Serene Silhouettes

 

I am usually a bright and sunny color person but I decided to make a card using more neutral colors.  I saw a card similar to this one on Piinterest and decided to try it but at the same time changing it.  First I stamped the flowers from Serene Silhouettes in Early Expresso onto Very Vanilla Card Stock.  Then I covered both sides of the card stock with a straight edge and sponged (yes, sponged! I know. Aren’t you surprised?) the open area in Crumb Cake and then stamped the sentiment from Sweet Essentials.  The ribbon I added is called Crochet Trim and is really lovely.  It is much better in person than in the catalog.   I am really getting outside my box, aren’t I?

August 2012 Club Meeting

Last night we had our August Club meeting.  Although it was a small group we had a lot of fun.  The first card they made used Daydream Medallions and Floral Frames Framelits.  The colors were Crumbb Cake, Primrose Petals and So Saffron.  I love this color combination.

The next card I CASEd (Copy and Share Everything) from Joanne Do, a friend of mine who lives in Hawaii.  I never  even though of getting this set until I saw her card.  I did change mine just a little but the overall design is her’s.  It uses By The Seashore and Sweet Essentials stamp sets.  The colors are Always Artichoke, Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, Not Quite Navy and More Mustard.  We spondged the outside of the card using Crumb Cake. 

Thanks Joanne!

 

The last card we made used the Perfectly Perserved stamp set and the Cannery Ser Framelits from the Holiday Mini.  We used the new Argyle Embossing Folder and the Small Oval Punch.  The colors are Real Red, Whisper White and Certainly Celery.  The jar is behind a window sheet.
