Primas and Leaves

More Turning a New Leaf...Can't resist. One of my favorite color combos is raspberry and lime green (and the real-life flavors taste good together, too). Here are a couple of attempts with Prima flowers. I don't know which one I like better--I'm a little wary of making cards where the inside is dark, rather than white. Can people read writing on that color?
It's hard to tell, but I added a little sparkle to the centers of the flowers with a Sakura Stardust clear pen. I like a little bling now and then.
Both cards:
Paper: PTI White, Raspberry Fizz
Ink: SU Gable Green, Pink Passion
Stamps: PTI Turning a New Leaf, Giga Guide Lines
Other: Prima flowers, Sakura Stardust clear pen, corner rounder

    I like both of them! Usually if I have a dark base color I'll add a lighter colored piece inside that coordinates so that I can write/stamp on that. Or you could use white ink inside too.

    Beautiful cards! When I have dark card bases I too just add a light color cardstock panel inside.

    Beautiful Cheryl! I love those colors together too!

    I usually add a lighter color layer to the insides of my dark-based cards (that's when all the paper insert with the color names from PTI come in handy!)

    I agree, love that color combo! And love those little flowers, they look like little cherry blossoms.

Hello everyone!  Welcome to the Erin Lee Creative January release .  When I received these products I sat down immediately and started to play.  There are such fun new stamps, dies and stencils.  I'm sure you'll find something you like. We are hopping today (see list below) to show off these great new products.  If you've come from Lindsay Dickason's blog , you're in the right place! There will be two (2) $25 gift certificate winners chosen from the comments on our blogs, so comment away!  Winners will be posted on the Erin Lee Creative Blog on Saturday, February 1.

Next up we have two products: L...

Erin Lee Creative November Release

Hello!  I am your last stop on the Erin Lee Creative blog hop for the November release, now available in the shop .  If you haven't seen everyone's creations yet, check the list at the bottom of this post. *PRIZES* Two $50 gift vouchers will be given to winners chosen randomly from comments on each blog in the hop.  Winners will be announced on the Erin Lee Creative blog on November 9. Let's get to the projects! First up are two cards made with the same products...the  Stripe Background Stamp  and the  Stripe Sentiments Stamp Set .  There are so many possibilities with just these two products!  I started with an autumn rainbow of distress oxide inks: I really love how these sentiments fit perfectly in the stripes, and they look like the labels we used to make with those vintage label makers (remember turning the wheel and pulling the trigger for the right letters?).  They look especially good when heat embossed. (Sorry for getting that song...
