Today is the last day of my countdown for Flower Garden and Flower Garden Sentiments. I have a few last cards to share today. a little dessert so to speak. :)
First... Nichole's post yesterday was so inspiring! I am a vintage loving girl and wanted to create something with my sets using the same color combination.. Aqua Mist is AMAZING with Cream and Kraft!
I love how this combination turned out ... I had to include some sweet buttons too... I'm sort of becoming addicted to buttons! LOL! This photo doesn't do this justice in all honesty.. this card is smoother looking IRL. I paired up the bunch sentiment with the circle image from Bordes & Corners {Circle). These Marvy flower punches are so sweet.
Here is a close up...
Next, This is the very first card I made using my sets... I just wanted to play... get a feel of it. So I started to simply stamp.
Nothing elaborate. simple and sweet!
When I was creating Flower Garden Sentiments I knew I needed a stamp that said I'm Sorry. Really... I need one more often than not. :) This is also the card I was working on when I figured out the rotating flower concept for this set. There is a companion card to this one using the flower individually, however you will have to wait until it shows up in PaperCrafts Card Creations: Quick and Easy in December. It just got accepted yesterday!
I have grown to love masking SO much and I will share with you in a moment a special way I've just started to do it. Masking really made this card come alive! This quote is so lovely and I can see using it on sympathy cards as well as pick me up cards. this is yet another Flower Garden Sentiments stamp!
Here is my new way of masking: I take a transparency sheet and stamp all of the images that I might want to mask in a set. (I use black StazOn for this) I then trim out the stamped images and store them in a glassien bag with a little label. I use these babies over and over again when masking the traditional way! So easy! not only is the transparency thin enough... but I can really see what I'm doing!
I hope that through the Flower Garden and Flower Garden Sentiments countdown posts this week you have seen the amazing and versatile uses of this Whimsically fun set! Also... make sure not to forget to order the mini set, Flower Garden sentiments. Many people just plain forget to order the mini sets only to be bummed about it later! it's an incredible deal at on $5!
I hope you have enjoyed this week with all of the Papertrey Ink countdowns. Nichole and Debbie have more to share, make sure to pop by their blogs!
This has been a special week. I feel like I am in my last day at Disneyland. I've had a fantastic time, not sure if Im ready to be done, but tired beyond belief! LOL! I have a brand new appreciation for Nichole and the amount of work that she does every month with her count downs. What a fantastic Designer,example and friend she is! I hope you will, if you have not already, take the time to thank her for all of her hard work. Her unique involvement in her tri-owned company is one of the major aspects that sets Papertrey apart from the rest! She goes beyond the needed and embraces the extra mile!
Make sure to stop by the Papertrey Ink Forum and join in on the release party tonight! (June 14th, @ 10pm EST)
Have a creative... flower filled day!
