I’m just popping in to share a little inspiration with you this morning! I had so much fun creating with our June Collection that I ended up with so many projects I couldn’t even post them all during the countdown! So I’ll be sharing them over the next week or so. Also, good news! All release orders have been shipped and I know several of them have already started finding their homes in your craft rooms – yay! Have FUN creating! 🙂
So today I have a card using the Summer Sketches and Simple Things set. I took bits and pieces of inspiration from this gorgeous card by Wanda Guess, which she shared during the first day of the countdown. Isn’t it just beautiful?! I love her bright watercolored blooms and her pretty striped background. Even the splatters are perfect!
I was inspired by her stripes and added some to the background of my card as well, but instead of watercoloring them, I just masked and sponged ink. I wasn’t even fussy about making them even, I just went for a more random look. My Summer Sketches blooms were not watercolored – I chose to use the solid stamps from the set instead. I also put some eucalyptus from the Simple Things set behind that Summer Sketches bloom, and added some sentiments from Simple Things. This was a different color combo for me, but I love it!
That’s all for today – just a bit of inspiration for you to break open those new stamps and get busy! I hope your week is off to a great start!

Another gorgeous card. I received my order yesterday and am excited to start some projects.
So lovely! Please keep sharing more, everything is so inspirational 💕
Great inspiration Wanda’s card is a stunner.
So pretty!! Love the gray and orange too.
Beautiful cards! Love the colors! I’m enjoying my new toys!
Beautiful flowers, LOVE the color combo too, Betsy!
All are so beautiful. I love these designs.
Loved Wanda’s card and yours too! Great ways to add stripes to a card and love your color palette.
Betsy, Are you going to be restocking the sets that are already sold out?
Marcia – yes! Everything’s already been re-ordered!
Hi Betsy! I think what makes the gray background so nice, is that it lends itself to almost any color combination. And I love the colors that you & Wanda chose, they are beautiful designs & wonderful inspiration! ( I love the sentiment 😊) I’ve been having so much fun this week, with my new Greetery stamps & dies!
Gorgeous!
I’m inspired by both cards. Love your color combination! I can hardly wait to get my order, and planning my next. Your release was wonderful!
Both cards are so lovely Betsy…I think I actually like the second one better…that surprises even me. tfs
Keep the inspiration coming Betsy! So far I’m just stamping up things to use later when I have more time to actually create the whole card! Loving this color combo.
There are several sets I like but I need to use what I have especially those I have not used yet. I am presently enjoying the Fence Line: Summer. You do beautiful work. Thank you for your inspiration.
What Distress Oxide colors, on the dark grey stripe card, did you use for the Summer Sketches Inspiration – June 26, 2019?
Thank you.
