FS370 ~ Let Friendship Bloom ~

Good morning!  Today's card is for the weekly Featured Stamper challenge at Splitcoast.  The Featured Stamper this week is Mynnette!  She has a wonderful gallery that you can admire HERE.  I chose one of the Floral Sentiment sets from North Coast Creations and went to work.

I stamped the image with Memento's Desert Sand on white card stock and added a rich sentiment with Espresso Truffle.  I die cut the image with a Spellbinder die found in the Office Supplies set and matted it with a distressed brown and vanilla DP.  I added both with dimensional foam to the white CS base and added a deep coffee colored ribbon!  So easy!  I love quick cards that I can add to my stash.  Thanks for reading and stopping by!

And here are my two projects featuring a few new additions to the Floral Sentiments Collection...

I just love lilacs!  This image reminds me of the lilac bush we had at the farm I grew up on.  The original cutting came from my grandparents farm.  Oh, how I wish I had a cutting off of that bush!  I have to settle for one my husband bought a few years ago at a garden center.  He planted it so lovingly in our backyard knowing how much I longed for their scent! 

 

I triple matted the base, a pale lavender, white and dark purple and used Copics to color the image.  A white seam binding bow graces the side. 

 

And here's the image from Floral Sentiments 4...

 

 

Now on to a simpler card using a new stamp from Floral Sentiments 5...

 



This time I used a pale pink card base and matted the DP with black.  I used black ink to stamp my sentiment directly on the DP.  I colored the image in coordinating shades of pink and sponged a light blue sky background before die cutting.  A black satin bow finishes it off.

 

So which version do you like best, frilly or simple?

 

And here's the set used above Floral Sentiments 5...

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!  Now don't forget to visit my fellow "Coasters" to see what projects they have come up with!  Until next time...

 

Blessings...
