Rustic Sunflower ~ HSS224

Hello everyone!  It's Hand Stamped Sentiments time again!  This time we've got a rich trio of autumnal colors.  Aren't they beautiful together!  

I decided to go the sunflower-ish route.

I used a much neglected and now retired stamp set called {Build a Blossom}.  It coordinates with the Blossom Builder punch.  I stamped out each blossom in Delightful Dijon ink on the same color cardstock and punched each one out.  I added a Mossy Meadow circle to the center of the flower and then accessorized with a gold button and linen thread.

The Burlap ribbon and Early Espresso embossed woodgrain background add a rustic feel to this card.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Here's a list of supplies I used....

Burlap Birdie

This cute little birdie card was made for Our Creative Corner: How Green is Your Spring?  The challenge was to make a papercraft using green as a main color.  I purchased this sweet table runner from Hobby Lobby this spring, and it had me brimming with inspiration.  This challenge was perfect for this project!  Here's a pic of my inspiration piece....

I love how the wing of the bird is a leaf.  I used my Build A Blossom stamp set and punched a leaf/wing with the Build A Blossom punch.

Here's a closer look at the card.

Paper: Soft Suede, Pear Pizzaz, Crumb Cake, So Saffron, Old Olive

Calypso Blush Blossom ~ CCMC192 & ColourQ127

This card is for Create with Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge 192 and Colour Q 197.  The color combo this week was Calypso Coral, Blushing Bride, Chocolate Chip, and Certainly Celery.  I havn't used my Build A Blossom set very many times and was looking for a project for it.  I browsed some of the challenges for the week and bingo!  The color combo was perfect for the flower and I loved the sketch.....it also game me a chance to incorporate the paper doily, which I havn't used that many times either.

 

I added a little bit of blushing bride ink around the edge of the tag to give it a little "umph".
Here is a list of supplies I used with this card.....
Stamps: Build A Blossom, Just Believe
Paper: Calypso Coral, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, White
Ink: Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery
Accessories: large paper doily die, build a blossom punch, big designer buttons, 1/8" coral organdy ribbon, elegant bouquet EF
