Wood grain Card

Hi! Today, I have a masculine and simple card made for our good friend who currently is sick. I wanted to keep this simple and elegant.

The sentiments of course are from Simon Says Stamp, coordinated with some Kraft paper and gold sequins. Some pretty pink posh droplets added contrast to the card. 

I am entering this card to the following challenges:

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge

Sparkle and Shine # 29

Little Tangles: #68 Anything Goes

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #9 

BFF Thanks

Hi there! Thanks so much for stopping by. Today I have a card with lots of goodies made for a friend who gift ME a Simon says gift card! So, of course I just had to make her a card with the new goodies courtesy of her.

The flowers were heat embossed in gold, then watercolored. The back ground paper is from MME On Trend 2. The "thanks" die is actually from craftin' desert divas, then I heat embossed in the same gold tone as the flowers. Finished the card off by adding gold sequins!

I think the longest part of making this card was to cut the flowers!

I am entering into the following challenges:

Chalk Ink Inspiration with Crystal

Hello! Crystal here to host the blog. First, thank you for joining us today for some card inspiration featuring Quick Quotes Chalking Inks. This card was made by stamping lots of gorgeous chalking inks. Let's get started!

First select your "main" color chalking ink. Here I am using Caribbean Blue as my main color and selecting my coordinating card stock.

Then proceed to stamp your shape in different colors.Make sure you allow time to dry between colors/stamping.  Add your sentiment.

I wanted to add wood shapes, so I simply stained them using the chalking inks. Voila! It's done.
