Zinnia's of Summer

This week's TGIF Challenges Color Challenge matches all of the zinnia's blooming in my garden, which means I just had to use the Simply Zinnia bundle!

The trio of Zinnia's was the perfect way to showcase all three colors of the challenge.  I added a layer of Melon Mambo and Pretty In Pink DSP, which really pop against the Zinna 3D embossed Basic White card front.

This sentiment is one of my all time favorites.  It's just the perfect sentiment to let someone know you are thinking about them.  A little Baker's Twine bow and a few Shiny Sequins were the finishing touches for this sunny summer card.

Happy Stamping!

Pocket Full of Zinnia's

I've got a pocket, a pocket full of Zinnia's...and they are all for this week's TGIF Challenges Technique Challenge!  

Inspired by both this weeks challenge and the seed packets from all of the Zinnia's I just planted, I have a pocket full of cheerful flowers to share with you today!

The Simply Zinnia dies are so, so pretty...especially if you love to build your own bouquet of flowers. I cut three Crushed Curry Zinnia's, along with a couple Petal Pink baby blooms and a few little sprigs of Whisper white mini blooms and tucked them all inside one of the new Pocket Dies pocket.   I went with a slim-line design to accommodate all of the beautiful blooms!

I stamped the single Zinnia Floral image in Crumb Cake on the Crumb Cake pocket, just like my seed packets.  A double loop of white Baker's Twine bundled the blooms together and a sweet little Thank You sentiment finished the card off.  Oh, and I can't forget the Brushed Brass Butterflies!

I can't wait to see how all of you are inspired to use a pocket!

Happy Stamping!
