CASology Week 136: Basket

Good morning and happy Tuesday.  It's time for a new cue word at CASology, and this week it is BASKET.   What do you think of when you see the word BASKET?  Easter basket, basketball...I thought of a picnic basket, and pulled out PTI Vintage Picnic which has not seen much ink lately (or ever, really).  I created a get well card with a basket of pretty spring tulips.

I hope you will play along with us this week, and show us how you are inspired by the word BASKET

CASology #57, Make it Monday #129, and a Sympathy Card

As soon as I saw the cue word 'Picnic' for this week's CASology challenge, I knew just which stamp set I would use.  Would you believe that I bought Vintage Picnic over 3 years ago, and am only just using it now.  Shame on me, right?

My next card today is for this week's Make it Monday #129:  White Crayon Resist.  When I started making this card, I had something completely different in mind.  But, when my daughter saw my stamped panel, she asked why I was making a snowflake card in August.  I saw that she was right--the flowers colored with white crayons against the Spring Rain sponged background looked like snowflakes.  So, I went with it, and turned it into a holiday card.  I added stamped centers in Blueberry Sky ink and Ice Stickles.

Sometimes I forget that I can make a card just because I want to.  Do you ever do that?  I felt like trying out my new Meadow Greens set, and my sympathy card stash is a little depleted, so that is what I did for my third card.

I will be entering all three of these cards in this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Make the Cut.
