Elegant You

Hello Peeps!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!

Here is a card that I did using clean and simple design and layout. The main image was stamped in Elegant Eggplant and I used blender pen shortly after to create subtle colors on the flowers. I used the EF for the background -just needed a little touch in that area. After I framed the sentiment in the round circles, I was pretty much satisfied how the card will look.

Hope you like it.

Awash with Flowers

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Monday !!!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was uneventful and restful with some family time.

I did a few stamping using the set above- Awash with Flowers. It is a 2 -step stamping and you can choose to line them up or not. I just did a visual on mine and it was sort of a hit or miss situation. Either way, I think they look pretty good.

In a way it seems like it is easy but I still have to make sure that I take time lining it up. I chose really soft spring colors and embellished it with the bashful blue satin ribbon.
