Beautiful Friendship

The Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set! is gorgeous and one of my favorites!!! I love that you can create a professional watercolor look with the beautiful images! When the stamp set does not include a coordinating designer series paper, you create your own as I did on the background and flap of the envelope. This was done by stamping the large floral image with Shaded Spruce Ink on Basic White Cardstock and the… Read More »

Berry Blessings, Royalty Challenge Day #11

Day#11 of the Royalty Challenge. I’m using the Berry Blessings Bundle from the Sale-a-bration Brochure. It’s a Level 2 product so that means you need to spend at least $100 to get this bundle. Since there are beautiful realistic images in the Berry Delight Designer Series Paper, I decided to cut out the images instead of stamping the images. The background (Basic White Card Stock) was spritzed with Pacific Point… Read More »

Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper, Royalty Challenge Day #7

This is Day #7 of the Royalty Challenge for our team. For today’s card I decided to go a little fancy! I’ve been cleaning out my craft room and came across the long ago retired Embellishment Artisan Kit. I was going to donate it since I tried selling it a couple of years ago for $10.00 and it didn’t sell. I see it’s listed on the interest for $20.00 but… Read More »
