Hello Gorgeous-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

 

Hello! This month Deb and I have chosen this beautiful color palette as our inspiration. My granddaughter is obsessed with sunflowers, so I have several sunflower stamp sets and thought I would use one as my starting point. I stamped the sunflowers and leaves from the Recollections Sunflowers stamp set onto white Copic-friendly cardstock and colored them using my markers. I fussy cut them out and arranged them in a line using adhesive. I stamped the Sketchy Line background stamp by Simon Says Stamp using light blue ink onto a white panel. I adhered a paint chip I had picked up at my local hardware store to the bottom of that panel at an angle. I then adhered some gold glitter washi by American Crafts and my sunflowers above it to create a border. I die cut the entire panel using a stitched rectangle die by Paper Rose. I backed the panel with some early dark brown cardstock from my stash and adhered the panel to my white A2 card base. I stamped the sentiment from Honey Bee's Sweet Sunflower stamp set at the bottom using Versamark ink and embossed it using Ranger's detail white embossing powder. I finished by card off my adding some gorgeous coppery sequins from Pawsome Stamps. For my coffee, I chose a delicious pumpkin cold brew from our local Ziggi's coffee shop. Be sure to stop by Deb's blog and see how she was inspired by this month's color challenge. Thank you for stopping by my blog today!

Handpicked For You

 

Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog today. I am guest designing for the latest Color Throwdown card challenge. For my card I started by layering some olive green cardstock onto my white A2 card base. I then layered some olive green gingham patterned paper from Paper Studios on top. I die cut a scalloped edge rectangle panel using a Gina Marie Designs die, and stamped the sentiment from Stampendous True Friens on the lower right corner using Versafine onyx black ink. I then stamped the sunflower image and some leaves from Honey Bee Stamp's Sweet Sunflowers stamp set using Memento tuxedo black ink and some white Copic-friendly cardstock. I colored the images using greens, oranges, and browns from my alcohol markers. I then fussy cut the images out and mounted them onto the card panel to frame the sentiment. I popped the whole panel up off of the card using 3M foam tape. My granddaughter absolutely loves sunflowers, so I suspect this will go to her for her upcoming birthday in September.
