An clean, colorful, easy to make card for any number of occasions. The stamps have matching dies & I’m really loving this woodplank cover die. Use it plain white or inked for totally different look.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC960), we are visiting Daily Paintworks & their Pinterest Boards where I found THIS picture to inspire me.

My card is pretty simple. I die cut the large wood plank panel then used brushes to add the green ink & a little of the blue-green, then used the blue green to rub directly over the top to darken all the raised areas. A smaller white panel was die cut a few times. First w/ the larger die, then a smaller one (to create the white frame) and finally an even smaller die to create the rectangle inset. I placed this in the center of the wood plank die & ran it thru the die cut machine. The branches were all colored & die cut & I used the individual wood plank set to cut the piece for the greeting before stamping on it.

Here are the Copics I used:

Come see how easy it is to make a pretty floral card for someone special. Great for birthdays, Mother’s Day or just to say I’m thinking of you. The flowers have matching stencils & dies so coloring & cutting them is a breeze.

A big congrats to Kathy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS898). She has a sweet little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the big floral theme & most of the colors, but I rearranged them a bit, moved the greeting, used different images, dies & stencils.

After stamping the lovely flowers, I used the 2 part stencils, the detail brushes & color fuse inks to color them in before die cutting. The white background was cut w/ a quilted stitch cover die & the greeting stamped on a rectangle of coral. I added a darker coral scalloped frame behind the white panel.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Best Bouquet

A floral bouquet card with lots of flowers all wrapped up in a pretty wrapper. All done in shades of purple and some pretty flower paper backing it up.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC959) we are visiting Whistlefish & their Pinterest Boards where I saw THIS lovely picture to use for my inspiration.

My card had a little bit of an unusual start..after looking at some of the pics on the site, I went to bed thinking “what am I going to make?” I was drawing a bit of a blank. When I woke up the next morning, I had a picture in my head & this is almost exactly what I pictured. Hardly ever happens like that, but it’s great when it does. The card is pretty self explanatory. I die cut all the flowers & put them together & arranged them inside the wrapper. For a little interest, I added some bits of sparkly tulle in the top of the wrapper & a few sequins below. The bottom of the white panel was cut w/ part of a gift card border. I accidentally had it turned upside down & it cut the entire bottom off. Oops..so I turned it around, added a little strip of the floral paper & called it done.
