Hope you've enjoyed the terrific collaboration between Stampendous products and Core'dinations' gorgeous papers! We have been thrilled to bring it to you! Today is the final day!! Of course there are prizes! We'll give away three packs of goodness! The Prize Package includes the Lovely Garden Stamp Set; the Matching Lovely Garden Cutting Dies from Stampendous; a Sand It Kit from Core'dinations which includes a sanding block, replacement sandpaper, and a "must-have" Dust Buddy clean up cloth; Core'dinations will also be sending the lucky winners some of their fantastic 6" X 6" paper pads. PLUS an extra special bonus - our friends at Dreamweaver Stencil will be adding the gorgeous Stone Wall stencil that Jamie Martin used in her terrific card she'll be posting this week (you can see a peek of it on this blog hop banner!)  In the meantime, here's my project:

Here's what I used to create this card:

Stampendous Stamps® Blossom Beauty Stamp Set

Stampendous Stamps® Blossom Beauty Die Cut Set

Stampendous Stamps® Creative Palette

Stampendous Stamps® Royal Heart Quotes Perfectly Clear Stamps

Core'dinations® Vintage Collection™ Emberglow

Core'dinations® Sand It Kit

DecoArt® Paints

Bazzill® Cardstock

Neenah® Classic Crest™ Solar White

VersaFine™ Onyx Black Stamp Pad

Imagine Crafts StāzOn™ - Orange Zest

Cuttlebug™ Folder - Dots

Sizzix® Tim Holtz® Embossing Folder - Stripes

Beacon Adhesive® Zip Dry™

Foam Mounting Squares

Here's what I did to create this card:

Using the Creative Palette and paints, I created my papers for the flowers

Stamp the flower three times for each flower

Using the dies, cut out the pieces to create two flowers

Create card base

Trim orange paper and green paper to desired sizes

Run both through machine to dry emboss and sand

Add dot paper to card base

Put together flower layers and adhere to card

Freehand cut three leaves and add to card

Stamp sentiment, trim and sponge ink around edges

Trim a mat for sentiment and adhere the two

Adhere sentiment to card

It was a really fun and easy card to create but it looks like it was way more complicated!  I love how the colors pop on this one!  So, on to bigger and better...
