Dynamic Duos #96: Your Choice!

Good morning! Happy Saturday!  This week at Dynamic Duos, you get to choose the color of your choice  to pair with Gumball Green!  Here's the challenge:
And here's my card creation. I chose to use Island Indigo with Gumball Green.
A simple card, I know, I know.
But hey, I think it looks darn good with it's simple presentation. The flowers are so vibrant that you really don't need to add too much. It makes a statement all by itself.  In case you didn't know, I'm a sucker for flowers...all of them.  I have way too many stamp sets that have flowers, but gosh darn, this set is so so pretty. Don't you think so??? Have I mentioned how much I LUV (as Tenia Nelson would say) that water mark image?! It's absolutely my most favorite "stamp image" in the new catalog.
And look how cool the Scallop embossing folder looks with it.  LUV it!

I stamped two sets of flowers and aqua painted them with my reinkers after stamping the water mark randomly over them.  I did add some Crushed Curry to the center of the flowers as well.  And see those white dots?  That was made supper easily using the White Chalk Marker. Another yummy accessory to add to your stamp/craft collection. :)
RECIPE:
STAMPS: Happy Watercolor
INK: Basic Black, Island Indigo, Garden Green, Smokey Slate and Crushed Curry
PAPER: Island Indigo, Garden Green and Whisper White
ACCESSORIES: Aqua painter, Scallops embossing folder, White Chalk Marker, retired Island Indigo ribbon and dimensionals.

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...

Lovely Arrangements Bundle

 Hello, crafty friends!  Today, I am sharing a birthday card I made for a friend using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. These large and beautiful flowers are paired with the Lovely Blossoms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. The flowers were stamped using Secret Sea ink onto Basic White cardstock and were then colored with Cloud Cover Stampin' Blends. For fun, I added 1/2" punched circles to the centers of the flowers using retired Night of Navy glossy paper. The sentiment was stamped using Secrete Sea ink and was then cut down with my paper trimmer.  The flowers and sentiment were adhered to my card front using Dimensionals. For the background, I die cut 2 sets of Secrete Sea  cardstock "circle clusters" and adhered them to a rectangle die cut piece of Cloud Cover cardstock followed by 2 pieces of Lovely Blossoms DSP. Next, I added 3 sets of Old Olive die cut leaves around my flowers, a Night of Navy bakers twine bow, and a few white embellishments to finish...
