I’ve had this card done for a while now and I just keep forgetting to share it with you. The flowers, stem & leaves are the Irresistibles dimensional elements. These are chipboard shapes that have some embossed images on them and then when you color them the images resist the ink. These are so fun and easy to work with. I just use a sponge dauber and ink them in a circular motion several times to get the intensity of color that I was looking for. The patterned paper is from the Splendor paper pack. Very whimsical & fun.
Recipe: Happy Birthday stamp set, Irresistibles dimensional elements, Splendor paper pack, Moonstruck stamp pad, Topiary stamp pad, Splendor brads, Corner rounder, Colonial white grosgrain ribbon & brads.

Quick card. Quick post. I had to make a card for my son’s teacher today. I don’t really know what his interests are so I just stuck with masculine colors and stayed away from my sports/hunting stamps. I pulled out my Wishes book and saw a design that appealed to me: Lower Layers.
I actually mixed and matched paper packs on a very minimal level here too. Yes, I’m starting small and will move up to mixing paper packs on a scrapbook page someday. Baby steps, you know.
Recipe:
Happy Birthday stamp set, Twitterpated paper pack, Grace Paper pack, Desert Sand textured cardstock & stamp pad, sandpaper, Twill ribbon, colonial white brads & Indian Corn Blue CS & stamp pad.
