Hello Lovely Floral Spray for Case This Sketch #315

I love the simplicity of this week's Case This Sketch challenge sketch so I just had to play along.  Although this photo doesn't do it justice the gold embossed flowers and leaves have been painted with the Mint Shimmer Brush and Sugarplum Shimmer Brush.  This card is so much prettier in person!

The Mint Card Stock background was embossed with the CTMH Swiss Dots embossing folder.  The gold stripe is from retired Happy Times paper pack.  The floral spray focal image is from a retired stamp set called "Hello Lovely" which also came with a coordinating Thin Cut Die.  

After I had made this card I realized I needed a wedding card so I added the greeting from the Hello Lovely stamp set on Sugarplum Card Stock.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

     Tuesday Throwdown--Pastel Colors

     Fab n Funky--Just Add Ink

     Through the Craft Room Door--Anything Goes

     

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!

Three Ways to Create Background Stamped Panels

One of the weekly challenges this month at the Heart 2 Heart challenge blog is to use background or random stamping. (I've now completed 3 of the 4 March challenges and will finish the 4th one soon.) Using the Hello Lovely Cardmaking stamps I created three different cards using the same stamps.

Card #1--White embossed and then watercolor painted:

Card #2--Clear embossed and then sponge colored with Poppy and Fern inks

Card #3--Stamped with Memento Black ink on White Daisy paper

Which one do you like best?

I'm sharing these cards with these challenges:

     Heart 2 Heart--Background Stamping

     Simon Says Wednesday--Anything Goes

     Cards in Envy--Black, White and Pop of Color

     The Male Room--Colours

     CAS Colours and Sketches--Sketch

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
