Guneaux Designs 2017 Best Handmade Cards

As shared yesterday, I am looking back at Guneaux Designs 2017 best handmade cards and wanted to share them.  Today I am sharing three more cards with you.  These cards were also posted on Splitcoaststampers (SCS), Pinterest, and/or other sites.  The comments on SCS and Pinterest PINs is my guide on selecting the best cards.  You can click on the photos to get full details about them.

Here are the three best cards for day three:

  1.  HEARTFELT CREATIONS CLASSIC PETUNIA

I posted this card on June 3, 2017.  Using SCS comments, Pinterest PINS, and views of the card, I have to consider this the BEST card of 2017.  As of this posting, it has received 2223 views on SCS, many comments on SCS, recognition as a favorite on SCS, and 431 Pinterest PINS.  The card features Heartfelt Creations products, and it was recognized by the company on its Twitter feed.  Actually, it has been pinned more than 431 times, and I have seen it on many Twitter feeds and Pinterest Boards.  If the card is posted to Pinterest from my SCS Gallery, which it was, I do not know how many times it was pinned because of Pinterest’s recent change of not including the number of PINs for each card.

Revelations 20:1-3

“And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain [word of God].  He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.  He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended.  After that, he must be set free for a short time.”

Hibiscus Greeting Card

Hello, my friends!  Hope you have some great plans for the weekend!  I appreciate you stopping by Guneaux Designs to see my Hibiscus Greeting Card.  I love Hibiscus plants, and I have many around my home.  One of my Hibiscus plants is the impetus for creating this Hibiscus Greeting Card.  It is a plant that produces large beautiful pink flowers.  Each flower on the Hibiscus plant is at least 6″ in size.

I created this Hibiscus Greeting Card to submit to a Splitcoaststampers.com  Ways To Use It Challenge, WT649 – Domestic Inspiration.  The challenge is to find something around your home that inspires you.  I draw inspiration from many of my Hibiscus plants as well as many other floral plants.  But this plant is right outside my crafting room window, and each time I look outside, I see the beautiful blooms.  This is the card I created from my inspiration piece.

Here is a photo of my inspiration piece:

While I was taking the above photo, I had a bee hanging round the flower.  Therefore, I included a bee on the Hibiscus on the bottom left of my card.  The Hibiscus flower and leaves were made with the ODBD Hibiscus Dies and ODBD Tropical Leaves.  I included pink prills on the Hibiscus stamen. The bee was made with the ODBD Butterfly and Bugs Stamp Set and Matching Dies.

To create the background of the card, I used several Hero Arts Distress Oxide Ink Pads to sponge on the sky and water.  Afterwards I used the ODBD Bon Voyage Stamp Set to stamp the Palm Trees in black ink, as well as the sentiment.  This stamp set is a great set if you like creating beach scenes.

To assemble the card, I created a black frame using the ODBD Pierceed Rectangles Dies to go around the beach scene.

My card base is black card stock to which I added a piece of pink card stock.  I attached the scene to the pink card stock and added the Hibiscus and leaves.

Please share your thoughts about my Hibiscus Greeting card!  I love reading your comments!

This card was selected for the Customer Card of the Day by Our Daily Bread Designs.  What an honor!!
