Dusty Rose Florals

Time for another Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and this one has such beautiful inspiration photos:
This reminds me of my granddaughter's wedding two years ago. Her bridesmaids' colors were dusty rose. So lovely!
I love the simplicity of this card and the softness of the colors. Here is what I used to make this card, but of course you can easily CASE this card with what you have in your stash:
2) Sentiment - Hero Arts Embossing Powder Silver with Tsukineko Versamark Ink;
3) Background - Pinkfresh Studio 12 X 12 Xmas Paper (retired);
4) Flowers: Honey Bee Whimsical Spring Flowers and A Pocketful of Happiness Summer Floral (out of stock). Paper for the die cuts is Ranger Ink's Tim Holtz Water Color Card Stock.
5) Inks: Ranger Ink's Distress Ink: Tattered Rose; The Stamp Market: Cotton Candy and Blush Pink and Waffle Flower: My Pleasure. Not sure of what green I used.
6) Background Die: Spellbinders Postage Edge Rectangles (retired).
Thanks for joining us and we look forward to see your Beautiful Blossoms cards!

Paper Funday with Newton's Nook

Welcome to August 2024 and another Paper Funday Challenge! This month I choose Newton's Nook Designs as the sponsor to highlight. 
The sets I chose from Newton's Nook were: Birthday Barks and Paw-Some BirthdayPaw-Some Birthday. I also had a pad of the Birthday Woofs 6 X 6 paper which I used on each card.  Cute cute designs!
All of the images were stamped on Ranger Tim Holtz Watercolor Card Stock with Altenew Obsidian Black Pigment Ink and sprinkled with Altenew Crisp Clear Embossing Powder and heat set. The water coloring was also all done with Altenew 36 Pan Watercolor Set. This makes it easier for me to watercolor at lunchtime at work!
I also used some new dies I just received from My Creative Time: Pretty Oval Layer Dies, Cute Bubble Cover Die and XOXO Border Frame Dies.  I love adding new "foundation" pieces to my stash to help create cards.
Come join us at the Challenge - Anything Goes!
I will also be submitting to NBUS for much of these products are new to me.
