Lovely Layers Birthday Card

Hello-

What? 2 posts in one week? I KNOW!!!  I'm taking full advantage of the holiday time off to get crafty and catch up on my blog.

Today's card is a birthday card with a feminine theme. I used Lovely Layers (I LOVE this set!)

I stamped a white panel with the complete design from left to right using Hibiscus Burst ink.  The panel was adhered to a Spring Moss base to coordinate with the other stamped elements.

I stamped the leaf veins on Spring Moss cardstock using Simply Chartreuse ink. Next was a combo of Hibiscus Burst and Pure Poppy, followed by Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise and Canyon Clay.

The inside was stamped with an image from Birthday Tags 2012 in Spring Moss.

Thanks for stopping by!

What? More Lovely Layers?

Once I pull a set out, I like to use it a few different ways before putting it away.  Today was no exception. This time I made a gift tag.

 I REALLY love Hawaiian Shores, Simply Chartreuse and Harvest Gold together :-) So bright and spring like --- my last attempt at holding on to summer. LOL.

Happy Holiday Weekend!

Lovely Layers - CAS

Hello!

I am really loving the Lovely Layers stamp set. So elegant and it really filled a niche in my arsenal.

I paired it with a few sentiments from the new Thanks All Ways set - I already know this will be a great set!

Papertrey August Blog Hop!

Well it certainly has been a LONG time since I have participated in the monthly hop...but I finally found some free time!

This month's inspiration colors really spoke to me, I love neutral, masculine colors. You can see the original inspiration pieces here.

For my card, I chose to focus on the Argyle pattern, and the colors.  I noticed just a hint of orange in the inspiration photos, and chose to bring that in using the little flower center.

I used the new Think Big favorites (from August) and Lovely Layers (love this set!).  I used Ocean Tides, Ripe Avocado, Kraft, Canyon Clay and Dark Chocolate as my colors.

Don't forget about the Team Nicholas fundraiser! See this post for details.

Thanks for hopping by!
