Opulent Oasis in Costal Cabana

Opulent Oasis Bundle + Stylish Shapes Dies

This weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop color was Coastal Cabana. This color makes me think of tropical vibes, so the Opulent Oasis Bundle (available starting May 5th)was a natural choice to show off this color. See the original post on Instagram by clicking HERE.

Opulent Oasis Bundle: #167595

Shimmering Dots: #167949

I used a blending brush with an extra light touch so that the background was just a hint of Coastal Cabana. I used the White Shimmering Dots for the flower centers and the Coastal Cabana Shimmering Dots on the card front.

Sunflower in Gray Granite

Sunflower Embossing Folder + Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Everyday Arches Dies

The featured color for this weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop is Gray Granite. I was stumped as to what to do, so I reached for my tried and true Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.

Sunflower Embossing Folder + Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Everyday Arches Dies

A soft rubbing of White craft ink over the Gray Granite embossed cardstock beautifully highlights the flowers. I have added a sentiment from the Prayers & Promises stamp set.
