One Last Garden Whimsy

I had to post one last variation on my Garden Whimsy Card.  This one has a whole different color scheme from the previous ones.  I wanted to make a card with a more "earthy" feel using my Whimsy set.  

I used Mellow Moss for the card base.  With my Whimsy Stampin' Around Jumbo Roller and Always Artichoke Jumbo Roller ink, I rolled across the bottom of the card to make a nice accent.  I used a small strip of Always Artichoke across the top of the Whimsy Roll to create a ribbon effect, even thought I had no Artichoke ribbon.  Again, this is another way to use scraps in a creative way and save a little money at the same time!

I stamped the butterfly image on Whisper White using Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink.  Using heat & stick powder and a heat gun, I put some Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the butterfly for a nice "pop."  I then mounted it on a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and put a small piece of Chocolate Chip ribbon behind the image before mounting onto the card front.  I stamped the sentiment with the Pumpkin Pie image as well.

Everyday Card

I wanted to create a card to have on hand for everyday occasions that would be good for men or women.  I always seem to be forgetting to make things in advance and thought I'd help myself out with this one!

 

I used Brilliant Blue CS for the card base.  I used the embossing buddy on the piece of Bashful Blue CS and then Versa Marked the Baroque Motifs stamp onto the front.  Using my heat gun, I set the white embossing powder on the Bashful Blue CS.  I then mounted this onto a silver background accenting the silver brads.  I punched the Brilliant Blue flowers and adhered with silver brads through the Bashful Blue and Silver layer.  (I put the brads through both of these layers so you can't see the brad backs from the front.  lays down much better!)  Then adhere this all to the Brilliant Blue base.  With only decoration and no sentiment on the front, I can just fill in the inside when needed!
