Ornate Symmetry Birthday

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:

This design was inspired by the color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

The Pool Party card base is embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. I added a Cherry Cobbler frame die cut from Ornate Layers and the stamped piece was die cut using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. It's hard to see, but there are Clear Epoxy Essentials added to the flower petals.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

In Symmetry Anniversary

 Hello and welcome back! I've definitely fallen off the grid for a bit - major family crisis last week really messed with me - and I'm super behind on my cards this month. These anniversary cards are going out tomorrow. I'm surprised at how many people got married in October!

I combined the challenges at Freshly Made Sketches and CAS Colours & Sketches to come up with this design. I rotated the sketch 90 degrees and made a horizontal card instead of a vertical one.

I used my Stamparatus to create the center stamped panel - each color of stamp was on a different plate. It makes assembly line stamping so much easier! I layered the stamped panel onto a piece of Old Olive cardstock to make it stand out a bit from the card base and popped the whole thing up with dimensionals. A little resin heart in the center of the flower finishes off this card.

I still have more anniversary cards to make this month but at least I'll be making a dent with these!

Have a great day, and happy stamping!
