SSINKCC44: Spring Flowers

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the following colors:

For today's card, I immediately knew that I wanted to make something features flowers. It's spring here in California, and surprisingly, the ground is still green! I wanted to make a card celebrating that. So I stamped and cut some flowers and leaves to create a little bouquet. I figured out a way to incorporate the Chocolate Chip color as a fun background. Perfect combination!

Botanical Garden

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Saint Patrick's Day card or a green card. I opted for a green card. This was such a fun card to create! And it's a very versatile card. Change the colors, the DSP, and/or the sentiment to create a very different looking card. For this one, I heat embossed my sentiment before creating a watercolor wash. I stamped on a bit of background pattern using tone-on-tone stamping. I layered small piece of DSP to give a bit of visual interest. And finally I die cut and layered some flowers. Seriously, I am in love with card!

Lovely Washi

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a quick and easy card. My favorite quick and easy cards pack a lot of color, but are still easy to make. I started with the beautiful Affectionately Yours Washi Tape as my base. A simple sentiment was added in Night of Navy. And I finished the card off with a die cut flower from the Botanical Builder set.

Just for You Bundle

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card with a $50 bundle and Sale-a-Bration item. I just love the Botanicals for You stamp set.  The big bold greeting is perfect to accessorize. For this card, I stamped the "Just for You" sentiment in Lost Lagoon. I then made a mask by ripping some paper. From there, I stamped over the mask using the various pieces from the Botanical Gardens stamp set. Easy peasy! For a finishing touch, I glued on a Botanical Gardens Jewel.
