Thank You with a Bloom - PPA211

I love these little spots stamp in the Hello Darling set (I actually bought this set solely for this stamp, lol). I used the color challenge at Pals Paper Arts for the inspiration for this card. I love how the yellow and white pop against the navy.
 
The center of the flower is colored with the darkest Daffodil Delight Blendabilities marker, and the petals with the lighter two.

Floral Stained Glass Window

Here's a card that I made for the Summer Edition Week 2 Challenge at Create With Connie and Mary. I also made it for a Facebook group challenge to use vellum and embossing.

I randomly stamped the flowers on vellum, heat embossed them in white, and then I flipped it over and colored the back of the flowers with Stampin' Write Markers. I attached it to a piece of Whisper White cardstock, and then cropped it to fit inside the frame I made. I left it blank so it can be used for any occasion.





Recipe (all Stampin' Up!)

Stamps: Petite Petals, Beautiful Bunch

Ink: Versamark

Paper: Coastal Cabana, Hello Honey, Baked a Brown Sugar, Whisper White card stock; Vellum card stock

Misc: White embossing powder, Heat gun, Decorative Dots embossing folder, Window Frames Collection Framelits, Hello Honey & Coastal Cabana Stampin' Write markers

You Make the World a Better Place - SSC79

As soon as I saw the colors for this week's challenge at Sunday Stamps, I thought of the World Map background stamp and how the green and blue would be perfect sponged on it. I used sponge daubers to fill it in, which I ended up going over the edges a bit, but I think it looks ok :) I paired it with the sentiment from Starburst Sayings, which I heat embossed with white embossing powder on some Basic Gray card stock.

Stamps: World Map, Starburst Sayings

Ink: Black Stazon, Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi, Versamark

Paper: Basic Grey, Whisper White cardstock

Misc: Sponge Daubers, White Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Starburst Framelits, Whisper White 5/8" Organza Ribbon
