Zig Zag Flower

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great week! Friday can't get here soon enough! Nick has a bike race this weekend and I can't wait to get to some cooler weather! I have so much to do around here but I am looking forward to getting away. I can't believe that we have been in school for three weeks now! Wow! It's going fast but there are times when I feel like I have been there for months - lol! 

For today's card I challenged myself to use this set, Flower Patch. I have had it for a while but I think I have only used it once! So I created this simple card!

• Card base is Whisper White
• On another piece of Whisper White stamp the zig zag lines image from Stamp a Bag stamp set twice using Cucumber Crush ink
• Stamp the greeting from Flower Patch onto the panel using Tuxedo black Momento ink then adhere panel to card base
• On another piece of Whisper White stamp the flower from Flower Patch using Hello Honey ink and cut out using the coordinating Flower Fair framelits
• Stamp the leafy stem image twice onto a piece of Cucumber Crush card stock using Cucumber Crush ink and cut out using the Flower Fair framelits
• Adhere the leaves to the back of the flower and then adhere the flower to the card with dimensionals
• Tie a piece of linen thread through a silver basic metal button and tie a bow then adhere to flower center
• Add rhinestones

Happy Dotted Hello

Good morning everyone! The weather has turned cooler and it looks like we could get some rain! That would be nice! And maybe today I can get more done than I did yesterday? We will see. I seemed to have gotten distracted yesterday. I hope to be more focused!

Today's card was a fun one for me! I think this color combination may be one of my favorites! I also used a new stamp set!

• Card base is Mint Macaron
• On a piece of Whisper White stamp the solid dots from Stamp a Bag stamp set using Mint Macaron ink
• Stamp the circle with lines image using Tangerine Tango and then again using Daffodil Delight
• Stamp the speckle image from Gorgeous Grunge set using Daffodil Delight
• Stamp the greeting from Tin of Cards using Momento ink then adhere panel to card
• Flag the end of a strip of Tip Top Taupe using the Triple Banner punch
• Punch a heart into the banner using the itty bitty accents punch pack
• Tie a piece of Mint Macaron dotted lace trim around the banner and adhere to card with dimensionals
• Add rhinestones to card

Pretty simple and fun! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
