Saturday Showcase - Better Together

Hey friends! Happy weekend to you. I'm joining in today for Saturday Showcase over on the Papertrey Ink Blog. This week we are creating projects with the gorgeous set, Better Together. Pretty florals + uplifting and thoughtful sentiments … two of my favorite things in one stamp set!

I created two cards for today … same color combo, just different layouts!

I started by stamping a variety of the flowers and stems/leaves onto the following cardstock colors … Hawaiian Shores, Bright Buttercup, Melon Berry, Berry Sorbet and Pure Poppy. After die-cutting them all I began assembling my cards. 

For the first one I chose a simple row of colorful flowers. I attached those to a white card panel that I had trimmed down to 4" x 5.25". Above my flowers I added one of uplifting sentiments.

I then attached the panel to the front of my Bitty Big: Smokey Shadow card base. I used circle punches to create the centers of my flowers. It's hard tell from the photo, but each of them was filled in with Glossy Accents.

My second card features more of the flowers tucked around my sentiment. I did some layering on this one, placing the smaller flowers over the larger. Again I filled in the centers using my circle punch and white cardstock. 

I wanted to add a bit more color and chose to replace a few of the words in the sentiment with colorful sentiment strips. I just love how this one turned out!

Be sure to visit the Papertrey Ink Blog for more inspiration. Have a wonderful day!
