Garden Coneflowers

Hi, it's Misti here, with my card for the Garden Party - #30 challenge.

I can just imagine having a chair on the patio, a cold drink, the wind blowing through my hair and looking out into a beautiful, peaceful backyard full of flowers.

I have tried and tried to grow white gerber daisies and all I can get to grow are the pink ones, so my dream scene would have lots of white daisies!

I used Impression Obsessions Coneflowers and colored them to look like daisies. I used Peeled Paint Distress Marker and the Detail Water Brush. I found a marker that would match the cardstock I wanted to use.

I backed the image panel with a piece of black cardstock and then Banana Split cardstock.

Then I inked up the Impression Obsession Gingham Cover-A- Card with my favorite black ink.  I cut it into strips and backed it with black cardstock from the Layering Swatches #2 pack. I took my white base and added a layer of the Banana Split cardstock, then white.  I taped down the gingham pieces with a little space in between the two of them.

Then to my image panel, I put Joy Foam Pads pieces on each corner and popped it up. To the yellow centers, I added some Wink of Stella glitter pen and Black Pearls in each corner to finish it off.

Hope you get your white daisies! Thanks Misti!

Damask Blue Love

Hi, it's Holly posting today!  When I was making this card, I was in the mood to get back to my stamping roots and get inky.  So I pulled out my stamps from Classy Cards 'n Such and put this together.

I started by very lightly sponging some medium blue ink over the Texture Mesh stencil onto white cardstock.

Next, I stamped the Worn Rose Branch, from Impression Obsession, right over the stenciled area. Using a dark blue ink, I stamped the sentiment from the With Love  by Stampavie, at the bottom.  This piece was matted with a blue cardstock, and I curled the corner to give it a little dimension.

I stamped the Damask Cover-a-Card background by Impression Obsession, onto white cardstock using the Mega Mount tool. This is invaluable for helping you to stamp with your larger stamps like backgrounds. I adhered this background to a blue card base and then I glued the rose branch piece to my card.

Sometimes a gal just has to play with her stamps, and that's exactly what I did. I love how the rose branch looks with the faded stencil-work in the background, and that damask background looks so rich and elegant.

Your card looks so elegant and classy! Thanks Holly!

A Daisy Today

Hi, it's Misti today!  

My card today is made with my cousin in mind. She isn't a whole lot older than I am and is having some major health issues. So this will be sent her direction.

I used the sentiment from the Daisy Today stamp set by Impression Obsession, and stamped it on to a piece of white cardstock.

I stamped the single daisy bloom and cut it out. All it took was a little bit of color in the center. I added some Wink of Stella clear glitter pen to the center to add a little pop!

I cut out the sentiment using the Spellbinders Labels Eighteen. Using a piece of a black piece of cardstock from the Layering Swatches and cut it out with Spellbinders Labels Twenty Nine.

Now, we are ready to put it together. Use a piece of white cardstock for your base, layer it with a piece of black cardstock. I took a small scrap of white and used the Scor Buddy Mini Scoring Tablet to add some lines to it.

Now we need some color. I took the lightest yellow piece of designer paper from the Bo Bunny Double Dot Designs paper pad, and cut off enough to leave my white piece showing. I added a ribbon, before I taped everything down. I used some Joy Foam Pads on the back of the black labels piece and the daisy to give them a little dimension.

The Black Baby Rhinestones are small enough to be added to the corners of the white label without it being too bulky.

Hopefully my card will give my cousin a smile for the day!

Your card is so full of cheer! Thanks Misti!
