Sunflower 3-D Embossing Folder and Ink Smooshing

Hi Stamping Friends,

Just a quick blog post for you today to show you the cards I made with my "Ink Smooshing" paper that I created last week.  

I had seen some really pretty examples using this technique and our new Sunflower 3-D embossing folder and I just had to sit down and play for a little while!  

It's a gorgeous folder with a stunning impression so I hope you enjoy my cards as much as I do.  It was so fun to just get stuff out and get creative!  I will leave a list of products below.

Simple Elegance

Hello Friends!

Today's card design was inspired by the current sketch challenge over at The Paper Players.  The sketch was a clean and simple challenge, so I knew it was for me!  My color choices were inspired by the Stampin' Up! color coach

 I really haven't used it much, but today it was my best friend in my design efforts.  :)

I hope you enjoy today's simple and elegant card.  It was great fun to create!  Happy stamping!
