Rainbow of hope and love

This card was created for my husband.  I utilized the stamp set Over the Rainbow (138770) to make the rainbow and also for the sentiment.  The butterfly comes from the stamp set Grateful Bunch (140691) and the adorable hedgehogs from Love You Lots (141801).  I used real red, pumpkin pie, daffodil delight, cucumber crush, pacific point, island indigo and elegant eggplant ink to make my rainbow and overlapped the images slightly to blend the colors.  The hedgehogs are colored in crumb cake and soft suede inks with an aqua painter.   The butterfly is colored with calypso coral ink.  I love how this card turned out.  The focal image is mounted on a piece of Serene Scenery Designer Series paper which is mounted on early espresso cardstock.

The lady bugs are also from the Love You Lots stamp set and the sentiment on the envelope comes from Over The Rainbow.  I hope you enjoyed looking.  Thanks for stopping by today and taking some time out of your busy schedule to visit my blog.  

Lots of Ladybugs thank you card

I fell in love with the little ladybugs in the new Stampin' Up! 2016-2017 annual catalog.  I saw a card on Pinterest where someone had stamped a lot of ladybugs for a card.  I then came up with this thank you card.  It showcases the Love You Lots stamp set (141801) which is available to anyone placing a workshop or personal order of $150 or more.  The base card is mint macaron with layers of Designer Series Paper from the Blooms & Bliss DSP (141654) .  I embossed the mint macaron card base with the large polka dot embossing folder (133739).  The focal image is stamped on whisper white cardstock (100730) and mounted on sweet sugarplum cardstock (141418).  I used blushing bride (131263), rich razzleberry (131259), sweet sugarplum (141818) and mint macaron (142234) Stampin' Write markers to color in the ladybugs which were stamped repeatedly in Momento tuxedo black ink (132708).  The sentiment is stamped on whisper white and punched using retired oval and scalloped oval punches.  You could use the new layering ovals collection frame lit (141706) to get the same results.
