This is the month I LOOOOVE! September, beautiful, miraculous, Indian Summer, September :). The desert finally starts cooling, the evening shadows get long and turn the landscape colors of lavender...and my baby girl came into our lives in September, so hey...this month is special!
The Papertrey Ink Sr. Team have been challenged to revisit the beautiful, Flower Favorites stamp set. This set is one I don't ever put away. I love the sentiments and the gorgeous florals. My first project uses watercolor cardstock, and the watercolor technique as I blended shades of Spring Rain, Winter Wisteria, and Lavender Moon together to create my lupine.
I started with the Basic Bookmark 3 die, added my stamping and blending with water, and then embossed my sentiment on a strip of vellum, which I then attached across the front of my tag.
I couldn't put my shades of purple away, and created another card using Flower Favorites with shades of Lavender Moon, Sweet Blush, Autumn Rose, Winter Wisteria, and Aqua Mist.
I die cut the flowers several times, stamping each in different color combinations, and then arranged them on m card after adhering a strip of Chicken Scratch Gingham.
My sentiment comes from the Topiary Trio stamp set and was stamped on a Double Ended Banners die.
And since we're revisiting this set, I thought I'd revisit one of my first projects created with this lovely set.
Color mixing is just so much fun with this two-step stamp set...super playful and creative.
The other Papertrey Ink Sr. Team designers have projects to share with you today as well:
These are all so beautiful, Melis. Love each and every one.

Now I know why you were saying you were in a purple mood. That second card makes my heart sing. I could never even imagine imagining all that you manage to imagine.
