Lovely Friend

Hey, all! It has been a minute since I was here! Have been creating, just not getting things shared here! Let's start with this one from yesterday, and I'll try to do a few other posts and drop lots of cards in the next few days!

I have been playing along with a challenge: Card a day in May! I'm just a few behind,2 I think, yesterday and today. Each day has a theme! for the 27th, it was Friendship! 

I recently got a couple of the new Shimmer Brushes. Think Wink of Stella, but with In Color! They are available in the 5 new In Colors. I grabbed Crisp Cantaloupe (LOVE that color!!) and got to work! Lovely Arrangements bundle, set and dies with the Lovely Blossoms DSP for the background. Crumb Cake pairs wonderfully with Crisp Cantaloupe. I cut the dots from Cantaloupe; the card base is also Cantaloupe as is the ribbon. Stamped the flowers with Black (the new Hybrid!), cut them with the die and then colored with just the Shimmer Brush. They curled a little bit and I don't hate it!! Used dimensionals to attach all and layer together. A few In Color dots are the final accent!

Thanks for stopping by! Product details and links below. Pop over to My Facebook page if you want to see all the recent creations, scroll and scroll! I will get them posted here over the next few days. Little crazy on the agenda today but the rest of the weekend looks calm!

Nature's Smile

Morning all! Back with another Nature's Symphony card! Simple, yet wow! There are two below as they came out slightly different!


Not a huge difference, just a little on the placement of the stem!

I wanted colors that weren't green. Guess I didn't go far from that, but I like it. Pretty Peacock card base, accent of Lost Lagoon. Background is Basic Beige and I put that through the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder. Stem image stamped in Pretty Peacock and cut with the coordinating die. Circle cut from Basic White with the Spotlight on Nature dies. Love the Smile saying from the Nature's Symphony set. Stem is attached with Mini dimensionals, the saying with regular dimensionals. Ribbon is the Gold Striped mesh. I tried Basic Beige but it wasn't enough of a pop. Then the accents, necessary because of the open space. They are "clear" from the Polished Dots set. 

Full disclosure, I thought most things were current when I made this last week. Now, several seem to be gone. Last Chance lists came out yesterday. Product links are below, with details on what I used. Look around for other options if what you're looking at doesn't come up. Sorry, inventory changes in a flash!! Some may be just temporarily out of stock as well.

Thanks for stopping by today! I've got to get taxes done this week, then I hope to be back more!!

Nature's Symphony

I've had some play time with this new bundle - Nature's Symphony and I'm loving it! It is actually in the current Mini Catalog so it has been around for a bit but I'm just now getting to it! I have another card I'll share soon, but here is one I just made! Also loving these In Colors!! Cloud Cover and Secret Sea!!


Card base is Cloud Cover, accent layer of Secret Sea behind a background of Basic Beige. Basic Beige is still fairly new but I'm learning to like that too. White is sometimes too much, but Crumb Cake can be too dark! Leaf die cut of Secret Sea. Other image stamped on Basic White with Cloud Cover and cut with the coordinating die. The Basic Beige background was stamped with the texture image from the stamp set, some in Basic Beige, some in Cloud Cover. Some full strength, some stamped off once. I then textured that whole panel with the Forever Plaid 3D folder. The rectangle for the saying is from the Perennial Postage die set and edges were sponged with a dauber in Cloud Cover. In Color Flat Pearl accents in Cloud Cover as well! Secret Sea ribbon.

I like it!! Click to enlarge if you need to see details!

Thanks for stopping by today! Will hope to be back soon!! Product details and shopping links below!
