The card I created this week is CASED from a card featured on page 98 of the new Annual Catalog using the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge colors of – Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party and Bumblebee. Not only does the Annual Catalog feature wonderful products but also a variety of projects showing how the stamps, dies and embellishments may be used.
For the background I embossed a Whisper White layer with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder then sponged Bumblebee ink. I also die cut two strips of Whisper White with the scallop die. I stamped the outline of the flower full strength then stamped stamped off for stamping the inside of the flower. The sentiment is also from the stamp set and stamped in Flirty Flamingo and die cut with coordinating die.
The leaves I stamped in Momento black then die cut them with the die. The one leaf on the left is stamped then fussy cut. For embellishments I used the Gold Gilded Gems and Gold Fine Art ribbon.

Flowing Flowers Birthday Card
Lately I’ve been using my sponge brushes to practice using them. I found a technique from Patty Bennett of using the sponge brushes on stamps to create a blending of colors. I CASED her card using the stamp set Flowing flowers since I had not had an opportunity to use it. I was also inspired by the colors of the inspiration challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments.

Easter Bunny in Bloom
This week I was inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge of Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point and Tina Wardell’s card. She used the masking technique to create a cute bunny card. I used the same technique and Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge colors and CASED her card.

Butterfly Brilliance Birthday
My card this week I was inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge. The sketch inspired me to create with the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and Painted Labels dies. I die cut the butterflies out of Shimmery White paper, stamped them with Memento Black then colored the butterflies with Light Highland Heather, Light Balmy Blue, and Light Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends. The Night of Navy layer was embossed with the Greenery Embossing Folder. I stamped the flowers with Old Navy from the Painted Poppies stamp set.
