Friend!

Hello there!  It is cold and dreary here this morning.  Boooooo!  Doesn't look like the sun has any intentions of even trying to shine today.  Don't know about you, but I sure would love to see Spring make an appearance and actually stay around longer than a day! LOL On that note, I decided I better make my own sunshine, so I headed into my stamp room and made a bright and cheery card!  Take a look:

I wanted to use a few more items that we will be saying goodbye to at the end of May.  I used the Garden In Bloom stamp set.  It is one of my very favorites and I will really hate to see it go.  My card base is Chocolate Chip and my layers are Tutti Frutti DSP, Whisper White and Pear Pizzazz.

Garden In Bloom is a beautiful two step stamp set that allows you to color in the outline images with the solid stamps giving you a watercolor look.  Easy peasy and sooo pretty!!  I stamped my background piece with the small flower and leaf stamps and then went back and stamped in the color!   I stamped one large flower outline, stamped in it's color and then fussy cut it.  I used the  Lovely Words Thinlits to cut out the friends stencil looking image and added the flower to it.  Finally, I tucked a leaf sprig behind the flower that I punched out using the leaf punch. 

I layered the friend image over a strip from the tutti frutti DSP pack.  I wanted to carry the color combo throughout the whole card.

Here are all of the goodies that I used to create my card today:


I am trying to get my stamp room all organized and cleaned up this week.  It is a big job!  I tend to be a collector of all things craft-y, so there is stuff everywhere! LOL  Wish me luck!

P.S.  If you don't hear from me for a while...send in some reinforcements (and some chocolate!!)!  Thank you kindly!

I will be back soonest with lots more to share!
