Does this card have a format that seems familiar to you? This is a swap I got from my friend Cheryl. She and I have a similar style in stamping, simple and appealing. Notice the background she used on the card. Looks like 3 colors but it is the same color stamped 3 times but inked once like this other swap I posted last week.
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.
Another Jubilant Butterflies swap from Mary. I like how she used the tag topper punch to create a special way to close the card. I just have to learn how to do that. I hope that Mary will demonstrate that at our next meeting.
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.
When I went to the Spring into Stamping in Champaign at the beginning of the month this was a swap I was given created by Rhonda. What I love about this swap in the different designs Rhonda made with the same shape. She added some clever elements to each hexagon.
I will be heading to Ohio tomorrow to help my daughter get her house ready to sell, and to walk in the MS walk to be held in Cincinnati on Saturday. I can't get the internet at her house, so I am posting some of the swaps I have received recently at events. See which ones you like the best.
I received this swap at the latest Jubilant Butterflies meeting from Chrissy. What I love is how she overlapped the flowers to make them made the front edge of her card.
Most of the events I attend have an option to swap card fronts with other stampers. I like to take advantage whenever I can. This adorable card was one of the swaps I got recently at the Jubilant Stampers meeting. Ann made the card. I don't think I would change a thing. Can you tell what is used for every single part of the owl sun bathers?
THE OWL PUNCH of course.
The bows are the hearts
The bathing suit bottom is the bottom of the owl with the feet cut off
The top of the bathing suit is the largest eye from the punch.
All I have left to say is LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! Thanks Ann for such great inspiration.
