Happy Lazy Sunday Friends! I hope you are well (and warm) and have a lovely day planned. Today is the last Sunday of the month and that signals a new Discovery Hop on Instagram. The premise of the Hop is to dig into your stash and use what you have on hand to create something based on the theme. The theme this Hop is Spring/Florals. This is a Just for Fun Hop, providing inspiration to "Shop Your Stash".
I dug around in my rather large stash of Floral sets and found the Lace Flowers Stamp and Coordinating Die Set from Gina K. Designs. I'd forgotten about this set with it's Zen-like flowers. I love the bold lines of the images.
I've colored the images using Prismacolor Pencils and die cut with the coordinating dies. I did my own embossing on the panel, meaning I scored the top half of the panel using a bone folder and score board. The bottom half of the panel was left untouched so I could stamp the sentiment, which is included in this set.
The smaller flower has been popped on foam pads for dimension and to finish the design, I've added blue gems and white dots using a Posca Paint Pen.
You can start Hopping along HERE. I hope you'll stop in and have a look at all the different styles and products everyone has shopped from their stashes. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card from you, Donna. The scorboard embossing is subtle and perfect. That is something I have done only once, years ago. I should try again sometime. Have a sunny week, we are getting a weak little front tomorrow that will lessen the humidity a bit (I'll take it!) and then temps drop a little later in the week...we will see. The more attention I seem to pay to the weather forecasters, the more they are wrong, haha. XOX
