Soft & Pretty

Did you enjoy the nice long weekend? I sure did! The weather was great and we had a huge party on Monday with all our friends. Back to work today! Boo hoo!

I am so inspired to create soft & pretty looking cards with the Stampin' Up! Thoughts & Prayers set. You've seen my other creations with this set, and pink always seems to sneak in there. Hee hee!

I used Stampin' Up! Green Galore, Regal Rose, and Apricot Appeal for my color combination. I took my picture taking to the outdoors so it may be hard to see the background, but I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. Then I simply stamped the saying in Regal Rose ink on Whisper White cardstock and matted it on Apricot Appeal cardstock for my centerpiece.

The leaf/flowers cascade stamp was inked using brush end of Stampin' Write Markers in Green Galore, Regal Rose, and Apricot Appeal. Just brush/color on the rubber stamp where you want each color to be and stamp it onto your cardstock. I cut this piece completely out using Stampin' Up! Paper Snips to get into those tiny areas and then glued the piece along the edge of my sentiment.

These Stampin' Write Markers are a must have! I have owned my set since way before I was a demonstrator and never had to replace one yet. One end is a fine point and the other a flexible brush. If you ever want to purchase a set from me, I will sell them to you at 20% off at any time. Just mention this blog post. They are such a great tool, I want you to have them at my cost.
