When I saw the colors for this week's Color Challenge #358 at CAS Colours & Sketches, I knew I just had to make some cards using the Blooms Fill-in Stamp Set. This background stamp set is rather time-consuming, and since I tend to mess up sometimes, I decided to make several backgrounds at once - and I only messed up ONE. YAY! I'm glad I had a not-so-perfect panel to cut this bloom from because how can you destroy a perfectly stamped background?? I also created several plaid background panels to coordinate with the blooms panels. I used one to mat my front panel (which is really three separate pieces -- I accidentally cut the Tangerine Tango paper too short, but then I realized if I cut it in half, I could place the patterned paper over the gap between the two smaller pieces. Save!). I popped up the blooms with foam, added the die cut 'You' and finished with a green sentiment. Hoping to make a few more cards with the other panels...stay tuned!
