Thoughtful Branches Springtime

I may definitely have to recreate this project.  When I first saw the card I thought Sue had used the Baby Wipe Technique for the multiple colors.  In this technique you simply squirt ink refills onto a baby wipe to make your own inkpad.  However when I looked at Sue’s blog she said she just used sponge daubers to sponge the different colors directly onto the stamps.    Once again I say “gorgeous”!

I can’t help but smile when I look at this card.  Do you ever see a card like that?  Yesterday I finally started playing with some of my new “toys” that I ordered from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  I started with one stamp set and made two different cards.  I can’t wait to share them with you….one of them, if I do say so myself, is absolutely gorgeous (in my humble opinion).  I guess you’ll have to check back on my blog to see it.  It won’t be this week because it’s still “Thoughtful Branches Week”.

I have a busy day ahead of me and I’m not sure I’ll have time to play with any of my new toys.  Bummer!  Oh, well….there’s always tomorrow!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
