Blooming Thoughts


The weekend flew by so quickly! Keeping grand kids on Saturday, cooking/baking for the w/e, church on Sunday...soon there was little time for stamping - lol! I did complete my card for the Fusion challenge this Thursday, but not an extra one to post until this morning. 


I wanted to use the awesome spring colors in the Sunday Stamps challenge, so I went right away to the recently released set called Blooming Thoughts from Ink to Paper.

I had this yellow card base - white embossed with the Vintage
Postage Stamp and layered with a Border Bling: Skinny Postage die - in my leftover pile for quite some time. When I saw the sketch for the new Paper Players challenge, I decided it would fit. The oval is nearly hidden and the center horizontal "band" element is a bit wider than in the sketch, but hopefully the challenge police won't come after me! I love tying the 3 floral sprays together with twine for a quick and easy nosegay!

STAMPS: Blooming Thoughts, Vintage Postage (Ink to Paper).

PAPER: Lemon Tart, White (Ink to Paper).

INK: Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky, Enchanted Evening, Lemon Tart, Bright Buttercup, Summer Sunrise; Versamark.

DIES: Blooming Thoughts, Border Bling: Skinny Postage (Ink to Paper).

OTHER: Altenew Pure White Opaque embossing powder; Twine.

This week finally sounds like we will have some spring-like temperatures! Yay! I am nursing along a number of plants inside the house that belong outside. Maybe I'll get to place them outdoors soon. Have a great Monday everyone!   ~Wanda

    Isn't it just wonderful when your stash yields just the right thing for the card you want to make? It's one of my favorite things, especially if you don't have a lot of spare time, which sounds like your weekend. The layers are gorgeous and perfect to showcase the pretty floral spray! Thanks so much for joining us at Sunday Stamps, wanda, always love seeing you in the gallery!
