Hello my friends! I've been a busy teacher bee this week, subbing all over the place in my town. I am so happy to get some work! In between gigs, I was able to make a few clean-and-simple spring cards to share with you today.
What made these particularly easy is that the floral/leaf die cuts were already in my Scrap Boxes, just waiting to be paired together.
All I needed was a fabulous sentiment to create this set of cards, and I used one from Flowers Bloom by Inspired By Stamping.
There are 6 oh-so-lovely sentiments (as well as the flower images) in this set, and I rely heavily upon it. :-)
Each flower got a touch of iridescent glitter glue. Just a smidgen.
I'm glad I had several of these chrysanthemum die cuts on hand, and they came in different colors: deep plum, periwinkle, and lilac.
Challenges:
Thanks for letting me share my stuff with you today! I hope you are doing well in your little corner of the world. :-) I hope to do some blog visiting soon.

Beautiful die cuts and the font on that sentiment is sooooo pretty. Love the purple base on the first card.

Hi Colleen: I just LOVE the gorgeous shades of purple - they really look amazing. I also happen to love Lady Bird Johnson (one of the classiest First Ladies of all time). Thanks for sharing your gorgeous art with us this week. Have a blessed week and please come back to join us again soon.

What a gorgeous collection of cards, Colleen! Love those die cuts and sweet sentiment! So inspiring and lovely! Have a wonderful weekend, hugs!
Isn't it fun to dig into those scrap boxes and make some really pretty cards! Glad you're busy in a good way but still find time to craft! Hope all of you are well.
These are beautiful, Colleen. I love the clean lines of your designs. Blessings!
Lady Bird was a woman after my own heart with her campaign to beautify the country. You've brought a little spot of beauty to my living room today with these pretties. Love them both!
