This month’s theme is “All About Flowers.” Flowers are beautiful, and one of the most popular images on greeting cards for all occasions.
This was a perfect opportunity for me to use the Petal Palette Stamp Set from the new Occasions 2018 Catalog. It’s so much fun coloring flowers with the new alcohol, Stampin’ Blends, so I couldn’t wait to get started.
Here is my finished project:
I began with a Crumb Cake card base, layered with Old Olive, and a top layer of Sahara Sand cardstock. The design from this week’s CAS(E) this sketch was exactly what I had in mind.
I stamped two corner flowers from Petal Palette in Crumb Cake Ink on Crumb Cake cardstock. Five Stampin’ Blends were used: Light and Dark Old Olive and Light and Dark Calypso Coral to color the leaves and flowers, and a little Color Lifter. The flowers were easily cut with a die from the Petals and More set.
I stamped the sentiment, “Comfort and Healing To You…” (Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set) in the middle, and placed the flowers in the corners, popped up on dimensionals.
I completed the sentiment with these words stamped inside, “Praying that your heart will be lifted by the many loving thoughts that surround you today.”
At the last minute, I remembered I had the new Epoxy Shapes for perfect, little tears. I didn’t realize until seeing the photos, I had them upside down. Oops!
Thank you for visiting my blog!
Beautiful cards.

Thanks so much Denita! I appreciate your kind words.
Be still my heart… the epoxy shapes are the perfect finisher on your card. Beautiful, my friend!
Thank you, Debi! You are so sweet!
thanks for your nice comment on my CTS card – and your card is lovely – must say sometimes SU cards all look the same to me, but yours are truly unique (browsed thru your blog) – and went over to FB and voted for you.
What a nice compliment, Betty! And, I really appreciate your vote. Hugs!
