Watercolor Wings Just for You

The Watercolor Wings stamp set has very quickly become a favorite set
for my stampers.  The best part — it comes in a bundle.
The Bold Butterfly framelit coordinates wonderfully and when
purchased as a bundle you save 15% — don't you love a sale.
Watercolor WingsThe base of this card is the Thick Whisper White cardstock.
I added a layer of Mint Macaron and then a layer of Smoky Slate.
I stamped the border image from the Watercolor Wings stamp set using
Smoky Slate ink. 
Have you tried the Triple Banner Punch yet — love it!!!
I used that on the piece of 2015-2017 In Color DSP — Mint Macaron to
punch the banner end on each of the DSP strip.
I added a piece of the wonderful 1" Mint Macaron Lace Trim over the banner.
I stamped the full butterfly image with Mint Macaron ink that was stamped off.
Then I stamped the outer edges stamp using Mint Macaron ink full strength.
Last I stamped the inside image using Smoky Slate ink.
Cut out with the coordinating Bold Butterfly framelit, then stamp the body
of the butterfly with Smoky Slate ink.
I popped the butterfly up with dimensionals and last I stamped "Just for You"
with Memento Black ink.

Garden in Bloom Elegance

This was another fun card we made at my Bingo Night Monday night.
Garden in BloomWatermelon Wonder has become one of my favorite colors and I love
how it pairs with Basic Black — they just "pop" together.
The base of this card is the new Thick Whisper White cardstock.
I used the Elegant Dots embossing folder on the Watermelon Wonder cardstock.
I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock 2" x 4 1/4" and punched one end
using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.
I stamped the center of the flower image from Garden in Bloom stamp set
with Watermelon Wonder ink — next I stamped the flower outline
with Memento ink.  I stamped the small oval image in the center of the
flower with Watermelon Wonder ink (fills in the center white spot).
I added a large White Perfect Accent in the center of the flower.
The "a Happy Hello" are from the Tin of Cards stamp set.
Of course I used dimensionals to pop us the tag.
I love the look of this card and everyone finished it pretty quick.
