It's a beautiful new week...our last week of school here and then it's summertime :). There is no doubt this will be our busiest summer yet, so I'm buckling in and hanging on tight! I have a couple more cards for you today, created for Papertrey Ink My first card uses the new Sun & Moon stamp set. It's truly such a beauty!
I immediately envisioned a sunflower after pulling out this lovely set, so I transformed my stamps and dies and created a sunflower of sorts, attached to a seed packet stamped image from the Garden Variety II stamp set. After heat embossing my sunflower images in white, I sponged on ink to create different shades of gold, tan, and brown.
I added a bit of background stamping using the Background Basics: Woodgrain set, and a flower-filled watering can, also from the Garden Variety stamp set.
My last card uses the new Especially You stamp set. It is drop-dead gorgeous and I love creating with it! I combined it with the Ivy & Bloom die, using snippets of it to create movement and touches of delicate detailing.
I watercolored a few of my blooms using my Zig watercolor markers, and added my sentiment.
This is just one of those sets that speaks on its own...it doesn't require much effort to create beautiful things with it.
My Papertrey Ink supplies are all listed for you below. Thanks for stopping!

Both a stunning. The first one is awesome with the flower popping off the side and your second card is so pretty in pastels.

Melissa I just got my Ivy and Bloom die and I'm having trouble getting the paper image free. I ran it thru my big shot 4 times and it still didn't cut thru some areas. Any tips?

There is so much attention to detail in all your cards. When it all comes together, the result is a unique, beautiful creation.
