Hi and Happy Monday, everybody! We're gearing up for the LAST week of school here. I just sent my third-grader off to school for his field day today. Ahhhhh, there's nothing like the smell of sunscreen first thing in the morning! (It's waterproof/sweatproof stuff, so I have a feeling the scent is going to be with me for several more handwashings today!) Hat? Check. Sunglasses? Check. Water bottle? Check. Awesome weather forecast? Check. I think he's all set for a super fun day. :D
It's been far too long since I've been able to play along with the Flourishes release week festivities. The DT will start revealing the new sets on Wednesday, and there's a pre-release challenge to play while we wait: Gimme Ten. The challenge is all about 10-minute creations. Boy, do I love quick and easy cards! So easy to jot a quick note in and pop in the mail without the hassle of bubble mailers or extra postage.
Here's my 10-minute creation for today:
Super easy! And making monochromatic cards is so much fun. I used three Flourishes stamp sets to make this card: A Year in Flowers Set 2, Calla Lilies, and Country Charm Labels.
I'm also entering this 10-minute creation over at Julie Koerber's Celebrate Five challenge.
I also enjoyed playing around some more with my sample pack of Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstock that I mentioned yesterday (click HERE for details). Today's card features Circus Peanuts (the lighter orange shade) and Candy Corn (the darker orange shade) cardstock. I do like the smooth surface of this cardstock--it takes ink very nicely. I also love having coordinating color shades within the same color family! Makes for effortless monochromatic projects. Anyway, I'll have more on Card Shoppe as the week goes on!
Thanks for stopping by to check out my 10-minute creation. I hope that wherever you are, today brings you your own little slice of bliss!
Emily

Hooray for this beautiful 10 minute card. Love all the monochromatic-ness of it, and that tiger lily is such a pretty stamp, making a pretty background. :)
Another gorgeous card! And yes, perfect for mailing, no fussy lumps and bumps!! The cardstock colors are pretty, and I do love circus peanuts!! :)
Emily this is beautiful and a color I have a hard time working with. Thanks for playing in Flourisehs Gimme 10 challenge this week.
We had our field day last week and today is the first day of summer vacation for us. Did I sleep in? No up at 6 am. What is wrong with me? ha! Enjoy your day.
Love the monochromatic card with the pop of white! Great CAS card and so glad to hear the weather is nice for the field trip - makes them all that much more fun :)
You make orange look so easy Emily! This is a tough color for me, but I LOVE it with the smidgen of white. Sounds like a fun day for your son ;)
Yup, just the little bit of white makes it POP!Love the lily as a background, and the little scalloped layer is the perfect touch.
You'll definitely smell like sunscreen all day...why it also has to be soap-proof...sigh...lol!
Sounds like you have a fun day ahead. We are already out of school here in Las Vegas.. Your card looks amazing. Orange is such a tough color to work with but you rocked it my friend..
Hugs~
