A Happy July 4th to all!!! I'm hoping this long holiday weekend is restful and safe for all of you!
Our blogger challenge this week was to create a card using the color blocking technique. I recently got some yummy papers from Amuse Artstamps that I've been anxious to use--they turned out to be perfect for this challenge!
The card base for this card is Naturals White from SU! The bird, birdbath and oval stamps are all from Amuse. I didn't realize my birdbath was crooked until after I scanned the card-bummer! The idea to use my stamp-a-majig actually did flutter through my head....wish I would have listened!
The tag stamp is from SU!'s set A to Z Accents and the "for you" is from one of Papertrey Ink's label sets.
Because that paper is so yummy, I really didn't want to waste any of it, so I also made this card:
All stamp images are from Memory Box and colored with Copic markers.
It's late and the baby has really been tuckering me out lately so, I'll say....
TTFN, Jane
I adore how you have the little bird on the thanks sign. Both of these cards are wonderful. Great job on this challenge, hope you have a great 4th.

I agree that is Yummy looking paper. Great use of it on both cards. I never could use a Stamp-a-ma-jig (challenged in that manner). Great images as well.
