So glad you’ve joined us for today’s inspiration hop!
First up is my card using Dogwood and Butterfly by Theresa Momber. Isn’t it gorgeous? I wanted to make a card using the spotlight technique on this card (makes it easier when you don’t want to color a whole bunch but still make a card’s image stand out! I went with soft colors (Bubblegum cardstock) and added some light pink silk ribbon.
Next up is a set of cards I made using Tami Mayberry’s new set Label Borders. This fun set coordinates with a lot of Tami’s other sets, so you can mix & match sentiments in the rectangle or use dies over the center to have a different look. Check out the stamp reveal thread from the release party for Tami’s tips!
I made monochromatic clean & simple cards for this card set. I could have left well enough alone with all the white space but when I was creating with all the release sets, I was totally in a sponging mood so I sponged away!
Lastly, this is my card (also sponged again) using Friends are Flowers stamp duo. I used one of my favorite techniques kraft magic. That is where you stamp on kraft cardstock and color in with colored pencils. I used white & green prismacolor pencils.

Beautiful cards. Love how you spotlighted the images in the dogwood card.
You did a great job on all of these.
Donna - the dogwood card is stunning and I love the friends and flowers card. Looks more like canvas then kraft cs. Super job.

Hi, Donna, I will have to look up how you did that spotlight technique. I also love how you stamped right on the kraft paper :) I have learned a lot from your creations!
Your cards are very nice. The dogwood card is so pretty. The spotlighting is a very nice touch.
Pretty, pretty cards, Donna. Love the techniques you used, the spot light one looks fab, and I don't think I have ever seen/heard of that Kraft technique.....how'd I miss that? :)
That spotlight is absolutely perfect! Great work!
I LOVE your use of "spotlighting"!!! Gorgeous cards all of them!!!

I love all 3 cards but I particularly like the colors of the dogwood card and the highlighted pop up in the center
Wonderful cards Donna! Really nice effect with the spotlight; and I must try the kraft magic technique!
Very pretty cards. Thanks for sharing them.
Love the spotlight on the dogwood bloom. The border labels made some great CAS cards - thanks for sharing yours.
Yet another reason to finally make the investment in kraft paper!
Wow, I love your Kraft magic, the colors, layout and stressed edges. Nice set of cards using the Labels set, great versatility! Pretty colors on the dogwood card, neat spotlight effect. I will have to remember that to try it when I don't want to color a whole image, which is often so many of my stamps are just not used. This would be a great techy for me to try!
Beautiful cards. I love what you did with the dogwood.
Beautiful cards. Love the design and colors that used on the cards with the Label Borders set.
My favorite is the cards set! Simple and lovely! TFS!
