Soft, muted sunflowers today on my card using SimonSaysStamps Sunflower Fields stamp, stencil and die set. I picked this large set up on a clearance from SSS and used it a few times and will probably use it a few more times. Sentiment from the same SSS stamp set.

Debossed with SimonSaysStamp Fall Foilage embossing folder, Taylored Expressions A2 Thin Frame cutting plate, Gina K Designs sentiment die and Picket Fence Studio’s Lavender frame die for my card today. I blended inks in random places and debossed it with the embossing folder…..well that was the plan and I had to make a second attempt. After debossing, swiped black ink over the background for the finished look.

And some days that’s exactly how I go through my days. My card today is for a challenge theme of Anything Goes Clean and Simple and Off Center. That works!! Masking off a higher than center portion of my cardstock and ink blended some “blues” for the background landing of the My Hero Arts August 2017 kit silhouette. I really love the simplicity of silhouette images. And I am very proud of myself that with all the ink blending and stamping with VersaFine onyx black pigment ink, there is not one ink smudge!! It feels good to be a little off center!

Today’s card uses Catherine Pooler’s Stamp of Approval GeoBuilders stamp set that has finally been inked. The larger triangle was stamped in Taylored Expressions Peaches n Cream, Mango and Pear inks then the smaller inside triangle was added and stamped in same colors all were fussy cut and adhered to the focal panel. TE’s Branch Out die and a previously stamped and die cut sentiment were added to the card as well as Liquid Pearls to complete this card today which will be shared with:
Double D Challenges: SHAPES The challenge lists squares, rectangles, circles and ovals so hopefully my “triangles” shapes will be accepted. I always play with the theme but……LOL.

Trying to keep the focus on my bold Gina K Designs die cut sentiment with vellum shadow with a sub sentiment from a Taylored Expressions stamp set that was in my ready to go sentiments. Background was embossed with SimonSaysStamp’s Floral Field embossing folder on GKD Sweet Corn cardstock. Frame is also TE and embellishments from my stash.

Stepping out of my comfort zone with this card and a Vintage and/or Shabby Chic challlenge at the As You Can See It Challenge Blog. The background patterned paper was included in a goodie bag from Unity Stamps on a recent purchase. I added a variety of stamps from Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Collection Stampers Anonymous stamp set Nature’s Elements. I added a brown ribbon for good measure and just needed a pop of color with my purple butterfly. I really liked the sentiment and know just which one of my friends I can send this card to.

The beautiful fields of sunflowers may be over this summer but their beauty is etched in my mind. For my card today, I used the TCW Sunflower Meadow stencil and a few clouds from Pretty Pink Posh stencil to recreate those sunflower fields. Sentiment from a Gina K Designs All Occasion Flowers stamp and die set.
