Frame with a View

Today's card uses primarily Pool Party with accents of Primrose Petals, Gumball Green and Soft Suede inks! I inked the flowers with Primrose and Gumball markers and stamped them. I masked the flowers and stamped the frame in Soft Suede then cut out the center of the frame and stamped En Francais on Whisper White CS to place behind the frame. The flowers were then sponged with Primrose ink. They look much more red in the picture then they really are! I added the little Doily stamp at the bottom from the Kindness Matters set using Pool Party ink and then sponged around the other three edges with Pool Party ink as well on that layer.

 I am loving this new set- Papaya Collage!

Another Sneak Peek at the Papaya Collage stamp set and the new in-colors! I used just the new in-colors on this one and added some texture to the cardstock and  the Denim Jean Ribbon which went with these colors pretty darn well! The frame is stamped in Primrose Petals ink, the small scroll frame in the upper corner with the circle center is stamped in Raspberry Ripple with a 3/4" circle punched from Summer Starfruit in the center.

Celebrate Spring

I was so inspired by Bonnie's ( bon2stamp) card that I had to create a few of my own with the same idea but different flower stamps!

Another NO layer/NO accessories card using Just Believe and Baby Blossoms stamp sets.

A few little blossoms were added from the Baby Blossoms set. The stems were drawn to the flowers with the Pear Pizzazz marker! I love to add little details with the fine point of the marker too, like adding a tiny bit of shading to the middle of the flowers.

These cards are so sweet, simple and fun to make!
