This Week in Cards - August 2nd week

With so much of my energy focused on my tropical card set I didn't have much time for extra cards this week.  I did complete a few Clean And Simple ones though that I thought turned out pretty cute.

I really love the simplicity of this card but still showcasing some fun stamping.  I love the way the black "ink spots" pop off the clean background and I really think these colors look great together.  I used stamps and dies from WPlus9 and My Favorite Things.

I made this pretty princess card using a stencil and stamp that I've had for a long time but have never used.  Mainly because they both stumped me.  I fell in love with the sentiment on this stamp and honestly it has been displayed in my craftroom  more as a decor piece than a working stamp.   Once I came up with the idea to cut around the shoe and pop it up off the card as an embellishment the plan came together fast.  I thought it would be the perfect card for a bridal shower or engagement.  And check out that fantastic silver sparkly paper from My Favorite Things!  LOVE IT!

This last card kind of steps away from the styles that I'm most comfortable with.  Lots of patterns, stamping and coloring on this card.  I went with a checked background stamp from My Favorite Things and a cute little cherry stamp from Sizzix.  Then I found this adorable little Art Impressions bunnny stamp last week that I just had to have.  I admit, it's quite a bit smaller than I had anticipated which meant I had to break out my glasses when it came time for coloring with my Kuretake real brush markers.  I can't wait to use that bunny for a few Easter cards in the spring.


And this right here is why I loved that bunny stamp.  Isn't this adorable?!!


Thanks so much for hopping by.......I mean stopping by!  We'll see you next week!
