Summer Sunset

A birthday card inspired by the summer sunsets here on our mountain in North Idaho. The flower is from the upsy daisy set. I masked the sun with a post it note, then brayered the different colors in layers using daffodil delight, calypso coral, rich razzleberry, cajun craze. I sponged in daffodil delight, calypso coral, and melon mambo in specific areas to make them pop more. Stamped the flower in elegant eggplant then embossed with the petals a plenty EF; added daffodil delight seam ribbon, butterfly punch, the itty bitty punches, and the itthappy birthday stamped in rich razzleberry and cut with the banners framelits.

This is another card using the triple layer or triple stack technique. After stacking the 3 white layers, I stamped the doilies and flowers in crumb cake, pool party, and basic gray. I left them in a stack and embossed them with the petals a plenty EF. Then matted each layer with soft suede. The stamps used are from delicate doilies and fresh vintage SAB set. The happy birthday in the pool party scallop circle is from a retired hostess set called happiest birthday wishes. Ribbon is crumb cake seam binding.

Another Simple Reason to Smile

This is the same card for the Hayden library workshop, but with a different flower and a few of the itty bitty punches added for character. Sometimes if the class has over 5 or 6 people, I use a different stamp so more than one person can work at a time. So this is just a slightly different version than the last post.

Simple Reason to Smile

This card is for another workshop I am teaching at the Hayden library. Trying to keep it simple but still cute. This flower is from the reason to smile set. I also used the petals a plenty EF, the word window punch, and the itty bitty punches. I stamped the flowers in real red, calypso coral and pretty in pink.

Father's Day Field Flowers

This is a father's day card - and the reason I can get away with beautiful flower's for a "manly" card, is that my step-dad is an amazing photographer of wildflowers : ) So he is one of the few men that might appreciate such a card. It is similar to the previously posted Field Flowers Thank You but I changed the colors to add a little more masculine tones : )

For the two-step stamping on the flowers I used Cherry Cobbler for the outline and Pumpkin Pie for the shading. Cardstock colors are Soft Suede, Cajun Craze, and Whisper White. I stamped the image before diecutting with the Labels Framelits.

Field Flower Thanks

My goal with this card was to try to use a color combo that wouldn't be typical for me to select with the Field Flower set.  I used cajun craze, lucky limeade, early espresso, and white cardstock. For ink I used cherry cobbler for the flower outline, pumpkin pie for the two step stamping, and always artichoke for the stem and sentiment. I used the labels and bitty banners framelits, the petals a plenty and square lattice embossing folders, and the ribbon border and ticket punches. The sentiment is the itty bitty banners set with an antique brad below it.

Now on to father's day cards...

I almost didn't get the Everything Eleanor stamp set - and now I'm so glad I did! There are so many other things I should be doing right now, instead of playing with my new SU stuff : )  Anyhoo...I used markers and blender pens on the flowers.
