Live, Laugh & Love!

Hello again!

I have a card to show you!  I have been mojo-less for a little while, and hopefully that has ended.  I will be working on organizing my craft room finally, as well as circle journal layouts!  I intend to be caught up with that by the end of the week.

Anyway, for the card I used Stamping 411's Saturday Sketch #145, and Arielle's colourQ challenge #27...


Tangerine Tango!  I haven't used that color since it had retired, and I was so excited to break it out for this card.  If you haven't heard or didn't read my earlier post today, Tangerine Tango will be joining the core color group... woohoo!  I'm not sure though if the ribbon will be available again, but I can't wait to see what SU! has in store for us with the new Idea Book & Catalog in July!  I am also VERY excited that Soft Suede will be joining the Neutrals Color Collection, as it's one of my favorites!

The card's pretty simple.. I stamped flowers from the Petal Pizzazz stamp set in Tempting Turquoise, Tangerine Tango, and Night of Navy, and cut them out.  I also stamped the sentiment using my Tangerine Tango ink pad and the Night of Navy Stampin' Write marker.  The Trio Flower Punch makes quick and easy accents to place along the bottom.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a wonderful day!
