As Autumn nears, colors turn to deeper hues. These pretty flowers are from Textured Floral Stamp Set in Calypso Coral and Cherry Cobbler inks. The stamp images contain shading. They are easy to use and this card has no masking.
The sentiment is stamped on Very Vanilla and mounted over the flowers that are stamped on white. It works! This is a quick card to stamp and great to keep on hand. Try it!
Demonstrator Dana Meacham was the SWAP WINNER at my recent Midwest North Star Stampers Annual Demonstrator Gathering! She did an outstanding job with the Stargazing Suite #161189! This is a Fancy Fold that opens twice. The base card is a basic "Z Fold." Dana used Blending Brushes to add color to the astronaut before die cutting.
She paired the Stargazing 12X12" Designer Series Paper #161175 with the Holographic Trio 12X12" Specialty Designer Series Paper #161744. It's a WOW!!
The inside opens upward to view the sentiment. Thank you for a "STELLAR" creation, Dana! There were lots of other great swaps, too!

The Hydrangea Hill Suite #155985 is ELEGANT and let's you create any color blossoms you desire on card stock! These are "Z" fold cards cut 4-1/4 X 11" then scrored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2". VERY EASY! I used the interesting Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate sheets #154574. The left one is Highland Heather color. The right one is flipped over to the silver side of the Mercury Glass Acetate.
I inked the flower image in Highland Heather and then "rolled" the edge of the image in Seaside Spray ink for a lovely realistic color combo. That is called the "ROCK & ROLL" technique.
I rarely make just one card at a time, so this one is varied from the other.
Cards this exquisite demand fancy envelopes! The top envelope has the flap covered in the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper #154570. The lower card I created from the same Designer Papers using the border print and here is how:
