Clean and Simple

This is another stamp set that I just purchased at Buffalo Stamps and Stuff.  That store is so amazing and I am so happy that I live so close to the border so that I can get there frequently.  This set is from Avery Elle and is called Banner and Wreath.  I just love the simplicity of it.

I stamped it on whisper white, coloured the flowers with prismas, fussy cut and applied with glue dots.  The little cluster of flowers worked just perfectly on the envelope flap.

Happy Monday

Happy Monday

Although it is officially spring, the weather today was anything spring like but rather cold and snowy.  I heard today that this was the most snow we have had at this time of the year in over 40 years.  Regardless of the winter weather, I decided to share a very spring like card today.

I stamped and embossed on vellum and coloured the image on the back with prismacolour pencil crayons.  The stamp and die set is one of my favourites from Simon Says Stamp and is called Roses For Your.  The paper square was die cut with Simon Says Stamp stitched square dies.  The paper is digital from Pink Petticoat (sadly now defunct) and the "have a beautiful day" stamp is from Hobby Lobby.

I hope you like my card.

I decided to make another card for the Pals Paper Arts 294 challenge.  This is the one that I am going to submit as I was unhappy with my other two tries.  It is very simple using the Garden in Bloom stamp set which I absolutely love...it gives you the look of watercolour without the watercoloring...and blushing bride card stock and stamp pad.  The black ink is Memento.

I hope you like it and have a great Sunday.
