All of the plants, vases, and hanging basket were stamped and die cut. I randomly chose colors, vases, and plants.

I then adhered the paper lattice onto the Barely Banana panel.

I played with the arrangement of the various plants, vases, and tag. Once I was happy, I adhered them in place with glue dots, adhesive, or a brad. The hanging basket was added using a brad. The tag is left-over from a Paper Pumpkin kit.

Next, I adhered the Barely Banana panel onto the Basic Black panel, and then onto the Mint Macaron card base.

Lastly, I added a few candy dots to the tag and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is another card with a Birthday sentiment.

Beachy Birthday

I guess some ink pads do not last forever. I decided to use a discontinued ink color, Dusty Durango, on my card. I thought I would be safe, since I was just blending the ink onto the card. Nope, a smudge was added anyway, even with the blending brush. I tried to cover it up with a bird, but he just looked wounded. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Sunkissed

   Waves of Inspiration

Paper:

   Cajun Craze A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Crumb Cake

   Daffodil Delight

   Dusty Durango

   Pacific Point

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:

   Crushed Curry

   Early Espresso

   Garden Green

   Pacific Point

   Soft Suede

Technique:

   Blending Brush/Sponging

Accessories:

   Blending Brush/Sponge

   Pebbles Enamel Shapes

   Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots

   Adhesive

First, I used my blending brush to create the background on my Basic White panel.

    Daffodil Delight - Top

    Dusty Durango - Middle

    Crumb Cake - Bottom

I then used markers to color on my stamps. I moistened the stamps with my breath before stamping the image onto my panel.

I first colored the sand dune with Crushed Curry and Soft Suede. 

Next, I applied the Early Espresso on the tree trunks and Garden Green on the palms.

I added the ocean using Pacific Point. 

The sentiment was also added using Pacific Point.

I then added birds with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I adhered the stamped panel onto a Basic Black panel and then onto the Cajun Craze card base.

Lastly, I added a couple of Pebble Enamel Shapes, Brushed Metallic Dots, and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Healing Prayers

Stamp directly onto your designer series paper when possible. Many of these sheets are works of art, so let them do their work. Just add a sentiment or a few stamped images and frame it on a card base. What do you think?

Stamps:

Paper:

   Bumblebee A-2

   Basic Black 1/4 x 5-1/4 (2)

   Tuxedo Black Memento

First, I stamped the tree line using Evening Evergreen.

I then stamped the grasses near the bottom of the DSP, using Evening Evergreen.

Next, I stamped the sentiment in the center of the panel with Tuxedo Black Memento.

I then added the birds using Tuxedo Black Memento.

I adhered a Basic Black strip on the left side of the card base. 

I then aligned the DSP against the strip, and adhered the other Basic Black strip on the right side of the DSP.

Lastly, I added the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Comforting Hugs

Surround your sentiment with beautiful flowers to create a sincere sympathy card. I chose this beautiful Orchid Opulence hue to bring some light into a sorrowful situation. I also really like to use a bit of green to liven up the card. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Delicate Dahlias

   Kindness & Compassion

Paper:

   Orchid Opulence A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Garden Green

   Orchid Opulence

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Pearl Basic Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my sentiment on the Basic White panel using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then randomly stamped flowers around the sentiment with Orchid Opulence. This is a distINKtive stamp, so it will automatically stamp light and dark in just the right spots to make you look like an artist. 

Next, I used Garden Green to stamp a few leaves.

I then adhered the Basic White panel onto a Basic Black panel, and then onto the Orchid Opulence card base.

Lastly, I added a pearl to the center of the flower and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
