Happy Labor Day weekend all!  Not to happy for the people in Florida prayers and thoughts are with them and all the people caught up in the horrible weather.  Maybe it will just turn and blow its self out to sea.

My card today has the same design I believe as the one yesterday, guess I am stuck on that design.

My challenges are with Hand Stamped Sentiments. 

And…  Dream Valley Challenges — Buttons or Bows

And… Watercooler Wednesday Challenges — Heidi’s “All Occasions”.  

Three great challenges, I hope to see your post on each one.

My card starts with a Stampin’ Up! Rococo Rose card stock base with mats of Stampin’ Up! Blackberry Bliss card stock and Stampin’ Up! Smoky Slate card stock.  

The art panel is a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock and one of the flower images from the Stampin’ Up! Bloom and Grow Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  A circle is then cropped from the panel using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Shapes Dies.  I realize now that it would have been much easier to color if I had colored and then cut.  

I colored the flowers using Stampin’ Up! Classic Stampin’ Pads in Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Rocco Rose, Smoky Slate and a Stampin’ Up! Blender Pen.  It is amazing the color you can create using a Blender Pen.  The hearts are cropped using Stampin’ Up! Stitched Label Dies.  They are cropped in Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Rococo Rose, Blushing Bride, and Smokey Slate.   A small spot was embossed on the card front under the hearts using one of the dies from the Stitched Label Dies.

The greeting stamped on the circle is from the Stampin’ Up! Strong and Beautiful Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.  Three pearls from the Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels are placed on the circle also.  The bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Strong and Beautiful Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up!  Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.  The flowers are from the Stampin’ Up! Bloom and Grow Stamp Set and are colored using Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils in Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, and Flirty Flamingo to get the color of pink I wanted.  Once again, I used a Blender Pen to smooth the colors.

Thank you for stopping by today.   I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.
