Spring Tulips for Mom ~ HSS411, GDP388


Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments April photo inspiration challenge.  I chose to be inspired by the bottom left photo with the tulips.  I used an old set from several years ago called Tranquil Tulips.  I also used some inspiration from the CASE challenge over at Global Design Project.  


I stamped the tulips in Flirty Flamingo and Polished Pink along with Parakeet Party stems and leaves, on watercolor paper.  I used my aquapainter brush to go over all the tulips to make them look more watercolored.  I added some little daffodil delight flowers to add some extra color.  After the flowers dried, I brushed on some Bashful Blue with my small blender brush all over the panel and around the flowers.  I added a layer of Tahitian Tide around the edge to darken the top of the blue sky a little.  
I flicked water over the entire front panel after blending the blue inks to lift some of the ink off where the droplets landed.  I just like this look. 
The sentiments are from Well Written dies and Thoughtful Banners.
I finished off the card by added a few In Color Jewels.  


Here's a list of my supplies.....
Stamps: Tranquil Tulips, Thoughtful Banners
Paper: Watercolor, Tahitian Tide, White
Ink: Polished Pink, Tahitian Tide, Balmy Blue, Parakeet Party, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo.
Accessories: Well Written dies, In Color Jewels

Hues of Happy Birthday ~ HSS409, AYSI293


Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge for March.  I also used the inspiration from As You See It challenge #293.
I used a tag from Celebration Tags dies for the background of my main panel.  For the horizontal element across the bottom, I used a scrap of Like An Animal DSP that had been laying on my desk.   The Hues of Happiness flowers were also cast offs from a different project as well.  I added them on top of the tag and tucked the greenery around them as well as a little bit of gold leaves to pick up the gold in my distressed and ink blended animal print DSP.  





Here's a list of my supplies....
Stamps: Friendly Hello
Ink: Blushing Bride, Versa Mark
Paper: Flirty Flamingo, White, Gold Foil, Hues of Happiness DSP, Like an Animal DSP
Accessories: Gold pearls, metallic ribbon, gold EP, Animal Print EF, Celebration Tags dies

Artistically Inked Get Well ~ HSS408, PP628, CTC407

Hi there stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments February color challenge.  We've got a pretty palette for you to play along with for the next two weeks.  I wanted to play along with a couple other challenges too, so I used a get well message as my sentiment for The Paper Players 628, and I also cased the carrot card in the Sale-A-Bration catalog for Casing the Catty 407.  
The main panel of my card is 1/4 of a piece from a One Sheet Wonder I stamped.  What a fun way to make a bunch of cards.  I've been around the stamping world for a long, long time and had seen the OSW done years ago but I never jumped on the bandwagon.  I had recently seen a card done with it and figured there was no time like the present to give it a try.  I thought these colors lent themselves nicely to a floral OSW motif. I added in some Crumb Cake as a neutral.









Here's a list of my supples....
Stamps: Artistically Inked, Inspired Thoughts
Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue, Old Olive, Crumb Cake
Paper: White, Country Gingham DSP, Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue
Accessories: Everything Fancy sequins, Linen Thread

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Spanner Panel Leopard Print ~ HSS407


Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #407.
So, anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE leopard print.  My wardrobe is full of it!  When the spring catalog came out the Like An Animal DSP jumped out at me right away.  I knew that would be one of my first purchases.  
I paired it with the retired pink leopard DSP from last year's Pattern Party.  
Also, when I saw this sketch, my mind immediately went to a spanner card.  This is definitely a match made in heaven and it was very fun to make!  
I didn't add any other images other than the sentiment because I really wanted the paper to be the star of the show.  
The sentiment (from Charming Sentiments) is embossed in gold and cut out with a couple layering hexagons....one's a retired punch and the other is a die from Something Fancy dies. The bow behind the sentiment is Ribbon from the retired Fine Art ribbon pack.




Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
