Amazing Thanks

The latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge features a beautiful combination of Barely Blush, Golden Glow, and Lost Lagoon, and I couldn't resist pairing those soft, cheerful colors with the adorable Capturing Smiles bundle!

For this card, I let the vintage-inspired camera take center stage and surrounded it with layered florals created using the Heirloom Boutique Dies. The soft Barely Blush flowers, vibrant Golden Glow accents, and calming Lost Lagoon foliage create a fresh, happy color palette that's perfect for sending a heartfelt thank you.

To finish the design, I added sentiment afrom the You're the Best stamp set. The combination of "Thanks" and "You Are Amazing" makes this card perfect for showing appreciation to someone special.

I hope this project inspires you to give this gorgeous color combination a try! Be sure to visit the rest of the Hand Stamped Sentiments Design Team for even more inspiration, and we'd love to see what you create for the challenge.

Artisan Sketched Garden of Thoughtfulness

Welcome! I'm so happy you're here for the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge!

The black-and-white stripes and polkadots in the inspiration photo immediately caught my eye, and I knew the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper would be the perfect starting point. I paired the bold black-and-white patterns with vibrant floral images for just the right pops of color.

The flowers were colored with Stampin' Blends in Strawberry Slush, Bubble Bath, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Granny Apple Green, creating a bright focal point against the monochromatic background. To add a little elegance and shine, I layered the arrangement over a Spotlight on Nature Gold Foil die-cut circle and finished the card with a few Flower Accents Embellishments.

I love how the combination of bold patterns, cheerful florals, and touches of gold brings this inspiration challenge to life!  The Fabulous Sayings stamp set provided the perfect sentiment to let someone know you are thinking of them! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the rest of the Hand Stamped Sentiments Design Team projects, and I hope you'll join us for this fun inspiration challenge. Happy stamping! 💕
