Greeting Bouquet ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card and Live Stamp Off

I'm finally back to sharing some of my cards again.  The photo editor that I've been using died and I had to research to find a program that both edited and organized my pics.  I think I finally found one that I'm happy with and it isn't too expensive...whew.  That took longer than I thought it would!

Greetings Bouquet ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card was inspired by sketch #327 for Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday.  They have great sketches over there if you need a little help to get creative every now and then!  After I looked at the sketch I noticed that I had a couple of "scrap" pieces of pierced watercolor paper sitting on my desk and figured they went with the sketch so I might as well put them to good use!  

I stamped the flowers with FSJ Clear Pigment Ink and embossed it with white.  Next I used a couple of Journey Splashes to do a watercolor wash in the background.  Usually when I do the emboss resist technique I'm sponging ink onto my card stock, but this time I did a watercolor wash.

Make sure you head over to Try Stampin's blog HERE to see what all the other designers created.  We'd love to see what you create with this sketch if you get a chance to play along. :)

Dahlia Burst ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today I have a lovely card to share with you that I created for my nephew (and of course his new bride) on their wedding day.  I had no idea what their colors were so I went with a blue dahlia.  I wanted it to be pretty, but not a bright pink or something.  You know what I mean, right? :)

I stamped the dahlia five times and cut parts of it out starting with the very middle budding area and kept doing the same thing keeping more of the petals each time until I had the full flower.  I colored each of the layers using Journey Color Burst Pencils...I LOVE using them!  They show beautiful and vibrant colors!  I also used the Heart Film Die Set for the heart.  I believe this will be out in the new Inspiration catalog this summer.  I received it at Leadership in January and this is the first time I used it.  Glad I was digging through my dies and saw this one. I had forgotten about, but an idea popped into my head and I finally knew how I was going to finish the card. :)

Greeting Bouquet ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Hey Everyone...I haven't posted for a bit, but I've still been busy creating cards. :)  This past Saturday I met with a group of ladies at my upline's house and we did the first RG Presents...Spring into Summer together and it was a BLAST!  I couldn't believe how fast the day went!  There is another RG Presents coming up on May and I hope more of you will join me this time!  I'll be posting info in the next couple of days.  Now onto today's card...

This card was inspired by this week's Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday sketch challenge #315.  This was a really fun sketch to work with.  I changed it up just a bit again...when don't I?! lol  This is such a soft and pretty card.  It's very easy to create, but you do have to have a little patience because the flowers are fussy cut.

This is the sketch I worked with.  Make sure you check out all of the other ladies beautiful cards over at Try Stampin' HERE.  We'd love to see what you have to create!

Greeting Bouquet ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card is the card I made for all of my ladies who ordered from me in October and November.  I love how this card turned out, so I hope they all liked their cards too. :)

Just a quick picture of a stash of them. :)

This card wasn't too hard to make at all...except fussy cutting the embossed flowers out.  That wasn't hard to do it just took a little bit of time, but it was worth it! :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
