Happy Monday Ladies!
This week will be very busy for me. I am in the middle of student teacher observations so things are busy. I worked this weekend to get ahead with with some cards to post this week so I should be in good shape.
This week our challenge at Late Night Stampers is all about Spring. We were to use flower stamps. I have a ton of flower stamps so the key for me was choosing the one I wanted to use.
Over at Techno Stamper we have a great sketch to use.
I have to say my card did not turn out like I had planned it. I originally had stamped the flowers all over the background in different colors. I was then working on the images for the strip and the strips. I kept looking at the background piece and I did not like it. It was not the look I wanted. I then decided to switch gears. I tried stamping the flowers in black and then laying down blobs of color. I liked the look of this better so I went with it. Here is what I created using both challenges.

I hope you will think about playing along with both of our challenges. We love seeing what you do with our challenges. Thanks for looking and have a Marvelous Monday!

Love it! Great job.
Great card. Love the technique and colors!
This is really pretty, Robbie. I love the technique, and the colors are so soft and springy. It would look good for Easter too. Thanks for the inspiration, I need to get some of my flower stamps out. Hugs.
Robbie what a beautiful card! I love the fact that you made your own paper. Beautiful!
Very pretty – very Spring-like!
Beautiful, love this technique with those soft colors. I sometimes have a hard time making the colors blend nicely–you did a great job. Thanks for being always have such fabulous samples for both my sketch challenge and the LNS challenge too!
Beautiful card! I love the layering of flowers, some stamped directly and some cut out. A great Spring card!
Beautiful background for your flowers!
Gorgeous card Robbie, congratulations for being on the blog finds of the day.
