Blended Bloom

I struggled creating a card using this stamp set.  The image does not have leaves and the cards I have seen online are "missing" leaves.  I decided to offset the image, like I did on THIS posting.  After I colored the image I didn't care for the white space and a stamped sentiment made the card 'meh.  I am happy with the final card even though it took an hour to fill in the white space.

Auburn Football Fans

Found this paper for a steal and couldn't pass it up.  I started with a blank canvas, the color very similar to Stampin' Up!'s Brilliant Blue (now retired).  I wanted something cheerful and selected Pumpkin Pie as my "pop" of color.  The beautiful colors of Auburn University in Alabama.
