I struggle with this style of card, 

so I do like to try and make them from time to time. 

Here, I have created a set of 4.

I used the Impression Obsession stamp set, Bloom Baby Bloom.

It has these 4 pretty little wreaths, each design a bit different.

Amalgam Black ink.

Copic Markers.

Sakura Glitter Pen.

Same card designs with different wreaths in different colors.

Very Clean, Very Simple.

The struggle is real!

Makes for a pretty little set of note cards.

Over the past couple of months I whipped up a ton of 

CAS cards and cards that are nice and flat, no embellishments.  

I gave a whole basket of them to my daughter.  Thought she

could keep in touch with her girlfriends via snail mail.

It's been a year....am I right?!?!  Well looooonger than a year!

Thanks for stopping by!  So grateful you do!

Note Cards

Happy Tuesday!  Back on the Great Impressions Blog!

A couple of little note cards and matching envelopes.



These were created using several Great Impressions stamps, C270 Butterfly Trio, D508 Fun Flower Border and E791 Sweet Sentiments. 

 

I randomly stamped the flower border image all over on a larger piece of card stock and colored with Copic Markers.  Then I cut it in half creating smaller panels, one for each note card.   I also created 2 panels with texture using a Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. 

 

 

Added my butterfly image and each sentiment to a piece of card stock, die cut using Classic Circles, layered onto a piece of lime green card stock die cut using the Scallop Circles.  A little bit of ribbon to dissect each panel and a few pretty pink rhinestones for accent.  I may make a few more of these note cards and perhaps a box as a gift set.  Everyone loves those! 

 

You still have a few days to play along in the Great Impressions Monthly Challenge, Add A Sentiment.   Don't forget to upload any of your Great Impressions creations to our Customer Gallery......you may win some bonus prizes come year end just for being a loyal Customer!!!

 

Thanks for popping on in, so happy you did!

 

Enjoy~~





Happy Sunday Morning!

Good Morning!

We have a little bit of rain and lower temperatures, I do believe the humidity has left, or at least most of it.  PHEW! 

Today's cards are for  The Flourishes Challenge, Make It Mini.  I am happy to say that I actually own 2 beautiful sets of stamps by Flourishes, Dahlias and Anemones.  What delightful flowers to color complete with lovely sentiments.  YAY!  I ordered them on a Saturday morning and they were in my mailbox Monday afternoon!  How does that happen?  BEST service I have ever encountered!

Just sweet little note cards using the Dahlias set.  I loved coloring these flowers, so beautiful!  And as a gardener I love growing them as well, wish mine looked this good!

Enjoy your day, may you find peace along the way. 

And remember......Stop And Smell The Dahlias!
