Stretch Your Stamps: Watercolor Ginkgo with Neat & Tangled

 Hello Crafters! 

I hope you're doing well! It's been a minute since I posted but in my defense I was out of town having my soul refilled by the most amazing group of women I know. 

I made nothing all weekend long but jumped right back in as soon as I got home last night. 

I'm over on the Neat & Tangled blog sharing these cards. 

For today's card I really wanted to turn the beautiful Ginkgo tress from the Have Courage set into little bunches of flowers. I knew I wouldn't need the stems because I could hide them behind this adorable Happiness die cut. 

I actually started off with this card but it was feeling a lot like fall to me with all the yellows, greens, and oranges so I actually set it aside. 

I know?! At first I didn't take my own advice...everything is fixable. 

I did revisit it and was able to add some detail that made them look much more like flowers. 

For this one I kept the layout more centralized but I'm not sure I like it better. There's something about the more open feel on the pink one I really love. 

You can watch both of them come together in the video below 

I can't believe how well all the shimmer shows up in the photos. The blue violet cardstock actually looks speckled! 

Thank you so much for stopping by! 

I'll be back tomorrow with another video :)
