Kitchen Sink Stamps is the CPS sponsor this week, so I pulled out my 3 Step Hibiscus set to play along :) It's an awesome sketch this week and the designers cards are gorgeous!!
Here's a little snapshot of my card's beginnings -
When I'm feeling kinda serious about my cardmaking it's usually a two day process. The first day is just playing around with materials and brainstorming. The second day is when I execute the final card. So prior to yesterday I had already decided on a color scheme for the flowers and had an overall idea of what I wanted the card to look like because I had seen the CPS sketch in advance. Then, when I have some quiet time I pull out all of the supplies I think I might need and get set up to do some stamping :)
Here is my completed card:
Hope you all have a great day and happy stamping!

This is amazing. You make stamping look so easy with that card, but all your supplies scare me to death. Can you tell I am not a stamper?? haha

This is such a beauty! I dont feel as "uncreative" anymore! I always thought I was so uncreative since it took me so long to make a card or come up with an idea. Thanks for sharing your process.
