Happy Wednesday!  This week I really caught up on all of the cards that I needed to make for my swaps.  Today I'm sharing another card that I made.  For this swap we could create any card we wanted and so this is what I came up with.  I used a retired Stampin' Up! stamp set, but this is one of those sets that I would never part with.

This was a real quick and easy card to make so if you're ever in a pinch and you need to make a card quickly, this would be perfect.  You could always change the sentiment to suit your needs.

I began by stamping the blossom flowers first with the pretty in pink ink and then I used rich razzleberry for my second color choice.  Then I stamped the stems using old olive first and then pear pizzazz nest.  I didn't even use my stampa-a-ma-jig to create this card; I just stamped away and sort of tried to line up my images as I went along.

I decided to add a bit of sponging along the edges of my card using rich razzleberry- can you tell I love this color!?  And to finish off my card, I added my ribbon and sentiment and that's it!

I have a few more swap cards that I made to share with you all the next few days so be sure to check back later.  Remember I'm also giving away some great Stampin' Up! blog candy once I reach 200 followers, so be sure to spread the word!  Thanks for visiting!
