Taylored Expressions April "Blast from the Past" Blog Hop

Happy Wednesday, everyone!! Welcome to this month's Taylored Expression "Blast from the Past" blog hop!! This month's theme is clean and simple...and I decided to use one of my tried and true themes/designs for it....rainbows!!

I often use a similar design concept when bringing the rainbow theme into a card, and it just happens to really work well.  Here is what I created!

"Friends are Flowers...." supplies:
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (white) & Bazzill Basics (yellow)

Stamps: Taylored Expressions (Friendship Blooms set) 

Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: scarlet, orange, canary, lime, aqua, heliotrope, raven black) 

Jewels/Button: Doodlebug Designs

Twine: May Arts

Corner Rounder: EK Success

Instructions:  Fold white cardstock in half to make card base, and round the bottom corners.  Stamp the flowers in a rainbow pattern across the top of the card, and accent the middles with a matching colored jewel.  Stamp the sentiment to a yellow cardstock strip, and cut a flag shaped end.  Adhere the sentiment strip to the right side of the card.  Tie a twine bow through a button, and then adhere to the sentiment strip to finish. 

Speaking of rainbow cards, if you frequent my blog at all....you might know that I created a fun rainbow themed card using twine for the Lawn Fawn release of "Smitty's ABCs".  Well, that card got a bit of recognition, and I wanted to share that with you.  First off...it was a daily feature in the 2Peas gallery on the day it was posted, and then Kristina also included it in the April 12th Newsletter!!  There also happened to be a twine challenge at Wee Memories that same week, and I entered the card in for it. 

Well, I was picked as the "Top Hoot" and won a prize package from The Twinery!!  Yay!! Who knew one little card would be so popular...you just never know what people are going to love!

Anyways, be sure to check out all of the rest of the blogs on the hop...I know that I am about to grab a cup of coffee and sit down for a bit!!♥♥♥

Until later,
