Pumpkin and Turquoise flowers...

Hi there! I made a quick little OLC today for the color challenge on SCS-pumpkin, olive and turquoise.  I pulled out my branches4flowers set from The Stamps Of Life.  I made a very similiar card a month ago in just green and blue with a different sentiment.  This literally took minutes to make. The hardest part was adhering the rhinestones to the flower centers!  I am going to try to get out all of my fall decorations today so the house is decorated when boys get home from school. I LOVE fall!  I have lots of ideas brewing in my head but not enough time to do them in. LOL!

Have a great day,

A Sympathy card...

Hi there! Today I am sharing a sympathy card I made using the branches4flowers set from The Stamps Of Life.  I stamped the branch in brown ink and then stamped the leaves in celery and rolled some of the edges in wild wasabi.  I also stamped several leaves and then cut them out.  I used foam dots to pop some of the leaves to add dimension.  I hadn't done any paper tearing in a long time, so I tore the bottom edge and inked it with antique linen distress ink.  I went through a paper tearing phase several years ago and tore the edges of everything! LOL!

For those of you who's blogs I follow, I promise I will be back to commenting regularly SOOOON!

A little flower wreath....

Hello! Today I have a card using the branches4flowers set from The Stamps Of Life.  The moment I saw that little circle of flowers I knew I wanted to go for a "wreath" look.  I stamped it in red and then cut it out of white cardstock.  The gingham panel is DP from Melissa Frances.  I popped my flower wreath with pop dots and then stamped my sentiment in black on the gingham paper.
A simple card that could be given for a variety of occasions.
I hope you all are having a wonderful week. I know I am!  More on what's happening this week later!

There are so many possibilites.  It comes with a variety of flower blossoms, both solids and outlines.  It also comes with the grass (seen above) and a wonderful twiggy branch (you will see a card I made with that this week, too).  Lots of wonderful sentiments and some leaves!

My card above is simple and  one layer.  I stamped the grass with wild wasabi ink and the flowers are in ballet blue.  I added some tiny rhinestones to the centers of the flowers and stamped my sentiment in black.  I think I may make a bunch of these for several different occasions.

Thanks for stopping by today!
