Hello Beautiful!

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card.

This design was inspired by the clean and simple challenge at Double Trouble Challenge, the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches and the color pop challenge at TGIF Challenges.

This was a really quick card to put together. Just a quick trip to the Big Shot to emboss and die cut the one label, a bit of stamping, and the blending brush on the background to give it some definition. Easy peasy! (I had to add those Iridescent Rhinestones though. They are my new favorite embellishment!)

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Tulip Fields Birthday

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card.

This card is for the sketch challenge at TGIF Challenges and this week's board at Tic Tac Toe Challenges (bottom row - die cut, spring colors, floral).

I used a sample in the January-June Mini Catalog as inspiration for this card. This was my first time to ink up the Tulip Fields stamp set - when I first saw this in the catalog, I knew I had to have it! I think I'm going to need a bit more practice to get the "wedges" evenly spaced though.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Blossoming Basket Birthday

Hello and welcome back! I've gotten behind on my cards again - this seems to be a recurring theme. Anyway, here's my card for today.

Lots of challenges this week are looking for spring-themed cards, and I think this one is definitely springy! I'm entering it in Freshly Made Sketches, Just Add Ink, Paper Players, and Tic Tac Toe Challenges (middle row - coloring, spring, basket).

The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Birthdays, but this card could just as easily be used for an anniversary.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
