Two quick and simple cards for tonight! I was immediately inspired by the colours at the Play Date Cafe. Last week I was so excited to be the Cup of the Week at the Play Date Cafe for THIS CARD. Thank you so much ladies for choosing my card, you made my week!!! I also remembered Arielle's wonderful sketch at Retro Sketches...so I went to work. I pulled out some new Stampin' Up goodies...two new sets that I just purchased called Button Buddies and Friendly Phrases. I just love these sets and have been itching to ink them up! I took my inspiration from the polka dot tie and used some of my Bold Brights Designer Paper also from SU! I used Tangerine Tango and Melon Mambo. I LOVE Melon Mambo!!
Another first for me was using some SU! Bold Brights buttons. I got these through Sale-A-Bration and I have to say, I don't know what took me so long to try these! They are cute! Lots of white space and clean lines for this card. I really had a good time making it!!!
Well then I saw the challenge over at CAS-ual Friday and at the Mojo Monday and decided to use these stamps set again to create another Clean and Simple card with opposite colours from the colour wheel...bright pink and bright green (Melon Mambo and Lucky Limeade). I was so excited to have my name drawn last week for the MOJO Challenge! Can't wait to ink up my very first Verve stamp!! How wonderful indeed!
Beautiful cards! Impeccable stamping and fun sentiment!!
