I started with an idea that was in my head and the end result I made a set of cards. I started with kraft card stock and blended around the edges with Colorbox Ink, Frost White and set aside to dry. I then grabbed 3 pieces of white card stock all similar in size and stamped the bamboo from the Hero Arts, Chinese Dolls set in Versamark Ink and clear embossed each one. I got my Ranger, Distress Ink, Broken China, Shabby Shutters and Worn Lipstick and blended a single colour on each of the embossed card stock, producing what I thought looked like bright colourful Spring colours, I distressed the edges on each of the images and blended again until I was satisfied with the end result, I also stamped a little dragonfly from the Hero Arts, Good Fortune set in 3 places on the blended card stock to add another effect, I set these aside to dry. At the bottom of each card I stamped a sentiment from Hero Arts, Everyday Sayings and Thank You Sayings sets. Lastly, I added some rhinestones above the senttiments and attatched the stamped and blended card stocks to each card with some dimensionals.Here is a photo of each individual card.


A small but lovely set for someone to have as a gift.I hope that you enjoyed looking at these cards today and that some inspiration has come your way, and although we are in Autumn I do look forward to Spring and having these colours to look at makes me think of that.
Enjoy your day today.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and have a look.

What a nice set, Joy!! I think I like the blue one best, although they are all so pretty!! Love your distressing, as always! I also love the subtle Frost White ink around the kraft card! Such a nice touch! (something that I would never have thought of!) Nice job! :)
Hi Joy, these three cards are just so gorgeous. I love what you have done with them xoxoxoxoxo
So pretty! These colors are gorgeous!
Really beautiful cards, Joy! I love those great colors and the white shading on the kraft cs. Thanks for sharing this lovely design.
These are so beautiful! I love them, those branches (trees?), dragonflies and colors you used. Great set!
These are some lovely cards! I really like the colors you chose, and those cute pearly accents. :)
