It's gor-jus isn't it? Yes, I'm channeling Jan Tink and YILM! I haven't been very excited about any of the cards I have made lately but I really love this one! I really thought I'd have trouble with the BFF set I got at convention as it was one I had passed over in the catalog many time but I'm finding a lot of uses for it. It's great for backgrounds and accents!
The color combo used here is actually from the color coach. I hadn't been using it much lately and have been kid of stumped for combos, duh! Open up the color coach Mindy! I LOVE the bright pop of lucky limeade here!
The flower medallion as I like to call it was super easy to make. I should make more cards with big, fancy stuff on them. Yes, they are a pain to mail but it's not like I actually MAIL many of the cards I make anyway, right? LOL! Gotta get better at that! Anyway it was just punched out, balled up, and sponged. Poke a hole in all of them and then put the brad through. Then I just glued some ribbon on the back! Stamping on the first edition paper is also one of my favorite things to do!
I think that about does it for this card! Time for me to go run 3 or 4 miles...or try at least. I waited until later since it's so hot out and now I want to stamp instead, haha! Hopefully I'll get some stamp time afterward...wish me luck on BOTH! Happy stamping!
I love it too! It's really pretty. I'm glad you so willingly share your creations with us!
ReplyDeleteLove your fancy schmantzy purple card! You know, I don't usually use purple in stamping either. Not sure why. I'm excited to use the Wisteria wonder though. It's so close to our bridesmaid dresses from out wedding, that I'm hoping it will get me inspired to finally do our wedding album after 10 years. Yikes! Love love love the touch of limeade. Gives it just the right pop! You should make more of these fun flowers!
