Tickled Pink Tropical Flamingo ~ HSS462, PP735

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments inspiration challenge # 462.  I was inspired by the print on the beach bag and the beach towel.  

My first inclination was to reach for my Mixed Florals set and color the pretty pink tulips.  However, I ultimately decided to go in a totally different direction and get tropical!  I used a mix of very old and new stuff.  The new items on my card are all from the Happy Hibiscus set.  The circle die, the flower dies, and the sentiment.  As for the old stuff, the Flamingo is from a set called Fabulous Flamingo, the leaves are from Tropical Chic, and the DSP is the coordinating paper from Tropical Chic called Tropical Escape.  The glimmer paper is Berry Burst and is also retired. I used those dark pink glimmer strips to mimic the stripes in the towel. 

I also used the sketch from The Paper Players #735.

Here's a list of my supplies...

 Stamps: Fabulous Flamingo, Tropical Chic, Happy Hibiscus

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Garden Green, Versamark

Paper: Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Pretty in Pink, Black, Polished Pink, Berry Burst Glimmer, Tropical Escape DSP

Accessories: White EP, Tropical Chic dies, Sparkle sequins, Happy Hibiscus dies

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Country Plant ~ HSS460, PP731, JUGS768

Hello Stampers! Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge.  Our colors this time are Pecan Pie, Pretty Peacock and Summer Splash.

 I focused a lot on the background using the Linked Together Decorative Mask. Which allows me to play along with the Just Us Girls stencil challenge.  I really love how this looks like a wooden lattice.  I think it goes together well with the plant. I also used Elements of Text stamps on the background behind the plant, but it's kind of hidden.  It's just a subtle look. I also added some splatters with another stamp in that set.  

For my Country Flowers plant, I colored the leaves with Summer Splash and Pretty Peacock blends.  I colored the pot with my light Crumb Cake blend and Pecan Pie blends.  This little potted plant ties into the tic tac toe challenge at The Paper Players this week.  I chose to use Ribbon, Green, and Sentiment.

 

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Country Flowers, Notes of Nature, Elements of Text

Ink: Pecan Pie, Summer Splash blends, Pretty Peacock blends, Pecan Pie blends, Crumb Cake blends, Memento black

Paper: Pretty Peacock, Summer Splash, Pecan Pie, Vanilla

Accessories: Brushed Brass Butterflies, Forever Greenery ribbon, Pecan Pie ribbon, Linked Together Decorative Masks, Tinsel gems, Linen Thread, Notes of Nature dies

Arches and Spring Roses ~ HSS459, TTTC266, TGIFC516

Hello Stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge for March.  There are a variety of images to get you inspired!  I was inspired by the roses and foliage and added the brushed brass butterflies to mimic the butterfly from the picture.  

 

I'm also playing along with Tic Tac Toe Challenge #266.  I used the middle portion of the board: Flowers, Spring, 3D or Dimension. 

I was also inspired by the Sketch from TGIF Challenges #516.  I used the sketch kind of loosely by letting the roses and flower cluster act as my three vertical elements on the right side. 

I'm really loving these Arches dies.  They add a cool architectural look to any card.  Much more fun than just rectangle layers.
