#TGIFC474: So Lucky to Know You

This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges is an inspiration challenge.

 

I've used the Country Flowers Bundle to create my card.

 

I'll be honest, this card took awhile to make! I stamped the flower image around the border of my cardstock, and then colored. I used my Light Pool Party Stampin' Blends Marker to create an outline around all of the flowers. This creates a kind of shadow and really makes the flowers pop!

 

Here is a full list of products used on the card:

Stamps: Country Flowers

Ink: Memento Black

Stampin' Blends Markers: Berry Burst, Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Pool Party

Embellishments: Iridescent Foil Gems

Tools: Unbounded Love Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals

 

Happy Stamping!

#TGIFC472: You're a True Blessing

Happy May! It's been too long since I've last posted here. Life has been busy with many things keeping me away from paper-crafting, and I was also struggling with a little bit of a creative block. Thank goodness for brand new products that got the creative juices flowing again!

This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges is a sketch challenge.

 

I've used the Flowers of Beauty Bundle, Unbounded Love stamp set, and Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.

 

I created a window frame of sorts by using two different sizes of the square dies in the Stylish Shapes die set. 

 

Isn't this a pretty color combination? You can save this graphic if you want to remember it.

 

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

Stamps: Flowers of Beauty, Unbounded Love

Ink: Berry Burst, Pretty in Pink

Paper: Crumb Cake, Basic White, Berry Burst, Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock, Country Woods DSP

Embellishments: Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Tools: Stylish Shapes Dies, Flowers of Beauty Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
