Special Moments for every season

Greetings!

 With just a few days left of SALE-a-bration (Jan 4 - Feb 28, 2022) there's still time to take advantage of the FREE items you can earn.  The Special Moments stamp set is one of those products (FREE with $100 purchase), and this stamp set is filled with a wonderful variety of greetings and messages for the whole year!  

Today's card features a beautiful bouquet of flowers from the Jar of Flowers stamp set, and even though the set includes a jar to hold the flowers, I wanted to incorporate the fabulous open-weave basket that is part of the Seasonal Basket dies.  This basket is the perfect size for this lovely bouquet.  


The cute little note tag is just one of the wonderful messages included in the Special Moments stamp set, and sunflowers are such a happy flower no matter the time of year.  

What makes this card really pop are the details.  The beautiful basket cut from the Copper Foil Sheets, the bouquet embossed with Copper Embossing Powder, the Paper Lattice frame, and the great little knot and tassel attaching the note to the basket.  

I love coloring in images that have been heat embossed as the raised edges make it so easy to stay in the lines!  The Stampin' Blends Combo Packs make shading a breeze, as each pack includes a light and dark shade of the color.  If you haven't tried them yet, I encourage you to get them out and start playing!  You'll feel like an artist in no time ๐Ÿ˜Š
