Floral thank you

Happy Friday to you!!  I needed to make some design team cards, but then I just wanted to make one for fun!  I looked at Paper Playful and found a few challenges to inspire me. :)   Here's what I came up with...

I had stamped a few of these flowers and leaves earlier this week and wanted to use one.  This is Sunny Studio Hawaiian Hibiscus stamps and dies stamped with Hampton Arts coordinating inks.  My paper is Simple Vintage Botanicals from Simple Stories.  The "Thank You" stamp was a freebie I got in an order long, long ago.


Challenges...
Aud Sentiments #152 - flowers + a sentiment
As You Like It - favourite embellishment and why (My favorite way to embellish is with thin dies.  I love the something "extra" that a fancy die bring or even the dimension a simple outline die like the one I used here adds.)
Simply Create Too #160 - use flowers
Just Add Ink #507 - sketch

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed weekend!!

with sympathy - TMS #492

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week, I've got one the very necessary but difficult types of cards to make... sympathy cards.  I've needed too many lately! 

My Prima Stationer's Desk DP is embossed with a Lifestyle Crafts EF.  My flowers are QuikCutz Rose die cut from scraps.  My clear sentiment is Raisin Boat Stunning Silhouettes stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and clear heat embossed. Ribbon and brad are from my stash.  


Challenges...
Aud Sentiments #221 - bingo + sentiment (I did top row - patterned paper, embossing, die cut)

Crafting With Friends #80 - anything goes
Inkspirational Challenge #181 - use your stash (paper, ribbon, brad are all over 2 yrs old)
Just Add Ink #445 - just add embossing (dry embossed my BG, heat embossed my sentiment)


Here's our sketch... this is Patti's favorite from last year.  It's the last one, so next week, we start again with all new sketches! :)

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to go check out the creations from the TMS DT...
