Botanical Blooms - DSC#179

Hi Stampers,

Well...it is already time to post another challenge card.  Here is a look at my DOstamper Thursday DSC#179 Home Sweet Home Challenge!  On this card I focused the use of my Botanical Blooms Stamp Set and the matching Botanical Builder Framelits. The Botanical Blooms Stamp and Framelit Set is a MUST HAVE, it truly is one of my favorites.

I absolutely love the way that the petals separate on that flower, what a cool Flower Framelit!  Take a good look at those Fern Leaves, they look so real and delicate looking.  You really have to see it to appreciate it. 

I did a little background stamping on the card face before adding the main focal point flower to the card, and the finishing touch was to add the little black gem on the center of the flower to pull it all together.

Let me know what you think...Your comments are always welcome!

God Bless!

Sharon

Number of Years Card - DSP#178

Hi Stampers,

Take a look at this weeks DOstamper Thursday DSC#178 Sketch Pad Challenge!  I have been wanting to use my Number Of Years Stamp Set and figured no time like the present to come up with an idea using it.

This was a fun sketch.  I loved the challenge trying to figure out what I was going to use for the angled layers on the card front.  I worked on the top layer and kept thinking that it needed just a little something else to bring it out and then the light bulb in my head went on....I decided to go over the stamped image and emboss it using the Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Perfect, just what I was looking for!

The finishing touch was to add the little Metallic Sequins and 

the Daffodil Cotton Ribbon to pull it all together.

Basic Instructions:

• Cut Whisper White CS @ 5-1/2 x 8-1/2", score @ 4-1/4"
• Cut Whisper White CS @ 3" x 4-1/4"
• Cut Crumb Cake CS  3" x 4-3/4" 
• Envelope and Liner were both made with the Envelope Punch Board.
