Make It Monday #153: Watercolored Background With Heat Embossed Sentiment

My first entry into this Make It Monday challenge features a card inspired by the beautiful Lupita Nyong'o and her impeccable style.  This is a simple card which pairs turquoise and gold.  I didn't realize how beautiful this combination was until I saw Lupita in this gorgeous dress!  I hope you love the combination as much as I do.

Runway Inspired Challenge #54 - Diane von Furstenberg

 My entry to this Runway Inspired Challenge was inspired by the Olympic rings.  I decided to mix classic with contemporary.  Enjoy!

I cut the rings using Spellbinders circle dies and colored them with Copic markers.  I used GKD Vintage Backgrounds houndstooth stamp (I had to break out the stamp-a-ma-jig!) and GKD Vogue Vases 2 for the sentiment.  But overall, it was a pretty simple design.  

Spring is bustin' out all over!

This winter has been especially brutal for us Chicagoans, so these cards were inspired by my desperate longing for spring!  There's so much you can do with floral embellishments.  I added stickles to some and some bling to others and voila!

For this purple garden (above), I used a pattern a saw from Maile Belles.  I absolutely love her simple and smart style (even though these cards a pretty busy). :)

Stamps: Papertrey Ink

Floral embellishments:  Recollections
