I really wanted to use the Hope and Kindness bundle because it is going going gone by 30th June. Its such a beautiful pack and I just love it so much. I will be sad when its gone. 

So I pulled out my Hope & Kindness Stamp + Thin Cuts from the above bundle. 

Its so pretty. I cut two lots of each of the flowers in White Daisy Cardstock and stamped with Intense Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. Then I cut the Capri Cardstock using the lovely Postage Frames Thin Cuts in the larger two sizes. I adhered the Capri dark side frame and light side of the inside onto the card base (White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack).

Then I pulled out my Candied Apple Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad and splotched down some ink onto my All-purpose Mat. I used my Medium Round Waterbrush to add water to the ink in varying amounts. The more water I added the lighter the colour got. I had 3 tones... and coloured the flowers in the mid-tone, the leaves in the lightest colour and the almost straight ink in the berries and heart etc. 

After I had painted all the flowers I wanted to, I still had ink on my mat so I grabbed the word heart cut out and smooshed the ink onto the letters. I didn't end up using for this card but its ready for the next one. 

I cut a white bit of cardstock and stamped Thinking of you from For All Occasions which is on SALE this month for Stamptacular. I have used this ALL year!! Grab it now before it disappears. 

I adhered the flowers in a cluster at the bottom and added the thinking of you postage stamp on the top left angled. Finished off with the heart and Gold Glitter Gems.

Colour Dare #500 Tic-Tac-Toe

 Our Colour Dare Challenge for #500 (WHAT A MILESTONE!!! FIVE HUNDRED!!!) is a Tic-Tac-Toe = Black, White, Gold are Free to use. When you are creating for more than one challenge please make sure your project meets our requirement. Most importantly - have fun!  Go to the link for Colour Dare #500 and add your entry.

I love these colours and I pulled out the cardstock = Wisteria Cardstock, Toffee Cardstock and Evergreen Cardstock. I really wanted to use the Fancy Doilies Thin Cuts that I got in my Hope & Kindness Product Bundle. I LOVE this Doilies thin cut so much so I wanted to create with that. 

I cut the largest Doily in the Toffee cardstock and the small Doily in Wisteria. I pulled out my Mocha Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad to stamp the Title Celebrate from the For All Occasions stamp set. For All Occasions is part of the Stamptacular sale so its reduced. Its a great set for all your card sentiments. 

I stamped the Celebrate on White Daisy cardstock and backed it with Evergreen Cardstock. 

I also used the Mocha ink to sponge around the edge of the small wisteria doily and edge the evergreen cardstock and white daisy of the sentiment. 

I adhered only the centre with Air Touch Adhesive and had to trim down the large doily and a bit of the small doiley so I used Dual-tip Permanent Glue Pen on the edges of the card under doilies. I used 3D Foam tape under the celebrate already-matted title. 

I left the edges of the doily to curl up so it created some dimension. I left a little overlap on the top part of the doily but I checked to ensure it would still fit inside the envelope. 

I finished the card with Gold Glitter Gems.
