Thanks for joining me here at the Blog Hop today.  I am happy to be sharing a card using one my my favorite flower stamp sets.  I made it for my friend Breelin, she was feeling a little under the weather and I thought this might cheer her up!

 

I love this set is because its simple but pretty when colored.  One of the elements I enjoy making for a card is a banner, but like for most people, they can be tricky to make.  trying to get the two points even can well...be a pain in the you know where!?!  I am in "love" with the new banner framelit set.  It makes for a quick and perfect banner cut out.   I used it to cut out the white layer that I stamped with one of my favorite flower sets right now, Peaceful Petals  (which is colored with my blender pen/crisp cantaloupe ink) and the layer in champagne glitter paper.  I also added the same glitter paper as an accent with the sentiment.  I couldn't stop there, with the gold.  I cut a small piece of the new gold sequin trim and tied it on with a piece of the new crisp cantaloupe twine from the Sweet Sorbet accessory pack.  This is part of a special pack that you can earn for FREE when you place a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration, Jan. 28 thru March 31, 2014.

 

Along with the outside, I pulled off a few of the sequins and scattered them around and attached them with glue dots.  I also added two banners to decorate the inside, cut a piece of the crisp cantaloupe ruffled ribbon and Wa-La...my card is complete!

Glitz and Glimmer Watercolor with PP182

Welcome to Ink a Doodle Creations and thanks for stopping by!  Today has been a fun filled day of crafts.  I started out the day with shoveling some snow so I could get out the door.  Myself and the boys created a pretty cool sledding path down the hill in our yard.  We had a blast out in the snow!  Hope our track stays in tact so we can do it all again tomorrow!

After my toes, fingers, tooch and face were so called I really couldn't feel them anymore, I decided it was time to come in, eat some warm chicken noodle soup, grab a cup of coffee and head to my room to get my craft on!  And that I did!!  My first up card to create was a Birthday card and knew I wanted to play around with the great colors from over at The Paper Players.   Head on over to their blog and check out the details to join in the fun with this great color challenge!

 

One of my favorite stamp sets right now is the Happy Watercolor.  It is so each to stamp with for easy coloring and fun to fussy cut and layer the petals with.  I also am in love with the card created using the scalloped tag punch, that I've been seeing around.  I think what I love most about this card is the how the gold sequin trim and gold glitter paper brings it all together!
