Happy Friday and welcome to this week's Friday Flashback! I randomly picked a fun springy stamp set today, Flower Fancy. Let's visit the archives, shall we?
I remember thinking this color combo was never going to work (it was an SCS color challenge) and then being pleasantly surprised with it when I actually got my card made. I also used the still-current Four Frames and Pursuit of Happiness.
I like the flowers on this name frame, but I'm less sure of how much I like the cut-out Broadsheet Alphabet letters. But I like the bright colors! You know me, I love-a de bright colahs!
Here's one using my favorite Baja Breeze *sniffle*! Fear not, I have quite the stash of both 8.5x11 and 12x12 cardstock to keep me company. I was surprised how well it went with Island Indigo and Rich Razzleberry, this is one of my favorite cards!
And here's today's creation:
I went with some springy colors for today, and I picked out the two stamps I hadn't used yet in this set. There's no sentiment on it so it can be for Mother's Day or a new baby (I always thought this color combo would be cute for baby girl cards) or just hey friend, I'm thinking of you. I was inspired (or should I say INKspired?) by the latest challenge at Inkspirational:
Obviously I just went with the sketch and chose my own colors :) And I moved the bow to the bottom of my image because it just didn't work on the top like in the inspiration pic.
That's it for me this week, y'all have a great weekend! We leave early tomorrow morning to spend a couple days in Amsterdam. I know, tough life right?! Happy stampin'!

Blooming Wishes
Monday again already...hope your week is off to a good start! This Thursday I'm leaving to spend 2 weeks in Texas for my birthday, so I'm excited :) But first I've got a birthday card to share:
I admit, if I get a bunch of stamp sets at the same time, sometimes it takes me a long time before I actually use all of them. I got Blooming with Kindness when SU! had that one-day 20% off all stamp sets sale last October and just got around to inking it up. I knew its time had come when I saw the latest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches:
This card will be going to a friend of mine who loves the color red. While I love color in general, my personal favorites are definitely on the cool end of the spectrum--green, blue, purple. But I have fun with all kinds of colors so Katie gets her pink and red card :) My mom doesn't like pink and red together but I think this kinda works!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Supplies (all SU!):
Stamps: Blooming with Kindness, Parlor Prints
Ink: Real Red, Early Espresso, Pink Pirouette
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Neutrals DSP Stack
Accessories: Brights Glimmer Brads, corner rounder punch
