Brushed Beauty take 2.....

The Designer paper colors listed showed Lost Lagoon and there it is in the leaves of this pattern.  Very Subtle until you add the card base and it POPS!  I also used some of the NEW Gingham paper to accent.  A scrap of ribbon in a scrap pile.  Such a Happy card!

Same Paper Patterns on a Calypso Coral card base.  I flipped the Gingham to the smaller check and another ribbon scrap.  

Back to Lost Lagoon and the reverse side as an accent with another Pattern from Brushed Beauty.  This card gives me Monet vibes!

Petal Pink card base with the same paper, this is such a versatile pack of paper!  And finally another back side of this Petal Pink brushed design on Calypso Coral.  I used a row from the Gingham to anchor the sentiment.   Sweet Words and Labels Dies and the Flowers from the Paper Pumpkin add on are used on these cards, just like yesterday!

Brushed with Beauty

 Another Beautiful Designer paper ON SALE is Brushed with Beauty.  167082  ON SALE for $10.63 while supplies last thru August 31st.  I was iffy on this paper until I cut into it and started to pair with matching cardstock.  This paper leans very Feminine but add some Mossy Meadow and a Masculine card is made.  First up same paper pattern with Mossy Meadow or Petal Pink!  This paper had a Vintage Vibe and Very Vanilla for the base color.

I used the Friendly Foliage Dies to cut the leaves.  These Dies are on the Last chance list!  167023  $16.80,  The Stamp set is sold out.  SAD face, but the Dies really make a nice focal point on a card.  

And the Petal Pink!  Same Designer paper pattern and 2 different looks!  I used the Sweet Words and Labels Bundle for the Sentiment Frame.  167628  $52.00  LOVE these Dies!  The Sentiments are designed to pair with the Winnie the Pooh Suite of products.  These Dies also will cut out images in the Silly Old Bear 12X12 paper 167616  $13.00.

Another Die from the Sweet Words and Labels Bundle on the next 2 cards.  I had to do Tear and Turn so you could see 4 more paper patterns.  This Darling Duckling and Petal Pink could even be a Baby Card!  I added some Retired Petal Pink ribbon and Flowers cut with a Paper Pumpkin Add on Die.  Detailed Flora 168664  $13.00.  You must be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to purchase these add on Dies. 

This is my FAVORITE paper pattern.  I struggles with choosing a card base from the below colors.  The stripes look Crumb Cake, but Crumb Cake is not listed and DID NOT compliment!  My mind kept saying Tip Top Taupe a long Retired IN color and I think its a perfect match!  Petal Pink strip of Cardstock and a Sprinkle of Flowers.  More cards are in the works and will be on the Card Rack at Independence Uptown Market Saturday 8am-1pm.

Valley in Bloom

 More cards heading to the racks this Saturday at the Independence Uptown Market!  I had these card bases prepped and finally colored and cut some Flowers!  I have lots of Lily of the Valley in my flower bed.  My Mother and Grand Mother loved these little stems with the sweet scent!  Stampin' Up really did a great job of capturing the Beauty of this Garden favorite.

I used Retired Soft Seafoam for a card base with accents of Granny Apple Green.  Simple Fun fold and a TAG from the Last Chance list make an adorable card.

A Garden Green card base and another TAG.  Love this Gold edging on these tags.  Lily of the Valley colored with Blends.  Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green.

Soft Seafoam card base and a Couple Butterflies for the card above.  

And I finally used the Dies to cut out the flowers on the card below.  The Lily of the Valley Bundle and Valley in Bloom Designer paper is a great addition to the craft room!  A Touch of Gold Tags are still available!!  $4.25 Last Chance.....
