Growing Green Anniversary

Well, I have been laid back about posting things on my blog lately, but I have a pretty card to show you today.  I've been looking for ideas for cards for my next stamp a stack and came across this card...at least this is my version of it. :)



I don't case a card very often, but I was looking for an anniversary card too while getting my stamp a stack ideas and loved the colors on this one.  Not too bright for the guy, and not too masculine for the girl.  I might even end up using it for my stamp a stack too, who knows. ;)  This came from Deb Fearns and you can check out her card here. I must say she has the shadowing effect down a lot better than me!   I just sponged and spritzed my flowers.  I guess I need to take some classes or study up on that technique a little bit!  If you like this stamp set you might want to look into buying it because it's on the retired list!  I love the flower from it that I've cut out...and I've done it quite a few times.  I hope they have something similar to it in the new catalog!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

RHSSC17 - Growing Green

Happy New Year!  I guess this will be my first post for 2012 and it's for the Red Hot Stamper's sketch challenge.  I decided to use a couple of In Colors for this card.  Kind of funny that the stamp set I used is Growing Green, but the card is all blue. lol  Head on over here and check a few other cards out.





Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Growing Green ~ For You

Well, today is starting out sunny and bright, and that's a good thing because the fair is going on around my little part of the world.  We always look forward to it, but it also means summer is going to be coming to a close in just a couple of short weeks.  I'm not so sure I'm ready for summer to be done yet this year.  Seems like it just got here!  I did manage to get a few nice pictures of the sunset on my birthday, so that should help me remember we did have summer after all. ;)  



Anyway, Today's card is one that I made for my last stamp a stack and also for a card swap with The Red Hot Stampers.  


Not sure if you can tell or not, but I have shimmer paint on the flower.


Every now and then I like to make the inside almost as nice as the outside. :)


Thanks for looking and have a great day!
