Happy Friday friends! We are headed out shortly to do some shopping and have an early Valentine's Day Lunch at one of our favorite eateries. But before we go, I wanted to create a quick card to share with you that joins in a couple online challenge blogs. Here's what I've created . . .
The challenges I'm playing in are:
Freshly Made Sketch #723 - here's the sketch (2/17) ✓
Tic Tac Toe Challenge #286 - using Florals, Ink Blending & Sentiment Strip (2/28) ✓
I received a few new embossing folders from Simon Says yesterday and just couldn't wait to create something with one of them so I went with the SS (SF470) Blossom Bursts folder. This is a 3D folder so after embossing my white panel, I used the residual ink left in some of my small sponge daubers and did my ink blending for the background panel.
The lower panel is a designer paper sheet from the Paper Rose 'Dear Isabella Patterns' 6x6 pack. It's 2-sided so I've used both the polka dot & floral panels. I've added a few extras that were 'laying around' ... the Elizabeth Craft Ivy Vine and Heartfelt Creations flower plus one of the sentiments from my 'premade and ready to use' the TON stamp/die sentiments.
Okay ... hubby is chompin' at the bit to get going so I'd better get movin' LOL.
Have a great day & thanks so much for stopping by!
As Always . . .
Love the ink blending on your beautiful card, Darlene! The embossing folder is so pretty with variety of florals. Hope you had a great lunch date.
ReplyDeletepretty inking of the flowers on the embossing, pretty flower to go with the sentiment too and pretty papers!
ReplyDeleteWowie, love all the color! What a great combination of two of my favorite things -- embossing and designer paper. SSS has some of the best embossing folders. In fact, I ordered three new-to-me EFs from them yesterday. I've been so good this year and then yesterday I splurged. Darlene, thank you for all the love you left on my blog yesterday. I hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day!
