Hello hello. I love this new Hero Arts Flower Shop stamp, but I had no idea how long it would take to color! I am pleased with the results, however, and will do it again someday when I have lots of free time. This card makes me happy, and also feels to me like a spring day. I am linking this card up at A Blog Named Hero: Floral, Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Beautiful Blossoms, and The Paper Players #531: Spring.
Aren't these frogs cute? I wanted to pull out some frogs to play along with Festive Friday #79: World Frog Day....who knew that was even a thing? I have frogs, green and insects for this challenge. It was actually hard to choose which frogs to use for my card, so I may be back another day with some other frogs. I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday #209: 3 Shades of Green, and Fusion: Green challenge.
Is it birthday time or cocktail time now? How about both? I was inspired by the sketch at MFT Sketch Challenge #531, which I rotated, and the colors at MFT Color Challenge #161, and I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #400: Die Cuts/Stencil.
Last up is a card using PTI Bitty Bouquets, which follows the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #475. I am also entering this card at Ink to Paper Melissa's Fab Friday challenge to make a Love card, Addicted to Stamps and More #400: Die Cuts/Stencil, Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Beautiful Blossoms, The Paper Players #531: Spring, and Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge: Three of a Kind.
Thanks for Visiting

ReplyDeleteGreat design choice to use a strip of patterned paper, looks so stylish. Thanks for playing at AAA Birthday, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
ReplyDeleteAt first glance, it does look like the HA stamp wouldn't take so very long to colour - until you take a closer look! It's beautiful the way you've coloured it, though. I love the reading frogs! Fun colours for your adult beverage birthday card - this set almost came out the other day, until a snarky cat won out. ;) Pretty floral cards, I do like the colour combo. And... thanks for playing at Seize the Birthday, Addicted to Stamps and More and Happy Little Stampers!
ReplyDeleteBoth your cute little frogs and your store front flower shop are both so wonderful Joyce! I have not seen either stamps before! I can only imagine the variety of supplies you have in your work space. Thanks for joining us at Paper Players and Seize the Birthday! Take care!
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job coloring the flower shop background. I love the soft colors you used! Absolutely beautiful!
