Bright Blooming Wildflowers

 

Our Blooming Wildflowers stamp is stunning with Catherine Pooler Inks applied direct to stamp. Sentiment from the Inside Out: Size Matters set.

In the Meadow

Hello friends!

I'm here today to share two pretty cards that I made, using some great new stamps, In the Meadow, Inside Out: Size Matters, and Born to Garden, from the April Release. 

Here's my first card:

For this card, I used the Cloud Edger Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, to get a soft, whispy skyline on a panel of white cardstock. Then I finished the panel by stamping In the Meadow with a pretty green ink.

I couldn't resist using the 2nd half of the sentiment for the card inside. You all know a

friend or family member who simply canNOT pass up a yard sale or auction! This

stamp would be perfect for them!

And here's card number two:

I cut a panel of green checked paper for the focal panel and used the pattern on the back side to create the small strip of flowers at the bottom of the panel. A strip of narrow purple Washi Tape held the two panels together on the front. These were adhered to the card base, prior to stamping Born to Garden on the top section with Catherine Pooler's Over Coffee ink pad.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Things in the Garden

Pam here...sharing two fabulous stamps from the month of April. The first card showcases Born to Garden and my second card, In the Meadow. 

My first creation I used Distressed oxides with a floral stencil and then hi-lighted a bit of the greenery with  matching markers.

This card I stamped the In the Meadow in black and then used liquid pearls to accent the flowers. Added a floral embossed green layer and will add a sentiment when I know what I want it for!

Sarcasm? Profanity?

 This stamp is so me...Did you know that women who use profanity are more intelligent (I will keep repeating that to make myself feel better...) I used the woman from the Decaf Coffee stamp and the ACLD Grunge Dots stencil with the Three Languages stamp to make my card.

I'm Here for You!

 

I cut the verse and the dog apart  from Ruff Life.   That way  I could stamp each part as I might wish to do.  And I did.  I stamped the dog three times and die cut three circles and then three scalloped frames.  I used Copic markers and colored only one dog.  Then the verse was stamped and framed it with black cardstock.  I scored and folded  wood grained card stock in half.   Small flat self sticky brad tops were used as the embellishments.

Distressed Boho She Believed

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  Here's a colorful card to gaze upon while you drink your coffee (or tea or water).  I stamped the wonderfully versatile Boho Dots Background from Technique Junkies onto some white cardstock.  Then I pulled out some Colorful Blending Brushes and some yellow, blue, and pink ink pads and applied color to the stamped background.  Look closely and you'll see where some of the ink color lifted - that's where I flung some water over the card with my fingers.  This Boho Dots Background is perfect for distressed techniques like this.

The sentiment, She Believed She Could, was stamped with black ink and matted with some black cardstock.  I really didn't want to cover up the colorful background so I kept this card very simple.
