Song of Spring

Happy Sunday Ladies,

This card was a real challenge for me. I bought this stamp set because I wanted to get away from just buying flower sets. Well when I got it, I didn't like it. This is only my second card with this set. The challenging thing for me was coloring the bird. I looked in the catalog to see what colors they used for coloring it. It was hard trying to blend the colors together. I should have used the pastels instead of the ink. I like the final outcome of the card. I think it's cute. Have a wonderful day.

Supplies:

Spring Song ss; Close to Cocoa, Rose Red,Chocolate Chip & More Mustard CS; Close to Cocoa, So Saffron, Dusty Durango, Rose Red & Old Olive ink; Scallop Edge & Scallop Circle Punch; 1/4" Rose Red & 5/8" Chocolate Chip grograin ribbon

SU Sisters Challenge # 4

Happy Friday Ladies!! Slowly but surely I am trying to catch up on the challenges. For Challenge #4 we had to make a card that was not a square, rectangle or a diamond. This is what I came up with. I was going to make some sort of a circle, but I couldn't find my blade to my cutter! I guess I cleaned a little too good when I cleaned out my stuff :0).

Supplies:

Spring Song & Itty Bitty Background ss, Close to Cocoa & Very Vanilla cs, Close to Cocoa, Black, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive ink, 1/4" Chocolate Chip ribbon.

OK. I usually don't post 2 things in a day, but I just had to post this card. I have had this set for a while and I just mounted it. When I saw it at first I wanted to send it back because I didn't like it that much. Since most of my set seem to be flowery I wanted to get something different. Well, I decided to make a card with it today. I'm pleased with how it turned out. (Click on the card to see the bird and the flower. I cut them out and used dimensionals. It's hard to see on the smaller pic.)

Supplies:Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Rose Red cs; Bella Rose DSP; Bashful Blue, Rose Red, Old Olive and Stampin Write Markers; 1/4" Old Olive grograin ribbon; dimensionals; ticket corner punch
