Celebrate You

Hello, and happy Friday to my crafty friends! Yes, I know I haven't posted in a bit. Life just seems to be keeping me out of my stamping room, but never fear - I do have a fun card to share with you today! :)

I made this card back in May for a long time and dear friend (see I even have that on my card! lol) who also loves to stamp and has been stamping with me for too many years to count! When I made her card, I had just received all my new goodies from the new Annual Catalog and "needed" to try them all out. As a result, her card became my "lets see if these work together or not" kind of creation with lots and lots of different products. :)

Here's what I did: First I stamped flowers and leaves from the Petal Park bundle using Memento Black ink and then colored them in using Moody Mauve, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin' Blends before punching them out.

Next, I stamped my sentiment and frame around my sentiment using the Handmade Hugs stamp set with Pretty Peacock cardstock. Next, I decided I "needed" to to add more foliage around my flowers and stamped some leaves in Pretty Peacock ink and some flowers using Daffodil Delight ink with the new Layering Leaves stamp set and coordinating Bough Punch.

I then created a Pretty Peacock frame using the Countryside Corners Bundle and then added all of these to a layered piece of Pretty Peacock DSP from the Glorious Gingham DSP stack.

Of course everything was put on using Dimensionals and finished off with a few Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots. It was so fun to create with so many different products!! :)
