The Earth Laughs in Flowers

Today was spent experimenting with more 'scrap' designs.  As I shared on Friday, I'm cleaning out my scraps of card stock.  This card uses the rest of my Always Artichoke and River Rock.  The River Rock had all ready been stamped so I added the flowers and sentiment.  I do like the way this one turned out.

Stamp Set(s):  Everything Eleanor, Fabulous Florets; Ink(s):  Cajun Craze, So Saffron, Always Artichoke; Card Stock:  Always Artichoke, River Rock, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Blender Pen, Mini Glue Dots

So, what do you think?  I think 'scraps' can be beautiful, too!

Midnight Muse Flower

Here is the card I designed for last week's Open House.  I wanted to keep it simple due to time constraints so I made all the flowers, cut the butterflies and vases out ahead of time.  I plan to make up an all occasions card set using the remainder of the cutouts but will make the flower just a bit smaller.

Stamp Set:  Fabulous Florets; Ink:  Midnight Muse, Lucky Limeade; Card Stock:  Crumb Cake, Midnight Muse, Naturals White, Bashful Blue, Baja Breeze, Cherry Cobbler; Accessories & Tools:  Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Ornament Punch, 1-3/4" Scallop Circle Punch, shimmer mist

The bottom of the Ornament Punch was trimmed off to make the cute little vase.  I like that our Stampin' Up!® punches can be used in so many ways.
