Grow with Love

Published by Julia Stainton at 11:59 pm under Card Designs, Craft Critique Project

I thought I’d take a little break from Christmas designs and share a floral design I created not too long ago. I love the warmth of the coral flowers paired up with the vanilla and black color scheme. Just what my blog needed…a shot of color. It’s simple to create gorgeous flowers with this Three Step Daisy set by Kitchen Sink Stamps. Love all the various color combos and looks you can come up with. This card is really flexible…just by changing up the sentiment, you can use it for many occasions.

Grow with Love

If this design looks familiar, you may have seen it before. I originally created it for an article/review I wrote for Craft Critique on Kitchen Sink Stamps….I gave them a huge thumbs up. I was really impressed as they have some of the easiest to use polymer stamps I’ve tried.

It’s been a very busy day here. Lots of work to do that I can’t share right now. You’ll have to forgive me…I’m so exhausted tonight…I can’t even remember the patterned paper line! If someone can help a tired girl out…:) Take care my friends! :)

Supply List:

Cardstock: Black, Very Vanilla - Stampin Up

Patterned Paper:

Stamps: Three Step Daisy - Kitchen Sink Stamps

Ink: Groovy Guava, Rose Red, Cameo Coral, Certainly Celery, Old Olive - STampin Up

Other: Crop-a-dile - We R Memory Keepers, heart snap, velvet brad - Making Memories, ribbon (Velvet and green) - May Arts, Flower - Prima
