FTTC19 Timeless Tuesday Summer Rose

Morning, Friends ! Timeless Tuesday at Flourishes challenges us to use dp on our card . My card today uses the Basic Grey " Euphoria" pack . I love the pastel hues with this rose. The rose is from Flourishes , of course, and was stamped with Memento London Fog for a softer hue and colored in with Copics . The image was then cut with oval Nesties of complimentary sizes and layered up . I added a satin ribbon and large pearls to the corners. The inside was left blank as I may use for a wedding card. A really simple card. What do you think ? Have a good Tuesday and thanks so much for coming by . I love it when you do ! { hugs !}

Friday Flourishes / Swing By ...

Hope your weekend is off to a great start ! A quick post for today . I wanted to get this card posted for the Flourishes challenge this week which was to make a simple 10 minute card. The dp is Basic Grey's Two Scoops and the stamps are from the Swing Set . I think it's pretty self explanatory but if you have any questions about anything, let me know. See you back here soon and thanks again for stopping by.

Gratitude ...

Here's my card for you today. The background stamp and the main image are from an Inkadinkado set. I stamped the background and then ran through the CB with a Swiss Dots folder. The main image was stamped with Memento Black and then just slightly colored in with Pink Passion, Gable Green , Summer Sun and just a tad of black . I then lightly sponged the image with Summer Sun. The sentiment is by Verve. I cut the image out with a Labels Two Nestie and added a yellow dew drop to the middle " dot". The sentiment was layered with pop dots and the ribbon was added to the base card ( Hobby Lobby) . Really an easy card but I love the colors and simplicity of it all. Hope your day is turning out to be "fan-tabulous ! Thanks for stopping by !

A Tub to Chill In !

G'Morning, Friends ! My card for you today uses Annie LaPointe's cute little tub from My Favorite Things. I love this stamp but confess I've never heard the term " Chill Out" used in a positive tone of voice, have you ? Well, today will be a first ... this is positive girls ... as in ... YOU deserve to soak surrounded by flowers ! I've used SU! Pomegranate and Basic Grey's Euphoria for the background papers. The frame is cut with Labels Four and the image with an oval Nestie. The image was stamped with Memento Black and colored with Copics and SU! markers plus a silver Zig Paintly for the claw feet and faucet. Angel Wings Shimmerz was brushed onto the tub for some light sheen and the edges of the oval was lightly sponged with Bliss Blue. Mount the framed image with little pop dots. I added a white satin ribbon and some dew drops to the corners and that's it ! Have a fabulous day , everyone and BLESS you for stopping by ! { hugs!}

Timeless Tuesday / Happiness ...

Hi Friends ! The challenge at Flourishes Timeless Tuesday is to use a frame such as a mat or similar. Here's my card. I played around with this for more than an hour and decided enough. I'm not thrilled with it but I think it's ok ,... what do you think ? The paper is from K&C, the stamps are from Flourishes, Judikins and IO. Trim , primas and brads are all from Michaels. I've been trying for the last couple of weeks to change my blog background but trouble abounds. So if you see something that seems a little " off " or not quite right... you will know why. Bear with me . I'm hoping with some help , I will get it all straightened out. Have a good -rest-of-the-day! { hugs !}
