When I saw this photo, I immediately thought of my favorite strawberry stamp. This is from Technique Tuesday and is many years old. I love the details in this stamp and I love to color it with my copics. It reminds me of all things summer. I used a TE stencil made for the mini slim card. I also used the foilable sentiments from TE and chose a teal to go along with the green family. I'm loving the way this turned out.

I will have to admit that these colors together are a little out of my comfort zone, but look how great they look. It reminds me of all the joys of summer. Water, fruit, sunsets and warmth. The design is a TE layered stencil made for mini slimline cards. I'm sure I'll use these colors again.

I was so excited when I saw these colors. An idea formed immediately in my mind and watching it come together gave me great joy. Of course this is not the first try but the best of all of them. I used TE papers and sentiment along with Spellbinders dies.

I am trying to get ahead of my Birthday cards. I love the colors for this week and the balloons really inspired me. This frame is from MFT and the sentiments from TSOL. I made them very sparkly but they do not show up in this photo. I used navy for my background and love the way it all came together.

I was looking to make a manly birthday card and the tag idea struck my fancy. I used an old die set, stitched wide tags along with some brick red cardstock and some navy to make this card. I think it looks very manly!

I really wasn't sure about these colors, but once I got started, I fell in love. I did add green stems and leaves, but since black is one of the colors, I used it for my neutral!
