Stamp your flower and one leaf on colonial CS with brown stazOn, from there you use markers to brush in color to flower and leaf.

I started with buttercup and brushed quite a bit of color onto flower, then barley traced the center of the flower with chocolate marker leaf with olive.  

 Next I am going to bring in the honey and add more color closer in to the base of the flower and gently pull out

 Lastly I will use my water brush to blend colors

Cut the leaf and flower out, layer onto the Outdoor CS 2 ¼ sq. 

I used foam tape to apply these.

 Now attach your zip strips to the top and bottom of card

Then place our B&T 1” down from top, I brushed mine with outdoor ink. And stamp the rope stamp from the Pemberley WOG kit above and below this piece, keep it close to allow for your saying.

On the inside of the card I put the saying, from Pemberly WOG kit and with outd oor ink stamp the flower image.

 Then put the outdoor Sq with flower in top left corner and you are finished.

Hope you enjoy this, now hop on over to {Haleys Blog}

Our Stamp of the month Blog Hop is featuring:   You Are….. Love this set, it has great fun words and the lined and diamond shaped pattern stamps are very fun to play with.

 If you have arrived here from{Sarita Schraeder’s Blog}you are on the right track.  If you get lost along the way go to {Helen Onulak’s Blog} for a complete list of hoppers

Feel free to check out the detailed instructions below or hope on over to {Dawn Ross’s Blog} for another great idea!

I made a card using both our You are set and also the Lucy Workshop stamps. 

I started by using the B&T from Lucy cut two pieces at 4 ¼ x 5 ½ one I left full size and have the pink pattern showing the other with the flower pattern up with the edges torn slightly.  I used colonial CS cut 3 x 4 and the great cricut shapes from Lucy workshop also using colonial white cs.  Stamps and Bitty bling.

I used the diamond patter stamp to decorate the 3 x 4 using z2125 Grey Wool ink, I also brushed the edges with grey wool. 

I then stamped you are positively saying and cut out to layer on front of card. 

I attached all flowers with foam tape z1151, and added the bling to butterfly and flowers.  On the inside of the card I used the word amazing along with another flower image.

Next stop is {Dawn Ross’s Blog}

 If you arrived here from {Lisa Sargent’s Blog} you are on the right track our stamp of the month is called Potential, that is a great name for this set. 

There are many things you can do with this.  I chose to make a gift box using my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. 

This idea was inspired by my wonderful upline Karen Morris.

You are welcome to hop on over to {Haley Dyer’s Blog} or check out the detailed instructions below.  If you get lost along the way go to {Helen Onulak’s blog} for the master blog hop list.

I started by making the actual box, shown on page 22 of the guide.  A-2, cut at 10 ¾.  I also cut two circles, one out of Lagoon CS at 1 ¾ then Olive CS at 2”.  I used out great new Tapestry Velvet Rub-ons in Dark Chocolate z1700for image; these actually match the designs in Potential.  I did have to trim lagoon some as I was not able to center image exactly but love the lagoon color shining through dark brown velvet.

I then layered onto olive circle and brushed with cocoa ink.  To decorate the box sides I used lagoon ink and the scroll stamp from Potential, then brushed entire box with olive ink and a sponge.

Next I used Patterned B&T from Stella paper pack cut at 2” to decorate front and back.  I used the Cocoa Ribbon Collection z1316 to finish it out and tie the box.

I am showing this at my classes this month but of course I did not have enough velvet images to do all of them so I had some olive embossing powder and flipped it around a bit.

Hope you enjoy this and all the other wonderful  projects shown using this great set.

Love the sayings that come in this set.  I also used the stamp set from the Florentine WOG. 

Using the Art Philosophy cartridge from CTMH and my Cricut I cut a 4 ½ “circle card out of Vanilla Cream Cardstock.  Using the B&T from Florentine Kit I cut 4 1/2 “circle.

I then cut circle at 2 ¾ and flipped the short side to show the blue B&T.  If using lined B&T keep it straight.

On the short side, the Blue B&T I embossed the lace stamp and the believe in yourself from the stamp set that came in the Florentine WOG.  I used the versa mark ink and the gold embossing powder.

Using cricut I cut one image (E7) at 2 1/4 out of Vanilla Cream CS and one at 2 1/2 from Cocoa Cardstock.

stamp your saying then layer and put onto your card

Lastly I brushed the edges of my card with Cocoa ink.
