Spring Cottage Flowers

Hi,
Today's post will be short because I want to go outside and enjoy the lovely spring weather. For the sketch for my card I went to Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch 248. I really wanted to use my Cottage Garden stamp set. It's one of my favourites and I don't use it often enough.

Here's the sketch:













Here's my card:

Razzle Dazzle

Hi there! I hope that everyone is enjoying the warmer weather. Yesterday was very hot and humid,
but today is much more pleasant. This card is like today's weather - bright and cheerful. I am entering this card in three challenges. I am using the Mojo Monday 193 sketch and Colour Q's colour challenge. The third challenge is Hand Stamped Sentiments' technique challenge #69 to incorporate paper piecing into the design of the card. As soon as I saw the colour combination I thought immediately of the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP. I was so happy to be able to use this DSP again.

Here's my card:

Here are the details:

CS: Melon Mambo, Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White

DSP: Razzleberry Lemonade

Stamp Set: Cottage Garden

Ink: Soft Suede

Embellishments: Crushed Curry 1/2" Polka-Dot Grograin Ribbon, Designer Button (Pumpkin Pie)

Tools: Paper Snips

Cottage Splendor

Happy Tuesday,

I hope that the weather is cheery where you are because it's been cold and wet here in London, Ontario. I know the rain is good for the flowers, but we need more warm weather. At least this card makes me think warm summery thoughts. I love how Cottage Wall coordinates with Cottage Garden. I recently received Cottage Wall from my clearance rack order from Stampin Up! and I couldn't wait to use it. It's a bonus that it uses one of my favourite colours - Rich Razzleberry. I don't think I'll ever tire of this DSP or stamp set. For this card I am doing another card challenge. I'm back at The Paper Players for the challenge. I just love the clean lines of this sketch.

Here's the sketch:
