So the twist is to incorporate all three concepts into one card. We will see if I can come up with anything fun.
I inked up the shamrock stamp with the versafine olympia green and then placed that stamp face up and laid the artistic window ontop of it and removed some of the color. I then ended up stamping both stamps on white cardstock. Both stamped beautifully. I only used the green ones an saved the other ones for another time.
As you can see I repeated that a fewt times more. The background is the wood grain stamp from Hero Arts stamped using the Versafine Toffe. I then created a little wreath and added some twine and buttons.The second card was inspired by the October Afternoon Farm Fresh Paper. It has a lot of fun patterns in the pack. This one reminded me of the Toffee color I have been using alot lately so I paired it up and stamped some flowers on the pattern paper.
I cut the flowers out and created my stem from the flourish ontop of the wood grain stamp.
Very simple card. Both are for the Hero Arts Challenge this month. St. Patricks Day and Flowers.
Well I hope you have a lovely valentine's day and that it is special!
I wanted to make a correction to my post yesterday, several of you asked about the butter cream embossing powder. Well... I was going to use my Zing Cream EB powder but decided to you my Ranger Adirondack Butterscotch embossing powder on the flowers on my card. Hence the Butter Cream. :O Ohh... Sorry about the confusion. Now I am doing it with my embossing powders. Used to be just the kids I am calling by each others names.

ReplyDeleteSuzanne, these are gorgeous cards. I especially like the thinking of you one. I'm going to send my sister a link to your blog as she likes to do cards with flowers. She enjoys seeing what other artists produce. She is a whole lot more creative in her thinking than I am.
