Wonderous Wreath - Fall

Absolutely loving this stamp bundle.  I never would have thought this would turn out to be one of my favorite stamp sets, but when I started seeing the possibilities this has become one of my favorites.  I hope this stays around for a very long time.

I know this is designed as a Christmas set, but I just love how it looks in bright spring colors.

Wonderous Wreath

This is one of the most versatile stamp and framelit sets.  At first glance, you would only think Christmas.  On closer examination you would realize as I have, there are so many different ways to use this set.  I have been looking around on Interest and I have found some wonderful samples. I will be posting cards made with this set over the next couple of days.

I have decided to attempt a few card challenges.  There are many card challenges out there.  Some are sketch challenges, color challenges, theme challenges, who knows how many other types.  This card is from retrosketches.blogspot.com.

Fabulous Florets #2 - Thinking of You

This is my second card featuring the stamp sets Fabulous Florets and Gifts of Kindness.  The background is stamped with the two matching flowers in Crumb Cake on Very Vanilla cardstock.  The focal image is inked in Garden Green.  I used a baby wipe to remove ink from the bud and colored it with a Rose Red marker.
