Nance and The Paper Players have a fun color challenge for everyone this week. I feel honored to get to stamp in Jaydee's place this week. :) Thank you ladies for including me in the fun! These are some of my favorite colors, but I'm not sure I've used them all together before. It was fun to pull them all out and see what came to mind. I am in love with my new Fun Flowers die and I can't stop using it! I want to put those flowers on everything. :) I thought they would be perfect for this challenge. I didn't go clean and simple, but I was inspired by the sketch at Clean and Simple Stamping.
My other favorite thing lately is to use a mix of embossing folders on my cards. I think the different textures add a lot of interest and keep your eye moving to take it all in. I even added in some crimping this time. Lesley inspired me to finally purchase one, so you'll be seeing more of it soon.
