Celebrating the Earth

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card in celebration of Earth Day tomorrow. Of course I had to go with something involving flowers and animals. I settled on this gorgeous flower from Remarkable You and the little bee from Dragonfly Dreams. It's hard to see in the picture, but I colored the inside of the flower with gold Wink of Stella. Gives the card the bit of bling it needed.

Affectionately Yours Flowers

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card featuring one of your favorite products. Lately, I've rediscovered my love of the Affectionately Yours DSP. So pretty! And I love the color combinations. This is a super simple card with some fun accents. I love the inclusion of the coordinating washi tape and rhinestones.

White Lilies

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a thank you card. Now this card doesn't say "Thank you," but I think this could be used as a thank you card. I had fun pattern mixing and playing with shapes. I don't often use my white craft ink, but when I do, I'm always loving the result. Simple card, but oh so pretty.

SSINKIC36: Watermelon Flower

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

Immediately, I knew that I wanted to make a simple card featuring a big flower (much to my surprise!). I thought I would be drawn to the butterfly, but instead I was drawn to the red flower. I've been drawn to simply designed cards lately. This big flower from the Remarkable You set is perfect to feature. I added a simple sentiment and matting. But there was something missing... Rhinestones helped, but the card was still missing something. So I took a black marker and made a simple frame. Easy peasy, but it adds so much visual interest to the card!

Purple Gatefold

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using a fancy fold. I love making gatefold cards! The don't seem like much, but once done, they are a nice surprise. Start with a 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of cardstock. Score the 8 1/2" side at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8". Add some DSP and a fun closure element and the card's all ready! For this card, I fussy cut the pretty flower after coloring it in using Sweet Sugarplum.
