Wrapped Bouquet

 This was one of the first sets I bought out of the spring mini catalog- the bouquet wrapped in what looks like newspaper is something that always appeals to me

basecard is Soft Sky - retired - but one of my favorites with so saffronl although hard to tell here with the diecut from Stitched so sweetly dieset.

stamp the sentiment from Peaceful Moments - Stamped the image in pear pizazz then colored it in with a bunch of different colors- colored the pink flowers with melon mambo using watercolor technique for a soft color then added extra color to the center with the melon stampin blends. Diecut extra leaves in white and watercolored it with different ink refills- pear pizazz and old olive to create a fuller bouquet.

tied it with some left over grass type ribbon left over from another project to finish the look

Enjoy!

Seashells thank you

 the basecard was thick white with a layer of pretty peacock. Took a piece of whitecardstock.  Took the seashells embossing folder and on the flat side inked it direct from the pad using granny apple green, balmy blue and pretty peacock (retired) and embossed it and it creates this gorgeous negative seashells that just POP- - took the stitched nested labels with the thank you from the spring Sale-abration and tied with the crumbcake baker's twine.

Dragonfly Garden and Dandy Garden memories and more cards

I missed everyone so much and not having classes I got lazy and have not been making much cards and things and feeling rather blue.  Being rather tech slow I took me a while but I did finally figure out how to host a zoom meeting and started a zoom class this month to see how it goes and it was not bad- a little clumsy - doing it out of my dining room on a corner table so I can fit the camera - You would all laugh if you saw my setup.  But I don't have a fancy craft room (although I would really love one) or even a dedicated table so I am using an old hospital side table I had kept from my old office when it went bust and it shakes when I stamp and my stamping area is tiny but the camera 

my husband got for my kids so they can go remote seems to work fine so I am making do.  

It was SO GREAT to see everyone on line and being able to share all of this fun stuff that I have been amassing.

Anyway this was one of the cards we made at our get together- using the  Dandy Garden memories and more cards which is preprinted and pretty good deal.  Took a strip of the Dandy Garden DSP across the bottom.

then a Calypso coral piece then a white stamped in black memento ink with the flower image and the dragonfly on a scrap piece- color with various markers as shown.  bumblebee on the wings and mount using dimensionals. Sentiment from Garden Wishes set with versamark and heat emboss with white embossing powder onto bumblebee cardstock and die cut using the die from Ornate frames. Add some basic pearl jewels to finish.
