loved the monochrome of red/pinks too. Thanks Nilka World for your inspiration!

I used the 'Gallery Blooms' stamp set for my focal piece and colored the flowers with Real Red, Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink.  I used the Layering Squares dies.

The sentiment is from the 'Go To Greetings' stamp set and I used the 'Lovely Arrangements' dies to cut the sentiment out.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Lovely Tools

 

I liked Laura Mackie's card with its simplicity, so I knew I had to create one of my own. I used the Alphabet dies that I had.... which are called 'Large Letters' dies. I also used the die within the 'Lovely Arrangements' set for the sentiment piece.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Father's Day to all the Father's out there!

Sailing Right

 

I loved everything about Kathleen Wingerson's card, so needed to make one for myself. Thanks Kathleen!

I used the 'Country Woods' DSP for the background piece... and pieced it together.

Country Succulents

 

I paired the 'Country Flowers' stamp set with the 'Simply Succulents' stamp set this time around. They do work beautifully together. The 'Spotlight on Nature' dies are the perfect background piece along with the 'Country Woods' DSP. I added a Wink of Stella to the flowers to make them shine,

The sentiment piece is from the 'Happiness Abounds' stamp set and the die is from the 'Hearts and Hugs' dies.

Thanks for taking a look!

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.

Biggest Blooms

 

I wasn't sure which direction to go in with this card. I started with a totally different layout (landscape) and ended up here. Somedays I struggle to get the best card... and sometimes it just hits me and doesn't take long. Just enjoying the journey.

Thanks for taking the time to view this.
