Me: Welcome to my second post of the day.
You: I didn’t know you had two posts today!
Me: Oh!? You didn’t!?
You: Nope.
Me: Well you better get to scrolling and check out my earlier post!
You: Well, of course I will!
Me: Thanks! That makes me so happy! *big smile*
Now that you’ve checked out the other post – I’ll let you take a gander at this one.
This post is all about challenging myself to use one stamp set in two different ways.
I chose to use the Papertrey Ink Year of Flowers: Carnation stamp set.
I love this stamp set, especially because I can color in the flowers and use the Tombow Watercolor Markers that I was given by a good friend (thanks Jenni & Austin!!)
My first take on these carnations stamps is a vintage-inspired card.
I used the PTI Text Styles II stamp set to create the faded background, which I think lends perfectly to the vintage feel. Those bright red carnations are just the right pop of color and I added some glitter to the edges for some much needed sparkle.
My next iteration of the YOF: Carnation is a card with a modern feel. I was inspired by one of my favorite accessory stores – Henri Bendel. Their gift boxes and shopping bags feature a simple, yet stunning brown and white striped pattern. I just love it.
I used the solid stripe from PTI Faux Ribbon to create the black and white striped background. And of course a little glitter was in order for the edges of the flowers.
So there we are – two takes on the same flower and the same layout. Both of these cards make me smile and I’m so happy to have shared them with you!
Have a great day.

Thanks a lot for the helpful posting. It is also my belief that mesothelioma cancer has an extremely long latency phase, which means that warning signs of the disease may well not emerge right up until 30 to 50 years after the initial exposure to mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma, that’s the most common form and impacts the area round the lungs, might cause shortness of breath, upper body pains, along with a persistent coughing, which may lead to coughing up blood vessels.
One thing I’d really like to say is the fact before buying more pc memory, check out the machine in to which it would be installed. In the event the machine can be running Windows XP, for instance, a memory ceiling is 3.25GB. Putting in above this would simply constitute any waste. Make sure that one’s motherboard can handle your upgrade volume, as well. Interesting blog post.

Thanks for discussing your ideas. The first thing is that pupils have a solution between fed student loan along with a private student loan where it really is easier to go for student loan consolidation than with the federal student loan.
Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?
I have read several good stuff here. Certainly worth bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how much effort you put to create such a magnificent informative site.
In the great design of things you receive an A+ with regard to hard work. Where exactly you confused us was on all the facts. You know, it is said, details make or break the argument.. And that couldn’t be much more correct in this article. Having said that, let me reveal to you what did give good results. The text can be very powerful which is possibly why I am taking an effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, although I can easily notice the jumps in reason you make, I am not convinced of exactly how you appear to unite the points that produce the conclusion. For now I will yield to your point however trust in the near future you connect your facts better.

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Kudos
