Peaceful Hearts

The other day I came across this display of flowers - it was sitting outside an office building and I made my daugther take a picture of it {yes, you should have seen the look she gave me!}. I loved the simplicity of it.

That in turn inspired me to take out this never used before retired set from The Angel Company (I guess all sets are now officially retired, eh?). I used a stamp from the Bingo set and Background Soup to give the yellow cardstock some interest. Took a heatgun to my bow and really crinkled it up!



Congrats to my winner, Trudy! Please send me your address and I will get your package in the mail!

New Stamps!

I really like this new catalog from The Angel Company - the UPS brought me my second big box on Monday, and those were just things for me. I'm just saying! :)

One of the new stamps that I immediately had to get was the Bingo set. All along I had planned that this would be the main feature of any card but I also found it made a great subtle background - almost as if it was printed paper.

This week I had a card class at my home featuring the Angelee Soar with it Collection and I made 10 cards using 11 of the tags from the sheet that is included in that paper pack. So this is one of my favorites - it's one of the more simpler ones but that's just me, I guess!

I stamped the Bingo image at an angle in Versamark ink on the purple DP included in the Angelee collection. I then came back and stamped the Watercolor Plants in Lavender palette ink...that's how I got the two varying shades that went together beautifully. The scallop is just a hand drawn border that I cut out but a punch will do nicely too. And how about that flower? Here I've been on a flower making kick for about two weeks but in the end, for this card, I loved the simplicity of just one punched flower, crumpled and inked on the edges, topped with a pearl from the Pearl and Gem collection we carry. {I don't tend to do bling well but I'm loving this collection!}

Well, gotta go. I'm stripping our deck and it's been a long process but I see the end in sight. I hope you have a wonderful weekend...we have just a few weeks left of summer before school starts up. I'm dreading the end of these lazy, carefree days...sigh...
