Spring Fling Swap Part Two

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends - HOLY BUCKETS ...... Did we have FUN at the Spring Fling yesterday or what!  We made some AMAZING PROJECTS - PLAYED all day long with stamps and ink (what could be better?) - and did some serious LAUGHING with 12 of the most amazing ladies you could ever want to know in Arizona!  Needless to say ........ We had a blast at Di Gibbs Spring Fling Event. 
 Here are my second swap cards just waiting to leave SaddleBrooke and head up to the Mesa area for the Spring Fling Event.  I made four versions of this card for the swap ...... Let me share those with you now.......
I wanted to make 50 of this card to swap - and knew right out of the gates that doing 50 of the same color combination would not hold my interest for long - so I created four different color combinations  and think they all turned out GREAT!
The first color combination I made was Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo. 
I used the new Mixed Bunch stamp and Blossom punch and created two layers for my flower.  I also used the Tasteful Trim BigZ Die for my zigzag trim at the bottom of my card and ran my Whisper White frame through my Big Shot and created a Perfect Polka Dots embossed background that was perfect for this card.  The center of each of my flowers I added a 3/4" circle punch and spread Crystal Effects across the entire circle to create the shiniest center to each of my flowers.  PERFECT little touch that added no extra time to assembling my cards ...... Except the time it took to dry the Crystal Effects!
 This is the Rose Red and Regal Rose color combination.
Don't you just love love love how fabulous the flower turned out on this card!  I added the sentiment from the Field Flowers stamp set and matted it with a couple oval punches and called this one DONE!
 Here's the Pacific Point and Bashful Blue color combination .....
 Seriously BEAUTIFUL!
 And the Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze color combination ........
 Very Rich and Regal looking .......
Love how all four versions of this card turned out - and I'm hoping that this punch and stamp set makes it into our new catalog in July.

Thanks for joining me today - I'll be back tomorrow to share my FU Group cards for February - The ladies did some amazing projects this month and know you won't want to miss any of those.  Hope to see you tomorrow.  Keep Living Your Dream!
