I am determined to ink up all the images in the stamp sets I have purchased. I have neglected this image from the Happy Watercolor set in favor of the poppy but today it has its turn. The image is embossed in White embossing powder on Shimmery White card stock so it is a little hard to see the pretty little flowers. The whole feel of this card is very soft and feminine.

Now, you can clearly understand the title of this post. I used Window Sheets as the card base for this card. The card base measures 4" x8". You can get 4 card bases out of 1 Window sheet. Classic ink will not dry on the Window sheet so I used White Stazon ink to stamp the image from the Flowering Flourishes set.
The flowers are stamped on the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series paper and punched out using the Pansy punch.
Here's the list of the supplies used to make this card. You can click on the links for more information about the products and order them online.
It is a pretty rainy, gray morning. I am not usually inspired by the rain but the Sale-A-Bration stamp set See Ya Later has a perfect stamp for life in the Pacific Northwest.
I am just hoping that sometime today there will be a sun sighting!
Here's a list of the supplies I used to make this card. You can click on the links for more information about the products and also to order online.
One of the things I do when I am in a stamping slump is organize. It helps me feel like I am doing something in preparation for when I am ready to stamp. One thing that was really in need of organizing was my paper scraps. I tend to keep lots of little bits and pieces of paper. I have a page protector full of scraps for every color of card stock that Stampin' Up! sells. During this purge of scraps I found a card base that was embossed and ready to be made. It was a great find and starting point.
This card has a secret, a very little secret, such a little secret that I probably shouldn't even mention it.
The You're Lovely set is a Sale-A-Bration choice. You can receive it free with a $50 order until the end of March.
Do you see the secret? The front is cut about 2" shorter than the back. I am not sure what I had in mind to make when I originally did this. I warned you it was a very little secret.

Thank you everyone who sent me ideas on how to jump start my creativity! Lots of really good ideas. I will definitely be trying your suggestions. Sometimes having too many choices can be overwhelming so I pulled out the Happy Watercolor set and some Crumb Cake paper and decided that was what i was going to start with. Here's what I made.

I have a simple card to share with you today. I have not been feeling very creative lately and honestly it is frustrating. I will try again tomorrow and hope to have lots of new things to share with you soon.
Isn't this a great background? It is the Hardwood stamp and it is so handsome, perfect for a masculine card.
