Jody's card swap

 This was Jody's swap at the Spring Into Stamping meeting.  I love how she was able to use the designer paper as her focal point and just add a flower and some ribbon as accents. 

Karla's card swap

     I have loved every card I have seen made with the Happy Watercolor stamp set.  Karla's swap is simple but very elegant with the color variety she achieved with the background stamp.  I am thinking she maybe inked the stamp one time but stamped it several times without reinking.  Makes it look like she used 3 different colors.

Template Tuesday- Downline Color Challenge

     At the October meeting of the Super Snails people shared the results of last month's challenge.  The challenge was to use Midnight Muse, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, and one other neutral color in your card.  This is the final results of the card that Nan shared. Can you find her extra neutral color?  It is her black candy dots on 3 corners of her card.

     I love how Cindy used the colors as each petal of her flowers.  That took a lot of time and patience.  Her neutral color was Basic Grey.

     I had fun making this card using the circle thinlits card maker.  My neutral color was Crumb Cake.

     One of my favorite parts of using this thinlit is that you get to design the inside as well as the outside of the card.  I am interested to see what the rest of my downline will do with this challenge.







    

Best of Flowers for Easter

     What do you like most about Spring?  Looking out the window today I think it would have to be the flowers.  I just hope all the flowers that started to poke their little heads above the ground are not going to be ruined by the biggest snow storm of the season.
    This is year 25 for StampinUp and each month they come up with a Best of stamp set that is made up of favorite stamps from the past 25 years plus one new never seen before stamp set.  This sunflower is from the Best of Flowers stamp set and boy would I love to be able to see one right now.

Supplies needed
