The My Sweet Petunia Design Team is having fun creating with two of our dear friends ... Gina K. Designs and Picket Fence Studios. Each company will be giving away a $50 gift certificate to one lucky blog commenter from all of the participant blogs.
I love Gina K.'s cardstock ... the colors are so vibrant and the card stock is the perfect sturdy weight. I decided to stamp on three different colors of half sheets using the new Elegant Asters Stamp Set ... I thought it would be fun to have stamping on both the front and back of my folded card. I used my Memory MISTI, so I could easily stamp off all the edges.
The first card used Gina K. Designs Sweet Mango Cardstock and the three flowers in the set. I wanted a tone-on-tone look for each card, so I worked with a monochromatic design.
The Memory MISTI allowed me to stamp all three flowers at once, clean them with my Gina K. Designs Tidy Towel (love that thing) and then stamp again.
After filling my cardstock, I folded it in half and made my first card. I stamped the large flower and two sets of leaves on Gina K. Designs Sea Glass cardstock and cut them out with the coordinating Dies.
I added some Eyelet Outlet Bling in the center of my bloom and some enamel dots before finishing with a sentiment from Picket Fence Studios Going to Be Okay. I just love how her cardstock colors work together.
Next I decided to stamp with only the leaves in the set on Sea Glass Cardstock.
Aren't those leaves just beautiful.
Again I covered the entire half sheet and folded it to make my card.
I used more die cut leaves together with the Gina K. Designs Wishes Word Die cut from fun foam. The sentiment is Picket Fence Studios Ways to Say Congrats paired with the tiny BEST Stamp from Gina. K. Designs Mini Wishes Stamp Set. Love how it all works so well together.
For my final card, I combined the flowers and the leaves, which allowed me to stamp them all together using my Memory MISTI very quickly. This time I used the yummy Jelly Bean Green Cardstock from Gina. K. Designs.
Stamping so many images at a time, my half sheet was filled in no time at all.
Next I stamped the butterfly from the Gina K. Designs Elegant Asters Stamp Set twice on Sea Glass Cardstock and die cut them. Then I added some adhesive pearls.
I used more of my Fun Foam with the Gina. K. Designs Hello Word Die and perched my butterflies on several of the flowers ... this card just makes me happy.
I hope you had fun on my creative journey today ... if you don't have any of this yummy cardstock, you should really consider adding some to your stash.
Now it's time to HOP ... remember, three $50 gift certificates up for grabs chosen from commenters on the participant blogs.
