Fabulous Floral Wishes

Hello everyone,

Today's post is a great floral 'birthday' card.

The card base is The Paper Studio.  The printed paper is Pink Fresh Studio “Indigo Hills 2” Glen layered on Stampin’ Up Lemon Lime Twist.  The sentiment is Rubbernecker Best Wishes stamped in Close To My Heart Outdoor Denim on Recollections White and layered on a navy Bazzill.  The embellishments are Crafts Rhinestone Stickers.

It's rare that I can resist a piece of navy printed paper.  This piece is particularly appealing because the images are wonderful and the different hits of colour are wonderful.  I love the Lemon Lime Twist elements.  It's not a green anyone should like but it really works with navy.  I love the sentiment element with the crisp colours and interesting layers.  This is a card that I could repeat often!

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Floral Hello

Hello everyone,

Today's post is a lovely floral hello card.

The card base is Recollections White.  The printed paper is Pink Fresh Studio Indigo Hills 2 "Glen" layered on Close To My Heart Outdoor Denim.  The images and sentiment are Stampin' Up To A Wild Rose stamped in Outdoor Denim on Stampin' Up Powder Pink and Recollections White.  The images are cut with the coordinating die.  The foliage was die cut from Stampin' Up Lemon Lime Twist.  The sentiment is layered on more Outdoor Denim.  The rose is highlighted with Diamond Stickles.

This photo really doesn't do the card justice!  I love the printed paper.  The images, simple drawings, with hints of watercolour is so appealing!  I mimicked the paper with the die cut rose and bright foliage.  The diagonal strip of navy was leftover from the background layer and works great to anchor the flower and the sentiment.  It's a great result!

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

A Friendly Hello

Hello everyone,

Today's post is a really great 'hello' card.

The card base is Stampin' Up Whisper White.  The printed paper is Pink Fresh Studio "Indigo Hills 2" Mesa layered on Stampin' Up Smoky Slate and Close To My Heart Eggplant.  The sentiment is Creative Expressions Celebration Sentiments stamped in Altenew Jet Black on Whisper White and layered on more Eggplant.  The sentiment was cut with the coordinating Creative Expressions Tags & Banners dies.  The ribbon is American Crafts.

I just love this card!  The printed paper is so simple with a such a variety of colours, coordinating is pretty easy.  I love a purple/grey colour combination.  I've had this vertical sentiment set for quite a while but have not played with it as much as I would have liked.  I only recent acquired the coordinating die cut set which really makes using the stamp set so much easier.  I love having something anchor the banner and was thrilled to find this perfect purple ribbon.  I used a flat bow because the card is going to be mailed.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
