Vintage Peace and Pine Bow ~ HSS500

Hello friends!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments 500th Challenge!  We have a wonderful sketch for you to play along with this time! 

When I saw this sketch I knew I wanted to use my newest pack of DSP, Yuletide Carols.  I also knew I wanted to use an Everyday Arch in place of the scalloped element on the sketch and the rest fell into place from there.  I added some sparkle with the Autumn Woodland Glimmer paper because I think every Christmas card could use some sparkle!  :)  

As the card was coming together, I felt it could use a bit of color, so I intoduced a few die cut vellum pieces from the retired Graceful Greenery Vellum specialty paper pack.  I used a greeting a matching die cut from Christmas Labels, a stamp set from a few years ago.  I love the vintage feel of that set and I think it goes perfectly with the Yuletide Carols vintage look.  For the accessories, I tied the greenery bundle together with a trio of ribbons, one being a retired Victoria Lace ribbon, again, adding to the vintage feel.  I scattered some Low Profile Sparkle dots in Mossy Meadow and Gold Dots to bring a bit more color into this very neutral palette. 

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

Stamps: Christmas Labels

Ink: Early Espresso

Paper: Vanilla and Early Espresso CS, Graceful Greenery Vellum, Autumn Woodland Glimmer, Yuletide Carols DSP, Country Woods DSP

Accessories: Low Profile Sparkle dots, Gold dots, Christmas Labels die, Everyday Arches die, Fine Art ribbon, Victoria Lace ribbon, Mesh ribbon, Linen Thread

 

Love Wishes ~ CI219

Hello Friends!  I'm so excited for today's card because it's one I created as a Guest Designer with Colour Inkspiration!  Our colors for the challenge are Crushed Curry, Azure Afternoon, Lost Lagoon, and Crumb Cake.  

I've been needing a bunch of wedding and anniversary cards lately, so that's what I wanted to make.  I used the new stamp set Sweetly Sentimental and I paired it with the dies and sentiments from Delightful Wishes.  

It's kind of  hard to see in the photos, but the main yellow flower is "puffy". I stamped the flowers on the main scalloped panel and then stamped a cut a second big yellow flower.  I manipulated the paper on the back of the flower to give it some dimension and make it look "puffy".  I popped the second flower over the top of the first one with dimensionals.  It really gives a cool look and makes this card a little extra special!  

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

Stamps: Sweetly Sentimental, Delightful Wishes

Ink: Memento Black, Crushed Curry, Azure Afternoon, Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake

Paper: Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Very Vanilla, Gold Foil, Country Wood DSP, Everyday Essentials DSP

Accessories: Delightful Wishes dies, Scalloped Christmas Cheer dies

Forever and Always Autumn ~ HSS499, FF220

Hello Friends!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge for October.  Our lovely colors are Timid Tiger, Cajun Craze, and Misty Moonlight.  I added in a touch of Cloud Cover....I know it's technically not a neutral, but it felt like that to me on this card, so I used it as a neutral addition.

I'm playing along with Festive Friday too! You have to use at least 3 items from the inspiration list, but I'm using four: orange, Mesh (my gold leaves), die cuts, and torn paper.

Secret Sea Sympathy ~ HSS496, AYSI380

Hey friends! Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments September color challenge. We have fallish color palette of Secret Sea, Cajun Craze, and Pool Party.  I also used the sketch challenge from As You See It #380. My card features a gorgeous peice of Beautiful Gallery DSP. I added leaf diecuts in the challenge colors from the Changing Leaves die set. Everything is settled on a Cajun Craze background piece cut from Ornate Layers dies.

The melancholy feel of the DSP seemed to me like it called for a sympathy sentiment, so I pulled out my Heal Your Heart set.  

I finished the foliage cluster with a couple small snippets of Night of Navy corduroy ribbon that I brushed with a Secret Sea blends marker and a linen thread bow. A few glossy dots finish out the embellishments. 

The whole main panel is splattered with Secret Sea blends marker.

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

Stamps: Heal Your Heart 

Paper: Secret Sea, Cajun Craze, Pool Party, Beautiful Gallery DSP

Ink: Secret Sea ink and Blends, Cajun Craze 

Accessories: Changing Leaves and Ornate Layers dies, Linen Thread, corduroy ribbon, glossy dots
