hello friends, I am playing along with the gorgeous inspiration photo by fusion this week...I adore the beautiful red and fuchsia flowers against the ole' grey truck. I was inspired to create my card in the same fashion. I have used a distressed polka dotted stamp from prima for the background and then I sponged with altenew grey's over top. The tag is also from prima and I have used a combination of reds and pink inks from altenew to achieve the look. I added a pink fresh studio sticker sentiment. The off white flower was also sponged with ink...so cute. I have used taylored expressions felt and a simon says stamp leaf die for the flower leaf. A super fun card to create, I cannot wait to see how you are inspired.

to think of you is to smile

 I was determined to play with the inspiration photo from just add ink...I have started, completed, and given up on at least three cards already...lol. This was one of the hardest inspirations I have ever done. I finally just knew I was gonna use red and white and well, this is the outcome....not completely happy but I am gonna with it. I even used purple...lol..I was getting very desperate. I have used an amazing concord & 9th set called love you mean it...so many possibilities. A watercolored background using prima marketing confection pans and th distress inks for flowers and leaves. This was one of those times were I wanted to give up, but something inside of me would not let it rest...*grin*

words with meaning - let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

sunday stamps-hello there

hello and welcome to the sunday stamps challenge, we have an amazing color combo to share with you. These are my colors for sure, luv the greens and blues. I have used the freshly made sketch for today's card. The flower is from prima and I luv it...it is multi layered and you can create a sweet flower with the layers. It is called bayou flower, I added a little stickles to the center; a super simple but sweet card. I cannot wait to see what you create with the colors this week!
