Natures Symphony

Here is my second swap card for the Stampin' Up! On Stage recent event. 

On this card I didn't want to use designer paper but I wanted the look of designer paper so I created it.

 

On the right Pool Party panel I used the large stamp and stamped it twice stamping off both times for a softer color. 

The far left I used two toned {dark side} Crumb Cake card stock panel I used the large stamp from the Rolling Waves stamp set and stamped it using Crumb cake ink stamping off once then stamping twice before reinking. I repeated this going over previously stamp imagers until the panel was fully covered.

I then torn the panel so show the white core and tore another piece on the lighter side exposing the white core. 

The driftwood die cut piece is popped up with dimensionals and the sentiment strip glue to the top right side.

Good luck St Patrick's day friendship card

Here is a cute friendship card for St. Patrick's day. If you don't want the Lucky to be friends sentiment, the stamp set also had Good Luck and You're Gold sentiments you could use. I added some gold dots with the embossed gold above the pot and didn't realize until after I added them that they are retired, you can add any gold sequins or embellishment you have in your stash. 
 

The shamrock on the inside is stamped off to get a lighter hue

Swirled Designs, Pop up Petals, Prayers and Promises sympathy card

I love this simple, fast card. It features the stamp and die set Swirled Designs. I added the flower from the Pop up Petals stamp set stamped in Momento Black and colored in with Stampin' Blends. I added Wink of Stella to the flower portion. The sentiment comes from Prayers and Promises.  The background stamps from the Swirls Designs I stamped in Balmy Blue and Smokey Slate. The sentiment in Momento Black. The die is cut with Silver Foil, glued down and the flower popped with Stampin' Dimensionals. 
 

I stamped off the background stamp with Balmy Blue ink to get a lighter design than on the front, then stamped the sentiment on top with Momento Black.
