Happy Little Stampers - January CAS Challenge


Hello...a quick post with a bit more smooshing. This is another piece that I did at Darnell's house and she was such a doll and let me borrow this fabulous tulip stamp, just love the way it looks with the pinks and oranges. I also copied Darnell's idea for making several cards from the smooshed piece. I used Asian Fusion for my sentiments, it was the perfect size and font to use with these beautiful tulips.  I am entering my card in the January CAS Challenge at Happy Little Stampers, my dear sweet friend Joyce is their guest designer so I had to play along. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your weekend!





Instead of showcasing my favorite cards from last year I am sharing all the wonderful and incredible cards I received from my sweet blog friends for Christmas. I can't bring myself to put them away, I love looking at all them, so much talent all in one spot. Thanks so much for all the beautiful cards.
