Create Along With Us

This card is CASing Betsy.  I loved all the white space and her flowing flowers and the movement in the leaves and especially the striped vellum on the side.

So I set to work with a sentiment from:

Words to Live By:  Courage

and added the flower designed by Rebecca from the Anniversary set called

Mixed Bouquet

June Create Along With Us

I am playing with PTI Create Along With Us...when they have a release and it lands on a Monday, instead of an MIM, they ask us to make a card inspired by a NEW card focusing on the new release of stamps and dies!

 

This is Lizzie Jones card that I am using as my inspiration... she is using the new Herb Garden kit.  I followed her card and used the same wood background and the Double ups rectangle die.

I used the Beautiful Berries: Spring and a sentiment from the Tropics set.

Thanks for stopping by friends!

Oh Man, when I saw today's release I knew I had to play with my butterflies!!

I loved everyone's cards with the new Color Pop: Butterflies!

I chose Amy's card and I used Beautiful Butterflies.  Now this was a little tricky because I also loved her darker background (brown), so I stamped and added some of the "layers" to the butterflies, I also added some copics to the butterlies!!

I had to do this in stages so that I could stamp again with versarmark and clear emboss the images.  When I was all done with stamping and embossing, I sponged on some antique linen distress ink.  THEN, I took it to the iron and melted off the embossing paste!

No more shine, but a real soft texture to the card!

I also used the little flower cluster from the color Pop: Flowers!

Here is Amy's card:

I loved the divided panel, a signature from Maile I believe!!

I also die cut the Thanking of You three times from Graceful Greetings!

Wow, it took a few hours, but I love the end result!!

Heart Hugs, friends!

PTI's September "Create Along With Us"!

OMG It was hard to pick just ONE inspiration card from this release!

I combined two of Dawn's cards and came up with this"

I used Tucked In:  Thinking of You and a Die from the Mat Stack 4 collection (selectively cut!) and then some stamps and dies from Quilted:  Autumn.

I layered a piece of orange Zest pattern paper and then a piece of PTI vellum over the top.

 

Thanks for taking a look!
