Basket of Wishes and Sunshine Cards from Sunday's Spring Card Class

Hi!  Apologies for the delay, but wanted to be sure to share the last two cards that we created at last Sunday's Spring Card Class!   

Here is a card we made with the stamps and embossing folder from the newly released Sale-a-Bration Level 2 Blossoming Basket Bundle:


We colored the flowers and basket with the Stampin' Blends.  You can't really see from the photo, but we also colored the large flower centers and the purple buds with Wink of Stella for some subtle sparkle!

And, last but not least, we created this card using the Waterfront Stamp Set and Brusho, which was inspired by the card in the upper left corner on page 49 of the 2018 Occasions Catalog:


The designer paper in the background of my card is from the Eastern Palace Specialty Paper.  For the die cut, class attendees had a choice of words from either the Sunshine Wishes Dies, which is what I used for the "sunshine" in my sample, or the Sale-a-Bration Level 2 Celebrate You Thinlits.  We die cut the words from So Saffron card stock, then colored with Stampin' Blends to create an ombre effect. 

Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
