Here we go! I’ve designed two cards especially for today’s hop!
Let’s chat about the Friend card first. If you’ve been following for any amount of time, you know that I generally work with copics. I gravitate to the pale pastels. I stretch my creativity and used colored pencils for this project.
The draw for me about colored pencils is working with colored cardstock. I stamped and heat embossed the Friend stamp onto a pebble colored cardstock.
Whew, I tell you, colored pencils is a workout. I just used a Prismacolor set. You can’t really tell but my pebble panel has been mounted onto a leaf panel.
I really love how the blue in Friend really pops.
Here’s my other card that uses the same Pebble cardstock but this time I used copics.
I teamed up the Simple Blooms Stamp Set with the Social Distance Stamp Set. This is clean and simple and really makes those gorgeous blooms the start of the show. LOVE that sentiment!
Next up is the awesome Carly Tee Minner!

Love the choice of colours, so beautiful.
Well you make pastel look like the cool kid, that's for sure. Those soft pinks and grays in your second card have me crushing HARD. And since sunflowers are the official flower of North Dakota, your first design instantly brought a big smile to my face.
Nice lighter color options. Great set use.
Love the muted hues of the pencils!!
So pretty and delicate. Almost looks like it was stamped on vellum!
