Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary Thursday sketch challenge.  This time it's a tri-panel sketch and our designers have come up with some awesome cards, so be sure to check out the post on Create with Connie and Mary.  I chose to incorporate the inspiration photo from Inspired By Challenge #107.  I was inspired by colors....they are so serene! I was also inspired by the simpleness of the photo, so I tried to keep my card pretty minimal....minimal for me anyway!

Lacy Poppy Parade Celebration ~ CCMC595, PP473, GDP223, WW254

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary's Thursday color challenge with colors taken right from the Peaceful Poppies Suite from the 2020 mini catalog.  

I chose to showcase Poppy Parade and let Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive take a back seat.  

I'm also sharing my card with The Paper Players Challenge #437 as they have almost the identical color scheme. I'm also sharing with a couple occasions challenges:  Global Design Project #223 and Watercooler Wednesday #254

For my card I stamped a floral image from Bloom and Grow in versamark ink on watercolor paper and embossed it with white EP.  I colored the image with my aquapainter and ink pads.  

I cut it out with the coordinating Budding Blooms die. 

I also cut a 4 1/4" x 2 3/4" white piece with the Stitched Lace die.  I backed it with the same size white piece.  I glued the top of the floral image to the bottom of the lace and then carefully cut away the bottom of the white lace so it would not show under the flowers.  

I stamped my Handwritten background stamp on the Poppy Parade card base in Poppy Parade ink and then embossed the sentiment from the Bloom and Grow set in white embossing powder.  I made sure to swipe it with my embossing buddy so the EP would only stick to the sentiment ink.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Bloom and Grow Poppy Case ~ CCMC594, CTC260

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary's sketch challenge #594.  I also used inspiration from Casing the Catty challenge #260 by casing the colors from the Peaceful Poppies suite.  I used Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, and Pool Party.  

I started by stamping a flower image from Bloom and Grow in Versamark ink onto watercolor paper and embossed it with shimmery black embossing powder.  I colored the image with my aquapainter and ink pads.  I paid homage to Dena Rekow by splatting my image by flicking the tip of my black stampin' write marker with the lid.  Just watch a few of her YouTube videos and you are bound to see the technique!  I like the look it adds!  

For the background elements I die cut my Flirty Flamingo panel with my stitched lace die, backed it with Whisper White, and then layered it on black.  I ran the Poppy Parade piece through the big shot with my Country Floral EF.  The whole thing is mounted on a black base.  The sentiment is from Well Said.

Stamps: Bloom and Grow, Well Said

Ink: Versamark, Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, Pool Party, Black

Paper: Watercolor, Black, Flirty Flamingo, Poppy Parade, White

Accessories: Shimmery Black EP, Country Floral EF, Stitched Lace Die

Sympathy Rose ~ CCMC330

Hello Stampers and welcome back to Hand Stamped Sentiments 2020!  We are kicking off the year with a pretty color challenge.  

My mind immediately went to flowers when I saw these colors and I've been itching to try the Christmas Rose in a non-Christmas way!  This was the perfect opportunity!  I made it a sympathy card because unfortunately I always need to have those on hand.  

I used my masks and Champagne Shimmer paint to create the elegant and subtle looking background.  The sentiment is from a retired set called Rose Wonder.  I've always loved the sentiments from that set.  I finished it off with some organza ribbon and pearls.  The card base is embossed with the basketweave EF. 

Thanks for taking a peek and I hope you'll join us over at HSS for this fun challenge!

Rhino Baby ~ CCMC593, FMS419

Hello Stampers and Happy New Year!  Can you believe we are in the year 2020?  How exciting!

Create with Connie and Mary is back after a short break for the Holidays and we are kicking off the new year with a soft color combo.  I saw baby when I looked at these colors so that's were I went.  I used the Animal Outing stamp set and also used the paper piecing technique.  

For the background I used the polkadot decorative mask and white craft ink.  I always think polkadots lend themselves nicely to a baby card.

My design also uses the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #416.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day and new year!!!
