Oriental Flower Swap Cards

We're having a swap over on Speedy TV and these are the cards I made for the swap.  The April theme is "flowers" and since it's an oriental swap set, I just had to use the Japanese cherry blossoms image and some fan background paper. 

Here's the free stamp set you will receive if you participate in the swap

I hope you have a wonderful long weekend.  I have to work today, but we don't open until 11am.  I have to take Winnie to the groomer before I go to work.  Great, she gets groomed and we have a foot of snow on the ground!  Doesn't make a lot of sense, huh?

Happy Stamping!

Speedy Fox & Friends Blog Challenge~~Sponged Circles

This week's Speedy Fox & Friends blog challenge is to sponge some circles on your card.  I sponged the bubbles by punching a 1/4" circle in a piece of card stock, and using a sponge dauber to make the bubbles. 

Stamps:  Wealth in Friendship
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Calypso Coral
Ink:  Calypso Coral
Misc:  ribbon, 1/4" circle punch

I hope you will join us for this fun challenge this week!  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a good one.

Happy Stamping!
