Vintage Flower

Mornin' y'all!  How's your day going?  Ryan has STEM club after school today so I am looking forward to some extra crafty time...while I do laundry : )  Here's my card for today:

Yes, I still have multiple brand new stamp sets that I haven't inked up yet, but I pulled out a set that retired several years ago for the TGIF inspiration challenge:

At first I looked for a cake image, but then I decided to go with a floral theme instead.  I paired that with the Festive Friday challenge:

I've got white, silver, lace, and heat embossing on here.  At least I thought the pearls were silver but they're Smoky Slate?  They still look silvery to me.  Anyway, I don't know anyone who's getting married anytime soon, so I skipped the wedding vibes.  For the flower image, I stamped it in Basic Gray + VersaMark, then heat embossed with clear EP so I could do a bit of watercoloring.

Last up is the CAS Colours & Sketches sketch:

For the striped element, I stamped my lacy pattern in the corner, masked with a bit of torn copy paper, and lightly sponged Smoky Slate on before removing my mask.  I have to say though I wish I had used a different pink color, try as I might I just am not super fond of Petal Pink but the SU! folks seem quite enamored of it given how often it features in patterned papers and embellishments.

That's it for now, y'all.  Daphne is extra crazy today so I'd better take her out for a walk before she starts destroying things in the house for the fun of it.  Cheers!

ETA:  I had to do another one, so here it is in Bubble Bath:

I used Crumb Cake ink for my neutral...I tried Early Espresso for the flower but it was overpowering.  I also switched out the sorta-silver pearls for rhinestones; I tried to color those with the dark Bubble Bath Blend but it didn't show up at all.  So, Petal Pink + Smoky Slate, or Bubble Bath + Crumb Cake?  Either way now I have two more cards to mail out next week : )
