She adds the lady with a bouquet of tulips from the Loads of Blooms stamp and coordinating die set which she places on a vellum circle using the Circle Frames die set.  She matches her sentiment banner with her card base for a bright, refreshing card!

Diane's FAVE

Joyce M.  repeatedly stamps the ice cream cone and cherry from the Summer Scoops stamp set for her fantastic background.  The lavenders and green is a fabulous color combination.  For her sentiment, she embosses in white on a black card stock.  A wonderful way to celebrate the summer season!

Sue's FAVE

A. Rose  designs a watermelon slice card base in red and greens. She adds some black seeds as well as one overly large seed featuring the watermelon-lovin' kitty from the Newton's Melon stamp set.  Seeing Newton eating watermelon while "inside" a watermelon is a creative way to celebrate summer!

Diane Morales creates an amazing square card using the Frames Squared die set and a coordinating bookmark using the Fancy Edges Tag die set.  Using the Floral Fringe stamp set, Diane uses the challenge colors to shade the flowers. Don't you love the black-eyed Susans?  

Sue T. creates this amazing spring card by cleverly combining sets. She uses the Frames & Flag die set to create her center panel and adds the bubbles from the Bokeh stencil set.  Those lovely coral flowers are from the Easter Lily stamp and die set. She places them in the watering can from the Hop Into Spring stamp and die set. Using the banner die from the Frames & Flag die set, she stamps a sentiment from the Dainty Daisies stamp set. 

 Becky Noelle combines elegant with cuteness with her card. Starting with texture paste with the Hardwood stencil on a mint card base, she adds a lattice frame on which to display the kitty peeking out of his boots from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set.  Her coral-colored flowers coordinated beautifully with the twine. The black banner (Frames & Flags die set) with it's white embossed sentiment from the Woodland Spring stamp set provides a nice pop of contrast.  {sigh}

Crystal Komara creates a gorgeous peony card using the Peony Blooms stamp and die set. The coral flowers go so perfectly with the mint ribbon and mint gingham paper. Sparkly rhinestones giving it a extra special touch of sparkle!

 Debbie Owens was inspired by the bicycles as well as the colors in the challenge photo. She creates a little country scene using the Cloudy Sky stencil with glittery embossing paste and the Land Borders die set for the hills and grass.  She scallops the edges using the Frames & Flags die set. The main attraction is the darling kitty zooming on his scooter from the Newton Scoots By stamp set. Sprinkle in a  few flowers from the Newton's Valentine, twine, and a black speech bubble with white embossing from the Speech Bubbles die set.  Sweetness!

Create a project using the challenge colors-Coral Pink, Mint Green, White, and Black.
