Hello Spring with Inspirational Sketches

My spring card was inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration challenge. What image inspires you? The flowers inspired me to stamp with the Inspirational Sketches stamp set. I used the Darling Details Dies to create the frame for the flowers and used paper from the Sale-a-bration Flight and Airy DSP paper.

The flowers were stamped with Memento Black then water-colored with Bubble Bath ink, Soft Seafoam and Garden Green. I then fussy cut the flower twice and adhered them with dimensionals to create depth. I also embellished with Wink of Stella and basic rhinestones colored with Bubble Bath and Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends.

I framed the image with the die from Darling Details set. and adhered with dimensionals.

A Cottage Rose Birthday

My card this week is inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration challenge. Such beautiful colors and images. I have to say this Cottage Rose stamp sets is one I have not used. I used the colors off Polished Pink and Granny Apple Green to create my card.

I used Polished Pink Stampin’ Bends to color the flowers and Granny Apple Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves. I used Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends for the flower centers. The background I water colored with Polished Pink then splattered with polished pink using a water color brush. The strips of designer series paper are from the Awash in Beauty. I used 3 of the retired Polished Pink Gems.

Be inspired by the wonderful image at Hand Stamped Sentiments an see what the design team has created.

Thinking of you Seaside Bay Card

Inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge of Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue and Old Olive I created this card with the Seaside Bay Suite. The card base is Balm Blue and the patterned layer is from the By the Bay 6″ x 6″ Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack.

Love the clam shell die which I embossed with gold embossing powder. The Balmy Blue an White ribbon behind the clam shell is also from the suite. I also used gold cording to embellish. The sentiment, grass and shell are also from the suite. Inside the clam shell I added a flat adhesive backed pearl for a surprise.
