Learn how to make 3 beautiful cards with Thankful Garden Bundle and Lovely Garden Suite - Laura Milligan Id Rather Bee Stampin

The first card I created used a bold color palette –  featuring Blueberry Bushel.  I used the coordinating masks to add color to the stamped image.  I am lucky to have blue hydrangeas in my garden – oh they are just beautiful!   That was the inspiration for the first card:

Next, a shabby chic, vintage card.  This card was based on my Annabelle hydrangeas in my garden.  They are so pretyt as well, and I love the soft white with a hint of green on the flower.   For this card, I used Basic Beige ink and added a very light touch of color to the stamped images. Soft Seafoam was the ink for the leaves-  color was added with the Masks.   I used an upcoming online exclusion called Damask Designs Embossing Folder for the Basic White panel.  I used a Blending Brush with some Basic Beige ink to highlight the embossed floral pattern.  The addition of the small lock and key was also fun –  these come from the Tags to Go dies.

The third card is a fun fold –  you can see how it comes together on the FB Live recording.   For this card, I pulled the colors from the Desinger Series Paper.   So pretty!
