My card today came together so quickly (under 10 minutes). I had an idea in my head of what I wanted to do with the stamps, and it worked out perfectly. First I cut the circle out of lost lagoon and stamped the leafy image from Inspire Hope 4 times around the edges. I then stamped the spiky flower in lost lagoon four times and lightly sponged the edge of this panel with black soot ink.
The sending thoughts & prayers your way sentiment is stamped onto a circle shaped scrap of designer paper, which I also sponged, and then matted black. To make the card base, I start with two scalloped circles die cuts. I then line them with the bottom two scallops touching the vertical length of my scor-pal (this makes sure that the card will stand up properly when you're finished). Then I score near the top on the back circle, apply scor-tape above the score line and stick the two circles together. Easy peasy! I was feeling like the card was too quick, so I decided to add some liquid pearls around the scallops and inner circle. I like the added interest, but it looked great without them, too!
I've got another card using this set with a similar eazy breezy look and color scheme over on the Verve Blog today, so I hope to "see" you over there, too.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Next up on the hop is Stacey!

This set is my fav of this month's release. Mine arrived at our post office in the wee hours of the am today so hopefully it will be waiting for me when I get home. tee hee hee.
I have a friend/co-worker who just applied for family leave to spend time with her husband during his last days. This set will help me make a card for her so she knows she is not alone.
Thanks for sharing.
