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'!
