Hyacinth, Maybe??

Yesterday’s post said Lilac — send me your thoughts.
Well, I heard back from my flower and tree expert, Rorie.
She says this pretty flower is a Hyacinth and I
believe she is right.  It is a pretty flower no matter
what it is, so here is another card using that stamp.
The set used is Helping Me Grow.
Thank You Lilacs logoWe started with Wisteria Wonder card base.
We added layers — Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz and
Whisper White.
We stamped the flower with Memento ink
and colored in with inks and Blender Pens or
Aqua Painters.
We stamped THANK YOU with Memento
on Wisteria Wonder cardstock and punched
out with 1 3/4″ Circle Punch which is layered
on a 2″ circle of Pear Pizzazz which is
layered on black that is punched using the
2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch (retired list).
We added a banner of Pear Pizzazz that was
punched on both ends with the Triple Banner Punch.

Lilacs???

I'm not much of an expert on flowers except
I like to look at pretty ones.
Here's another card from the Helping Me Grow
stamp set.  I'm not sure but I think these might
be lilacs??  If I'm wrong leave a comment to
correct me (Rorie??).
This time we didn't color the flowers in,
just left the outline in Wisteria Wonder,
what a perfect color for these flowers.
Much Appreciated logoThe card base is Thick Whisper White with a
layer of Wisteria Wonder and then Whisper White.
We used Wisteria Wonder ink to stamp the
dots at the top and left edge and then to
stamp the flowers.
We stamped the label with Wisteria Wonder ink
on Wisteria Wonder cardstock, stamp the
greeting with Memento ink.
We cut the label out with the Rose Garden
thinlit.  We wrapped a piece of
Wisteria Wonder 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon
(this is retiring — get it now) around the
card before attaching the Wisteria Wonder
layer to the card base.
Add the label with dimensionals.

This card is pretty quick — I can't wait
to mail out some of these thank you cards.

Much Appreciated Daisy

Last night was my Stamp of the Month Class
featuring the Helping Me Grow stamp set.
Everyone attending received the stamp set to keep.
This was my favorite card that everyone made — it's
a nice clean, simple card.
Daisy logoThe card base is Thick Whisper White.
We stamped the cute little corner stamp with
Memento ink — love this little corner stamp.
I added a panel of Basic Black and a piece
of the Botanical Gardens designer paper.
Then another layer of Black.
The next layer is Hello Honey and
we used two stamps from Timeless Textures
with Hello Honey ink to give the cardstock
a little texture look to coordinate with the
designer paper.
We inked up just the one daisy with Memento
ink and stamped on a 2" circle of Whisper White.
We colored the center of the flower with
the Delightful Dijon marker.
This is attached to a Black circle cut using
the Circle Framelits (did you see these are
on the retiring list).
After everything is attached we added a strip
of Everyday Chic Washi Tape.
