Stamp Off Hand Penned Petals in Blends

 Welcome back for our Stamp Off Challenge.  Today, Susan, Buffy

and I are highlighting the Stampin' Blends, 

found on pages 122-3.

For my project, I used the Stampin' Blends in 3 different ways;

to color an image, to create a faux "DSP" strip and to 

color enamel shapes.

I stamped the flowers from Hand Penned Petals with Soft Suede

ink, and then colored them with Soft Sea Foam, So Saffron, 

Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends.  

I used the Penned Flowers Dies to cut out

the flowers and the edge of the faux DSP strip.

I cut out the sentiment from Quiet Meadow with a

Tailor Made Tags die (page 166).  I finished the card off

with some gold cord and enamel hearts colored with Blends.

Please check out the wonderful projects created by

Buffy and Susan!!  Thank for stopping by on this 

Thanksgiving week, when we have so many blessings 

in our lives.

Quiet Meadow Bundle

The Quiet Meadows Stamp set (page 110), with

coordinating Meadow dies offers tons of options for 

layering.  This is a really quick card, that makes

use of this bundle and DSP.

I hope that you and yours have a wonderful

Thanksgiving holiday!

Nuts about Squirrels

 The squirrels are still having a good ole time in my yard,

so I had to post another Nuts About Squirrels (Mini page 49)

card.  This set is just so darn easy to use.  The font is very forgiving,

so that you don't have to be too concerned about your

sentiment going wonkyjammer.   I used DSP, and

stamped some leaves on it, to add to the squirrel feel of

this project.  A strip of In Good Taste DSP wood completed

the feel.
