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.

Happy Birthday, Mom! HSS458, PP727, IB325


Hey there stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge for March.  I decided to use the Mixed Florals again this time and it works itself in perfectly for The Paper Players Theme Challenge #727: Spring Flowers.  These tulips are the perfect spring flower.  I really like the style of these flowers and I thing they are beautiful colored brightly!  I'm also playing along with Inspired By #325 because of the gingham.  I just love gingham anything and I've used it here in the designer paper and the ribbon.
