Flower Garden Meets Woodland Walk!

This is a card I started the other day (while procrastinating other things I was supposed to be doing!). I saw a card on Stampin' Connection where they sponged some color onto a piece of Designer Paper and I really liked it! I'm not sure that my card turned out to be exactly what I imagined, but it's an idea I think I'll work with again!

With the Woodland Walk designer paper, I sponged Crumb Cake onto the vanilla areas of the flowers. So that lead me to use Crumb Cake for the card base. - Like I never would use that color otherwise?! :)

And here's a close up of the Flower Garden embossed background - I gave it a little sponging with Crumb Cake to blend with the sponging on the paper.

I also added the saying from the Happy Greetings set. - Lovin' that sayings set!

Thanks for stopping by,

Quick and Elegant Flower Garden

I wanted to make a few thank you cards that I could do real quick to have on hand for mailing out. And this card is about as quick and simple as they come - but I think it still has an elegant feel to it.

I just ran the Very Vanilla through the Big Shot with the new Flower Garden Embossing Folder. I sprayed a little Shimmer on it (I just had to!). Stamped a thank you (from the Thank You Kindly set) in Marina Mist. Then I tied a piece of Satin Marina ribbon around it and layered it onto a Marina Mist card - and wah lah...

Here's a little closer of the embossed Flower Garden with the Shimmer Spray - not sure how well you can see the shimmer in the picture, but it just adds that little bit!

Wouldn't a bunch of these make a nice little gift set for someone?!


Hope you had a great weekend,
