The above card was inspired by this photograph:
To create this card, I used Simply the Best and Birds of a Feather Stamp Sets, WOW Wanderlust Embossing Powder, and Melon Ice and Grass Skirt Inks.
This card was created with Medallion Mix Up and Wild Garden Stamp Sets, Spiro Doily Die and Mint to Be, Melon Ice and Midnight Inks.
How fun is that die? I used Simply the Best and Birds of a Feather Stamp Sets, the Best Die and Party Dress, Its A Girl, Mint to Be, Pixie Dust and Sweet Sixteen Inks.
I used the masking technique to create this card. I love the little array of flowers! I used Wild Garden and Simply the Best Stamp Sets, along with Grass Skirt, Bellini, Its A Boy, Midnight, Garden Party, Party Dress and Pixie Dust Inks.
The stamp-off (or second generation stamping) technique was used for this card. I used Wild Garden and Simply the Best Stamp Sets with Midnight, Aquatini, Party Dress and Grass Skirt Inks.
I even have a video, sharing how I made it!!!

ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful projects! I really like your CAS Style--lots of white space lets you appreciate the stamp designs and colours. I love what you've done with that wildflower set.

Thanks for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteI love how your inspiration photo inspired your card! That first one has just a touch of opulence.
ReplyDeleteThere is a very large and very tall oak tree that I can see from my family room, and from the master bath upstairs. When I was getting chemo in 2005, it looked like a hand reaching across the skies. I felt such a connection to the tree. 12 years later this tree is larger, fuller and still feels connected to my heart. It's my inspiration.
