I'm having SO much fun with the new Irresistibly Floral specialty papers! I have to share the three card designs I made with it this week.You can use ANY ink color on the paper (so handy!) but for all three of these samples I used Blushing Bride, a warm, subdued pink.
This first one was the project for our demonstrator gathering last night. Pretty, huh? I paired it with Smoky Slate twine and cardstock, and Basic Gray cardstock. The dies are from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlets.
Underneath that Stitched Shapes Framelits circle (great news! The super-popular Stitched Shapes are now back in stock!) there is a secret... I punched out a slightly smaller circle and used it on another card! Great bargain-hunter's tip.
This thank-you card has a fun and super-easy layout of descending circles. This time I used Tip Top Taupe to color the Irresistibly Floral papers. Love the way taupe looks with this gorgeous antique pink.
Last of all, I made a bunch of these wedding/engagement cards, below, that can also be anniversary cards. I used this Ombre Resist technique tutorial from last week to get the Blushing Bride ink on just half of the paper, then did circles again, but in a slightly different arrangement. Circles are SO versatile, aren't they?
Leave me a comment or question about a product and I'll try to feature it, just for you! I'm happy to answer any questions, stamping or otherwise, and I love to hear from my followers. [email protected]
Looking forward to hearing from YOU soon!
Blushing bride has to be the loveliest pink. I love your cards!

Less these are all adorable. I like the way you intermixed stamp sets and thinlits etc. Very nice and delicious colors.

What gorgeous cards Lyssa! I love how that beautiful flower from Flourishing Phrases looks inside the stitched circle diecut - it's almost like a fancy boutique sticker. I love how the color scheme ties the cards together but they each have their own personality. Thanks for sharing!!
