Tonight Melanie Muenchinger has several designing friends sharing samples they created using some of their favorite sets from Melanie. I have been a guest designer for Melanie several times and was happy to participate. My two favorite sets are "A Year of Flowers" and "A Year of Leaves". I have created two projects so I could use both these stamp sets.
The card was created using "A Year of Flowers". The card was inspired by all the beautiful lilies I have growing in my yard right now. The Apple Green card stock is from GKD. It was embossed with the "Victoria" Cuttlebug embossing folder. The lace background was created with a Martha Stewart corner punch and then the center scored on the ScorBuddy. Large green rhinestones were added to each corner. The flowers were colored with Copic markers and cut out and arranged adding green leaves to fill in. An embossed tag was added. The greeting is from the same stamp set.
The Gable Box was created following a tutorial on SCS. The card stock used is GKD "Pumpkin Spice". Sorry this box did not photograph the rich colors on this box. The leaves and acorns are from Melanie's "A Year of Leaves" stamp set and were stamped on glossy card stock. The color was added to the leaves by sponging on different colors. The acorns were colored with Copic markers. The verse is also from the same set. The background paper is from "Me & My Big Ideas" paper pack and has metallic copper in it so I added some copper cording above the handle. A Velcro dot holds the box closed.
