My first card features the sleepy, peaceful cat and uses the new In Color Rich Razzleberry along with a favorite of mine Old Olive. I did a lot of stamping and cutting to add dimension to this card and as you will see later eve delete part of the picture. The only thing wrong with this picture is that the cat is in the chair not me!
My second card is a very simple card using Soft Suede and Bella Blue Designer Series Paper. I added some pizazz with the butterfly - punched with our new Butterfly Punch. I had planned to watercolor card too, but ended up using markers to color the stamp and then I stamped it on watercolor paper. The only part I colored in was the bird. I liked the simple look with the different colored flowers.
My last project for the blog is a bookmark card. I placed the sentiment on the card and again on the bookmark. I like to frame cards like this and so I didn't want the sentiment to disappear with the bookmark. I love these because they're quick and easy gifts, but ones with a very personal 
touch! This design idea was cased and I will provide more details including a link to the instructions following the blog tour.

In this case I used Le Jardin with card number one, card number two was strictly this set and my third project included the sentiment from Sense of Time and the background from the new set Paradise. I actually found three different sentiments from three different sets to go with this sleepy peaceful cat in just a quick look through my stamps. I'm always amazed at how the stamps work with each other and expand our stamping horizons.
