God's Blessings To You ~ FMS724

Hello friends! Today's card is for Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #724. I made this fun-fold for a friend who needed a baptism thank you card. I love the way it turned out! I was inspired by Lynn Dunn's cards that you can see here. 

The dsp I used on the cross portion of the card resembled water to me, which I thought tied in well to the water baptism event.  

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

Stamps: Floral Charm, Delightful Wishes, Hope & Peace

Ink: Lost Lagoon, Pretty In Pink, Pretty Peacock, Melon Mambo, Versamark

Paper: White, Winter Meadow DSP, Pretty Peacock, Pecan Pie

Accessories: Riverside Irregular Pearls, White EP, Delightful Wishes dies

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Consume Cocktails 21st Birthday ~ CI202, CTC555

Hello friends! Today's card is a custom order I fulfilled for someone's special birthday.  I knew I could use the colors from Colour Inkspiration and make some super fun cocktails using a favorite of mine, {Cheers and Sips}. I also used {Love You More Than} for the sentiments to complete the cocktail theme.  I also used Casing the Catty's case a template Challenge. I loosely cased the scrapbook page layout, circled below, transforming it into card form. I played off the circles by using my dots Basics EF. 

I used blending brushes to achieve the color in the cocktail glasses.

Love You More Than Coffee ~ HSS481, IB373

Hi friends! Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge for February and the colors are perfect for a Valentines card! I recently picked up the last chance set More Than Autumn, and I'm super happy I did! I love the cutesy donuts and coffees, as well as all the other goodies this set has. I know I'll be using it quite a bit. 

I brushed on a bunch of Wink of Stella onto the hearts on the front of the coffee cups, the whipped cream, and the donut sprinkles. It doesn't really show in the photo, but it has a ton of shimmer in real life!

I'm also playing along with Inspired By Challenge #373 and The Paper Players "love is in the air" challenge #771.

Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Bubble Bath, Strawberry Slush, Crumb Cake blends; Black Memento

Seasonal Aspens ~ HSS480, JAI777, TCC223

Hello!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Photo Inspiration Challenge #480.  I was inspired by the tree photo mainly.  I knew right away I wanted to use my Aspen tree dies and the coordinating stamp set, which includes the cut, fat little bird.  I don't know why, but I've always liked fat little birds. This little guy has been laying on my desk for over two years, I'm certain.  I've held onto him because I knew there would be a project for him some day!  Today was the day! I was experimenting with coloring him using only blending brushes. I feel like he was destined to be perched in these wintery aspens and Pines on this card today. This wintery seasonal scene is also perfect for Just Add Ink's Just Add Something Seasonal Challenge.  Here in NE Montana we've been having a lot of winter fog.  It coats the trees with frost an makes things so beautiful!  That's what this card brings to mind. Everything is white and icy blue.  I'm also playing along with The Card Concept color challenge.  The bird fits perfectly within the challenge colors.  I'm considering Cloud Cover color more of a neutral.

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

Stamps: Perched in a tree, Delicate pines, Elements of text

Ink: Cloud Cover, Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, black, versamark

Paper: Cloud Cover, Pecan Pie, White, Vellum

Accessories: Linen thread, Pearls of Beauty, Aspen Trees dies, Thoughtful Moments dies, White EP, Delicate Pines dies

 

Nature's Symphony Great Guy ~ HSS479

Hello!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments first challenge for 2026, which is a sketch challenge.  I decided to not only follower the sketch, but also use the neutral colors from the sketch, as well.  I pulled out my new Nature's Symphony set, as well at the main focal leaf sprig from Covered In Flowers Accents.  The crosshatch stamp in background is an oldie, but goodie from Notes of Nature. 

The neutrals I used were Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Gray Granite, Secret Sea, and a little bit of Early Espresso ink. I wanted to use the "Guy" sentiment from the Nature's Symphony and I thought the neutral colors keep the card more on the masculine side.  The sentiment is stamped on a strip of watercolor paper.  I liked the little bit of texture it has.

Here's a list of my supplies...

Stamps: Nature's Symphony, Notes of Nature

Ink: Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Early Espresso, Secret Sea

Paper: Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Vellum, Very Vanilla, Watercolor

Accessories: Gray Granite bakers twine, Moody Palette Glossy Dots, Nature's Symphony dies, Covered In Flowers accents

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
