When my Mojo fails me I generally troll the web for inspiration. It seldom takes long before a color combo, an embellishment, a LO, something will get those Mojo juices flowing and I will create something of my own. When I saw this card by Linda Nelson I fell in love with it as is. I couldn’t think of a single way to put my own touch on it without ruining it. Even the color is perfect for the person it is intended. I have substituted some of the supplies as I didn’t have everything Linda used on hand. I think Linda’s card is absolutely gorgeous and can only hope she likes my take on it.
And while the stamp and color pencils were out I made this card. I quite like the pairing of the Roman Bath EF and the MS Arch Lattice with the Cherry Blossoms image.
Anyone who knows me knows I am a died in the wool tight wad. I shop sales or use coupons for everything. I must confess when I saw this Rubber Stampede Cherry Blossom stamp I couldn’t resist it. I simply HAD to have it. It is the only stamp I have ever paid full price for. That was years ago but I still feel guilty for not having waited for a sale or till I had a coupon to get it.
Lots of scraps/snippets were used in the making of these cards so I'm headed over to the playground to share with Di and the Snippetters. You too could be a Snippetter. How? Create something, anything, using scraps/snippets of cardstock, ribbon, yarn, anything you may be tempted to toss and you are a Snippetter. Take it to Di’s virtual playground and join in the fun.
Thanks again to everyone who stops by and especially to those who take the time to leave a comment. Each and everyone is appreciated.
Blessings

ReplyDeleteBoth so very pretty cards and I do have to agree with Di. Your little pink card is a further reason for having to get the stamp. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteBernie, both cards are beautiful. I love the cherry blossom stamp. I'm sure you will find many uses....Very nice love the pink!

ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful case card and they're both gorgeous creations, Bernie! You're on a roll.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, really terrific cards, Bernie!! I love everything about them both!
ReplyDeleteYou know your phrase for those who go over to Di's and join us on the playground, in my twisted mind, reads like this: Please join us and become a Snip petter. Which would beg the question (from me alone, I suppose), "What is a Snip and is it safe to pet one?"
Hugs!
Darnell, Jim wants to know why I am laughing. Girl you really crack me up.
