Awash with Flowers

I was putterin' around the other day and grabbed a set that Betty was so kind enough to let me play with.  The set is called Awash with Flowers.  It's a 2-step stampin' set ~ and I've always liked those.  So, ready to see what I created?  Of course!

These are the two cards that I made.  I like to make things in pairs ~ I guess it's the OCD in me Ü  The base card is Apricot Appeal that I layered with Cherry Cobbler (one of my FAVORITE new colors!) and some Georgia Peach DP.  I used Real Red, Regal Rose, So Saffron and Old Olive inks to stamp the flowers out.  Then I added the butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies die in Old Olive with a couple of rhinestones and I was pretty much done.  Oh, I did add the sentiment inside with Old Olive ink from the Whimsical Words set. 

I just love that color Cherry Cobbler.  I think that I may be using that more than any of the other red's.

On another note ~ today is National Waffle Day!!  I think that's what we'll have for lunch time today ~ yum!!

Sorry this is a short post, but I hope that you have a super great day!

Whimsical Words

Good morning everyone ~ I hope that today finds you well.  This crazy weather has been something else.  We've been hot and humid here for a few days, and of of course our A/C has a problem again.  The 3rd time in 4 years.  I think that we may be looking at a new unit in our near future - I hope not, but the thought is likely...  So I've not really been crafting too much.  But I did make a card that I'd like to show you.

Ready for the details...

The base card is Ballet Blue that I layered with Pacific Point and some Maine Blueberry DP.  I punched the ♥'s with my Martha Stewart Doiley border punch, added a ribbon and attached it to the back of a piece of the Maine Blueberry paper that I got from SU! on clearance.  I stamped the little fence from The Angel Company set called Brighten Girl and attached it to the middle of the card.  I then cut out the scallop oval in Bashful Blue and the white oval with my nesties and adhered them together.  I stamped the sentiment from Whimsical Words in Close to Cocoa ink and attached that panel to the card with pop dots.  I then cut out the leaves with my Sizzlits Little Leaves die in Certainly Celery, added some prima flowers that I had and I was complete.  I think that it is pretty, don't you?

I hope that this inspires you today.  I'd love to see what you create ~ leave me a link here and I will go take a peek.

Have a super great afternoon, I am going to go figure out how to keep cool in the craft room so I can create something to show you tomorrow.
