The weather is nice again here in Kernersville NC!!  Let's hope it stays this time!    We have a pond in our backyard, and I went out yesterday to see the fish, and they were hiding so well I thought that some how they were gone!  Once the weather heated up, I went back out there and they were all there.  I guess they weren't too keen on swimming around since it was so cold!   I am going to jump out on a limb and say that from here on out it's going to be nice!   Now, let's hope that happens!

I used SU!'s Le Jardin Botanique and Oval All for the stamp sets.  Christine inspired me with a card she made, I changed up the colors and some of the design.  For the cardstock I used Kiwi Kiss, Pacific Point and Very Vanilla.  I used my aqua painter with the ink refills of Kiwi Kiss and Pacific Point to paint onto the stamp and then I went in and colored with the aqua painter after stamping so it had more dimension.  I LOVE these In Colors and the fact that the ribbon and Designer Paper  comes in these colors is so cool!!




The base of the card I stamped with the branch stamp from the set using Kiwi Kiss, and I also stamped it on the Pacific Point paper using PP ink.  I love the Kiwi Kiss Satin Ribbon, and the Designer Paper Walk in the Park.  I also used two punches, scalloped oval (from the Occasions Mini) and the eyelet border. 

You can buy this set simply by going to my Stampin' Up! website   and clicking on the button Shop Now, the cost for the stamp set is only $25.95 for a set of 6 stamps!  When you place an online order you also get a free Catalog worth $10.00!!  

I really love how this came out, and hope I have inspired you to handmake a card for someone you love.

Have a great Stamping Day!
