Happy Snapdragons

Mornin' y'all and happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there.  My spawn is currently playing video games while the hubs makes us breakfast : )

I have a nice floral card to share today:


Y'all know that with a blog called Snapdragon Stamps that of *course* I bought Inspiring Snapdragons last year.  Up to now I've always done them in pink, but they come in a whole range of colors so today I chose dark red.  Say hello to the Retro Rubber Challenge:


I asked the Google and snapdragons bloom in the spring and the fall so they count : )  Inspiring Snapdragons is just one year old, so not as retro as I usually do for this challenge, but the stamps and dies hit the last chance list a few weeks ago at a deep discount so go check that out if you're so inclined.

I used this week's CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch:



And I'm hoping to squeak my card in before the deadline at Creative Colour Challenges:



And one more for good measure, check out the Festive Friday challenge:


I used red, white, something shiny (the Low Profile Dots are very shiny IRL but it surprisingly doesn't show up much in the picture), and stitched edges.  I got out the Radiating Stitches dies for my layers.

Okay kids, I get to have waffles with strawberries and cream for breakfast.  Have a great day and don't forget to check out yesterday's Nancy Drew post, I'm still excited about that!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Inspiring Snapdragons, Charming Duck Pond
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive
Paper:  Petal Pink, Cherry Cobbler, Thick Basic White, Cherry Cobbler & Old Olive DSP
