Hey there, Nacho fans! I'm so excited to be part of the "something new" coming out of Nacho Average Challenge - a blog hop that's all about the 2016 Sale-A-Bration! I hope you'll enjoy your time here, and then hop on through to the other designers - I have a list of links below if you get lost, lol. Anyway, I decided to feature the beautiful Flowering Fields set, and actually make a few cards, combining it with the Greetings Thinlets, since there's no sentiment with this set. Those pretty stems are enough, believe me! I love "outline" botanicals that I can color - it's like they made this set for me, lol. For my first card, I decided to just indulge my inner coloring gremlin, and line up all the stems I could fit on my card front. Then I went to town with my Subtles markers. I decided to float this image over a piece of Wildflower Fields DSP, and then add another pop of color with the thinlet in Blackberry Bliss. Because you know, green and purple, it's my thing! Flowering Fields Stamp Set; Wildflower Fields DSP; Old Olive, Whisper White & Blackberry Bliss CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Subtles Collection Markers; Greetings Thinlets. For my second card, I again kept it super simple. The stem on this card is the one I couldnt fit on the first card, so I decided to do an all-over pattern with it, and then color them all in different shades on green. I chose the "hello" thinlet for this one, and I again layered fiive of them to really add some dimension to the sentiment. In the end, I added a few rhinestones for a bit of shine. A quick and gentle card! Flowering Fields Stamp Set; Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz & Mossy Meadow CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pear Pizzazz, Wild Wasabi, Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow & Garden Green Markers; Greetings Thinlets; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. For my last idea, I got thinking about how the last sentiment in the Greetings Thinlets, "Cheers," is something we always say in our house when we're toasting, or relaxing, or just getting together for good times. And everyone has to take a second and go around and clink everyone else's glasses - right? So I made up a set of tags we can hang on wine bottles, or other drinks, that we'll take along to our newly revived supper club - I so can't wait to get back together with all our friends and families! Always good times to treasure. Hopefully these tags will add an extra bit of "cheer" to our fun... Flowering Fields Stamp Set; Elegant Eggplant, Lost Lagoon, Delightful Dijon & Whisper White CS; Perfect Plum, Pool Party & So Saffron Inks; Greetings Thinlets; Curvy Corner Trio & PL Corner Rounder Punches; 1/4" Grosgrain in Elegant Eggplant; Ruffled Ribbon in Pool Party; Dotted Lace Trim in Delightful Dijon.

Such cute projects, Heather! Green and purple are my two favorite colors :) Love the Cheers tags, that's a really cute idea and a great use for the sentiment!
