Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the cards that I made during my Facebook Live Mini Class last night. Each week on Wednesday I do a Free Facebook Live Mini Class featuring a stamp set or bundle from one of the new Stampin' Up!'s catalogs. If you have never joined me during one of my lives I go live every Wednesday at 8 pm CST except the second Wednesday of the month then I go live at 3 pm CST. Last night I focused on the Breathtaking Bouquet Background Stamp Set as the main focus of my projects, and shared three different ways to use it. I picked the Breathtaking Bouquet stamp set to feature in last nights mini class because it was one of the stamps I feel in love with when I first saw it in the new January-June Mini Catalog. I love how all the flowers are perfectly placed and come out just so striking. Here's a look at my cards.

Tips & Tricks:
For my first card I did a little ink blending to start out with Whisper White Craft Ink in the center of the Pretty Peacock cardstock and then I used Pretty Peacock and Night of Navy inks around the edges before heat embossing the background stamp on top. By starting out on a piece of colored cardstock it makes your ink blending easier because you don't have to ink blend so much. By adding the whisper white in the center and blending outwards you create a glow in the center of the cardstock, as you can see above.
For the second card I stamped the background in Crumb Cake ink on my Crumb Cake base. Once I had that done I added a piece of Whisper White cardstock to the stamparatus and stamped again using tuxedo black ink. I then did a little fussy cutting for the rose. I then took it and did a little quick coloring. I swiped some color onto it with my Dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blend marker, and then used the textured stamp from Dressed to Impress Stamp set. This allowed me to do some quick coloring without a lot of work.
For my last card I stamped the background stamp on Whisper White in Petal Pink ink and cut it down to 3 1/2 x 5 1/2. I matted it onto a piece of Lovely Lipstick cardstock and then onto a Purple Posy card base. I added a piece of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper matted with Lovely Lipstick to the front of the card to add a little color and texture. I heat embossed the sentiment onto a little Lovely Lipstick piece.
