For my first card, I started by stamping both the milk can and the flowers with Memento ink on Thick Whisper White card stock. After it was dry, I used my Blends to color. I used the Light Sea Foam Blend to color around the colored image and then used the Color Lifter to blend out the color. I then used a sponge to sponge more Soft Sea Foam around the edges of the card stock.
I used the Stamparatus with Thick Whisper White and Gorgeous Grape to stamp the Buffalo Check background, stamping 2X to get good coverage.
The Tin Tile Embossing Folder was used to emboss a Highland Heather matte. This embossing folder is AMAZING! It gives a very crisp, embossed pattern that looks good as both a background and a decorative strip. It can be distressed with ink or paint and it is lovely for embossing foil sheets. You will definitely want to order this from the Holiday Catalog on Tuesday, September 5!
A strip of the Buffalo Check was glued to the card front and then the colored image was adhered on top using Dimensionals. A length of Granny Apple Green Textured Weave Ribbon was knotted around it. The matte was then adhered to a Granny Apple Green card front using a piece of fun foam.
The sentiment was stamped on Thick Whisper White using Gorgeous Grape and then die cut using an oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. It was adhered to the card front using Dimensionals.
For inside the card, the same flower image was stamped, offset, and colored on Thick Whisper White and then matted on Gorgeous Grape before being adhered inside the card.

For my second card, I used the Stamparatus to stamp Thick Whisper White with the Buffalo Check using Mango Melody. This matte was adhered to a standard Blackberry Bliss card front.
I stamped the watering can and flowers on Thick Whisper White using Memento and colored them with Blends. To correct accidental flecks of ink when taking the caps off a marker, I decided to add more flecks to add interest, after first masking the colored image with Post It Notes.
One of the Pearlized Doilies was cut in half and the matte side sponged with Blackberry Bliss ink. This was adhered to the back side of the colored image and then the matte was adhered to the card front using Dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped on a strip of Blackberry Bliss using Versamark and then heat embossed using White Stampin' Emboss Powder. a line of cross stitches was added by using a die from the Stitched Labels Framelits. a thin strip of the copper Glimmer Paper from the Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper was adhered behind the strip before adhering both to the card front using a Foam Adhesive Strip.
A matte inside the card had a thin strip of the same Glimmer Paper adhered vertically to the right side and the edges sponged with Mango Melody before being glued inside the card.
