June SUper Friends Gathering Make and Takes

At our June SUper Friends Gathering, in addition to our card swap (you can follow the link to see those, if you haven't already), we also made a couple of cards.    

First, we made a mini notecard (3"x3") using the new Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and a wash of three colors in the background, with some stamped images from the Sailing Home Bundle.  The greeting was stamped on a vellum die cut and the ship colored with Stampin' Blends.   Here are a few variations I made:

The card base is one of the new In Colors, Pretty Peacock.

The second card we created used a background technique with the Stampin' Blends inspired by these gorgeous cards by Artisan Emma Goddard.  Images from the May 2019 Hugs from Shelli Paper Pumpkin kit were stamped repeatedly on a piece of Whisper White Card Stock cut to layer on one of the Whisper White Note Cards.  We then colored around the images with Stampin' Blends and I like adding a bit of So Saffron in the flower centers as well.  The greetings are on Stitched Nested Labels Dies and are decorated with fussy cut flowers from the Free as a Bird Stamp Set (also available in a bundle with the Stitched Nested Labels dies here).   Here are a few samples I made with this technique:

Hope you like these!  Thanks so much for visiting my blog.
