A New Flower!

I got a new order delivered yesterday and apparently it was just the thing I needed to carve out some crafting time! Today I managed to get FOUR new cards made!

This new stamp set is a little bit hidden... It's designed to go with a beautiful kit but at the moment, I don't need any more kits, haha. But I really liked the flower and I like the fonts that are included and I hoped it would work just fine without the kit.You'll find it at the bottom of page 8 in the current Annual Catalog. 

I used the latest sketch from the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge as my starting point, altho they didn't all quite follow it. This first one comes the closest - 

Supplies:

Stamps: Gorgeous Posies

Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Pear Pizazz, Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry

Paper: Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White card stock

Accessories: watercolor brush

This second card uses a similar color scheme, but this time it came from the latest TGIF color Challenge. Almost.... I actually meant to use a different card but my final touch was adding the stripes and this time I used the Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends marker, which messed up the *exact color challenge. Other than THAT it's perfect, haha.... The leaves are stamped off with the veins in the first inking of Pear Pizazz. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Gorgeous Posies

Ink: Blushing Bride, Pear Pizazz, Soft Suede, Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends

Paper: Blushing Bride & Whisper White cardstock

And then I kept going with a couple other colors, to use up the full sheet of Whisper White card stock which was trimmed down to be a card front, ha! 

Supplies: 

Stamps: Gorgeous Posies

Ink: Misty Moonlight, Pear Pizazz, Old Olive, Crushed Curry

Do you have a favorite one? Do you prefer the strips with the sketch or the scattered bits of whatever? haha.... Looking forward to playing with more colors soon!
