Mixed Bunch

This is a card I created for an Occasions Mini catalogue swap that I participated in.

As soon as I saw the new Blossom punch in the mini catalogue, I knew I had to have it!  I'm such a sucker for punches! And of course, you can't get the punch without the coordinating stamp set, so Mixed Bunch went onto my order as well. 

It may sound silly, but I actually chose my colours based on the In Color designer brads because I have tons of them and I wanted to use them up on my swaps!  So, In Colors it was!  This card has Pool Party, Island Indigo, Pear Pizzazz and Wisteria Wonder.  To finish off the flowers, I added some polka dot designer brads - as previously mentioned - some mini brads and some rhinestone jewels.

The Island Indigo background piece is embossed with the Finial Press embossing folder, and I added some Pear Pizzazz pleated satin ribbon as well.

You wouldn't believe all the gorgeous cards I received in this swap!  My card board is full of new amazing samples to show my customers and club ladies!  I'll try and post a few photos in the next few days.

Blessings to you,

In Color Blossom Bouquet

This is a little something I came up with to showcase all the new In Colors (Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder).  I used the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch to make all the flowers, then layered them on some Sahara Sand that I embossed with the Finial Press embossing folder.  The card base is Whisper White.  I finished off the flowers with some rhinestone jewels.  Quick & simple!

Blessings to you,
