CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF914

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge colors are Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, and Granny Apple Green.

These lively, bright colors are perfect for floral images, so I put them to work on the beautiful Flowers Fair stamp. You can use it as a background stamp like I did last Saturday, or choose just part of the image, as I did here, to make a flower border.

The Crumb Cake stripe is part of the Brushed With Beauty DSP, and there's another pattern with the same colors that makes a great background! I stamped the greeting from A Round of Hellos directly on the DSP so it would circle the flower.

Since Stampin' Up! doesn't have a Crushed Curry Stampin' Blend set, the work-around is to layer Dark Darling Duckling and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends for a perfect curry!

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Spring Has Sprung

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Spring Has Sprung, and I think it finally has, though we may get hit with another cold snap before Mother's Day. (Fingers crossed we don't!)

I chose the lovely Flowers Fair background stamp so that I could use all the SU purples on it because purple and yellow are so Spring-like. If you like to color, this stamp is so much fun! I've already colored more images to use on future cards.

And with Spring come the bees, which I am always happy to see busy on our fruit trees and blueberry bushes. So naturally I had to add lots of those little pollinators! 😊

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori de Groot at Loritamarie Crafts.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF913

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch:

I just love the adorable Cutest Crew bundle! And how could you not have The Best Day frolicking with your canine and feline friends?!

The dog and cat stamps have longer images, so I carefully inked up just the part I wanted to use before stamping and coloring.

The calico kitty didn't turn out quite as I wanted, but I think it's still cute. We have not a single calico among our seven cats. Tortoise shell, Torbies (x 2), Gray, Black, and two Gingers that are the sweetest, most affectionate boys. I love them all!!!
