Make the Cards Dry Embossing Challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday #548

The Simon Says Stamp Floral Fields Embossing Folder was used to create these two bright and cheerful cards.  This embossed piece had been laying on my craft desk for quite awhile and I decided to use it as a last minute entry into Make the Cards Challenge #50 to use Dry Embossing Challenge.  A Sundance Shimmer Brush was used to color the flower centers with matching Sundance Card Stock panels.  Sapphire Glitter Paper created the accents.

Which card do you like better?

In this first card Honey Bee Bitty Buzzwords Dies were used for the greeting.

In this second card Sentiments by Melissa Esplin Celebrate stamp was stamped in Sapphire Ink.  The bow was die cut from CTMH retired "Party Balloons".

The above card was based on the new sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday:

I'm also entering these cards into the following challenges:

     Simon Says Monday--Bright and Cheerful

     Heart 2 Heart--Hip, Hip Hooray!

     Stamping Sensations March Challenge--Something for Spring

    

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
