THINKING OF YOU

Guess what day it is??  Yep, Hump Day lol!!! If I had a camel stamp, I would have used it today *wink* but I don't so flowers will have to do.  I am excited to share a new set with you today from the Occasions Mini that went live this week. I love, love, love this stamp set - it's called Peaceful Petals and it is beautiful!!! I love how pretty all the images are in this set, there are endless possbilities here......in fact, if you are interested in my upcoming Stamps in the Mail Club, this is one of the featured sets!! This is not one of the projects though, they stay exclusive to my club members. Drop me a line if  you are interested - we are doing sign-ups now! So, on to the card!! The base is Pear Pizazz card stock and I stamped the background using the Pear Pizazz classic ink. I then used some Afternoon Picnic Designer Series paper and trimmed it into a banner, then added two different strips of our new Watercolor Wonder Washi tape that is available in the new Occasions Mini. I have become addicted to Washi tape, although when it first came out I was not sure quite what to do with it lol! Now, I use it all the time :-) The image itself is popped up on dimensionals on So Saffron card stock, which I stamped with leaves in the same color. I also added a strip of Early Espresso card stock that I punched using the scallop edge border punch. I stamped that purdy flower in Versamark and  heat embossed it with my embossing gun using Pewter embossing powder and then I watecolored it with three colors:  Early Espresso, So Saffron, and Pear Pizzazz. It's so easy to watercolor using the aqua painter and it turns out beautifully! I did the same with the leaves except the colors of ink pads I used were Pear Pizzazz and Wild Wasabi to give them some contrast. The sentiment is stamped on Very Vanilla card stock in Early Espresso Ink, then embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and my Big Shot. I made it into a small banner and popped it up on a dimensional as well. This was a fun card to make with lots of layers, and it will be in the mail today to someone special who needs a pick me up! If you are interested in any of the items you see here, you can purchase them in my online store, or email me and I can take your order. Now I am off to work on some fabulous projects for my club members so that I can inspire and excite them lol!! Smooches to you all, you make my day each and every day!! XOXOXOXO
