Shades of Red


I stamped with abandon with these, and it was liberating! I'm playing along with Winnie & Walter's Share the Love featuring Essentials by Ellen Day One: Florals.


Our challenge was to create something with florals so I stamped one of the solid image blooms from The Big, The Bold and Extras in light pink, bright pink, red and crimson onto a white card panel. I then over-stamped the blooms with the lined bloom stamp image from the same set, and finished the panel with some of the stamen details and a series of dots. I mounted this panel onto a dark pink card base with foam adhesive and then added a border of a black and white strip and white cardstock strip. I stamped a sentiment from Essentials by Ellen 12 Days Companion Greetings Stamp Set. I finished the card with a set of three black rhinestones.


My little one's last day of baseball was tonight. I am so proud of him, he improved by leaps and bounds and I could tell he was having fun. You know it was a good season when they are already talking about next year's baseball games!
