Zinnia bunch with some sparkle

I have an easy card share today, using the New Online Exclusive Suite Collection - Flowering Zinnias

Zinnia suite

The large zinnia cluster stamp has lots of detail to it but it makes it easy to color and add contrast.  I used Berry Burst, Rich Razzleberry and Pumpkin Pie Blends makers for the flowers and then Granny Apple Green with highlights of Old Olive for the leaves.

I had to give you one more look at the word banner... Look at that sparkle!!!  The Berry Burst Glimmer Specialty Paper is Awesome!  Comes in a pack with Old Olive & White (item # 163769)

So this is a simple layered card but you could definitely step-up by adding another mat layer, and some die cuts.

We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop Final Look at Mini

BeeBlogHopOpeningIcon

Welcome to our Team Blog Hop!  This month's theme has us reflecting on the retiring January - April 2024 Mini Catalog.  There are so many great items that will be going away after April 30th so that is what we are sharing.

I had to go with the Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes.  These are an absolute favorite of mine.  They are actually from the Forever Love Suite Collection (see links below) but you can always order the cards & envelopes separately.  

I'm sharing 3 Different ways I have used the cards:

1.)  Random coloring with Stampin' Blends

  • I used Lemon Lolly and Old Olive blends
  • Die cut pieces (labels and leaves) are from the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle
  • Embellished with the retiring Brushed Metallic Dots

2.)  Highlight coloring with Blending Brushes

  • I used the regular and small blending brushes and inks; Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green
  • Use the brushes again to color the Paper Butterflies (ANOTHER RETIRING FAVORITE); Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather
  • Embellish again with the Brushed Metallic Dots

3.) Not using the Gold Foiled Flowers card as the Card Base

  • I cut the foiled card in half then down to 4-1/8 x 5-3/8
  • Mount onto Basic Black CS
  • Layered the Thoughtful Expressions Dies and kept everything black including the Black Paper Butterfly!!!
