With the beautifully drawn bouquet, the bright colors, and the pretty ink blended patterned papers...this suite does all of the work for you! You can even use the small floral stamps and coordinating dies to spotlight the bouquet with.

TGIFC214 - Create A Set

Hello and welcome back! It's time for this week's TGIF Challenge, and this week we focused on Create A Set of cards. It's such a great idea to create a few extra cards when all of your supplies are out and your creativity is already working! You can use the same layout or the same colors or the same stamps and papers so you don't have to reinvent the wheel as you create.

I wanted to play with the Balloon Celebration Photopolymer Stamp Set again before it retired, and I wanted to feature effects and the same set of colors.
