Hello Gorgeous-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

 

Hello! This month Deb and I have chosen this beautiful color palette as our inspiration. My granddaughter is obsessed with sunflowers, so I have several sunflower stamp sets and thought I would use one as my starting point. I stamped the sunflowers and leaves from the Recollections Sunflowers stamp set onto white Copic-friendly cardstock and colored them using my markers. I fussy cut them out and arranged them in a line using adhesive. I stamped the Sketchy Line background stamp by Simon Says Stamp using light blue ink onto a white panel. I adhered a paint chip I had picked up at my local hardware store to the bottom of that panel at an angle. I then adhered some gold glitter washi by American Crafts and my sunflowers above it to create a border. I die cut the entire panel using a stitched rectangle die by Paper Rose. I backed the panel with some early dark brown cardstock from my stash and adhered the panel to my white A2 card base. I stamped the sentiment from Honey Bee's Sweet Sunflower stamp set at the bottom using Versamark ink and embossed it using Ranger's detail white embossing powder. I finished by card off my adding some gorgeous coppery sequins from Pawsome Stamps. For my coffee, I chose a delicious pumpkin cold brew from our local Ziggi's coffee shop. Be sure to stop by Deb's blog and see how she was inspired by this month's color challenge. Thank you for stopping by my blog today!

May All Your Wishes Come True

 

Today's card was created for my granddaughter's upcoming birthday. She absolutely loves sunflowers, and I thought I would challenge myself and create a sunflower card for her big day. I started by stamping the background directly onto my white A2 card base by using Stampin' UP's crumb cake ink and Heidi Swapp's woodgrain background stamp. I then inked around the edges and some of the card base using the same ink to make it look more like wood. I then stamped the sunflower and leaves images from Recollections Sunflowers stamp set onto white Copic-friendly cardstock and colored them using my alcohol markers. I fussy cut the images out and adhered them to the base of my card using thin foam tape. I stamped the sentiment from Pawsome Stamps XL Birthday Greetings stamp set using Versafine onyx black ink in the upper left corner of the card base. I finished off my card by adding some pretty sparkling black gems around the card to add some additional sparkle and shine. Thank you for stopping by my blog today!
