I was inspired by the talented Yana Smakula. She is a master of making bold colors backgrounds. I die cut flowers and used them as masks. All backgrounds were created by using HA ink daubers. I found out some colors like pale tomato and tide pool are less streaky than others. I used vellum paper to tone down the colors a bit. All five cards had different white embossed sentiments.

I finally have time to make a card after finishing a big fundraiser for the ministry I work for. I am entering this card in SSS Flickr Challenge 120 and LOVE! April Challenge .

I made my card by covering a piece of cardstock with distress oxide inks, then clear embossing the SSS Damask bg stamp. Next I applied more ink to darken the areas that did not get embossed. The sentiment is from Gina K Design's Autumn Wreath Builder.

Thanks for looking!

I have not played along with a SSS flickr challenge in ages. Since I used the SSS Ornate Ornaments stamp and die set from last year, as well as a sentiment from a now retired SSS set to create this Christmas card I would enter this in the current challenge. I did simple watercoloring with my ZIGs for this one.

Have you ever found a stamp that packs a punch?

I think the centre cut hexagon stamp from Simon is indeed one of those stamps and I can’t wait to try out some other ways to use it.

For the current Flickr challenge, I used the centre of the stamp and coloured it thrice. The thanks frame die fits in perfectly!

Made this Shaker card with the Critter Crowd stamp set from Simon Says. Always fun to make a Shaker !!Adding this to the Simon Says Flickr Challenge and the Love Handmade cards Challenge.
