Thanks….Southwestern Style

Hello hello!  Just popping in with another pretty colour combo from The Color Throwdown!

This week's colours are pink, green, kraft and gray- a little different but I always think to myself -  if there is green involved - then I can stamp flowers!

I began by stamping an arrangement of borders from the Southwestern Style stamp set from Papertrey Ink onto Vintage Cream card stock in Classic Kraft ink on an angle for a bit of interest.

 I die cut a Kraft card stock panel using the Stitched Rectangle Dies - (I was inspired by Amy Scheffer's use of these dies!)- and layered my stamped panel on top -so perfect!

I adhered those two panels to another Vintage Cream die cut panel and then popped up the whole thing onto a Vintage Cream card base.

Using the newest Make It Market Kit - Nostalgic Notions - I die cut and stamped the flowers and leaves and then popped them up onto my border stamped layer.  The inks I used were Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst and Lavender Moon for the flowers and Simply Chartreuse for the leaves.

I finished my creation by stamped the sentiment in Smokey Shadow ink and adding a little puffy heart :)

Why don't you join in? You have until 6:00 pm on Monday!

Love is Everything

Woohoo - another Simon Says Stamp Card Kit post - this time my card is created using products from the June 2014 card kit.  I love the little scribble flowers in the Favorite Flowers stamp set!

Simon Says Stamp also has a Wednesday challenge and this week it is all about stencils!

I used my Tim Holtz Distress Inks to water colour the Simon Says Stencil Large Dots and then smooshed it onto some watercolor paper for a rainbow background....

I stamped the flowers with various ink colours and then for the scribble stamp on top, I used Hero Arts Cup o' Joe...a rather lovely shade of brown - if brown can be lovely.

I cut out the flowers and popped them up onto the rainbow background.  The sentiment - which I adore! - is also from the same stamp set!

After rounding the corners I adhered the front of the card to the card base and rounded those corners as well.

I Love You Watts & Watts

I've had this card in my archives for a couple of months - just didn't get around to posting it.  All of the fun ingredients are from Simon Says Stamp Card  Kit.....way back in April!

You can also buy the stamp set itself - but I see it is sold out right now....it's a good one!

A little bit of glitter added to the heart makes it so sweet....

Off to watch the PGA Championship - I love my golf!
