I ordered new stamps last Friday from Taylored Expressions, and they arrived yesterday! What else could I do but get them inky? And I'll tell you what... if you've ever debated ordering from Taylor, don't debate anymore! I ordered these stamps on Friday (on a new release day even!) and these stamps made it from California to Ohio in 5 days! Talk about excellent customer service! Taylored Expressions gets a gold star in my book today!
I pulled out some new Bloom & Grow paper from My Mind's Eye to complete this card, and just love how it turned out. This is a favorite color combo for me, too! I hope you like it!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a good one! (It's almost Friday!)
Stamps: Branching Out (Taylored Expressions)
Cardstock: Navajo (Bazzill), Tangerine Tango, Cool Caribbean, Confetti Cream (Stampin' Up!), designer paper (My Mind's Eye)
Inks: Momento Rich Cocoa, Versamagic Turquoise Gem (Tsukineko), markers (Copic)
Accessories: ribbon (Creative Impressions), flowers (Prima), gemstones (Hero Arts), Nestabilities (Spellbinders), oval punch (Stampin' Up!), Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder (ProvoCraft).
Love your card. Last night we received news that we will be heading to Cleveland Clinic in a couple of weeks. My son will be having some testing done and then possible brain surgery for epilepsy that can't be controlled with medication. I said all that to say that looking at your card today made me happy. I am learning to treasure small things and let people know how much I appreciate all they do. Your thank you card reminded me of that. I love the colors.
Have a wonderful day.

Your card made me happy, too, as I love these colors and always (sigh) covet your gorgeous DP! Reading Pam's post made me realize that we SHOULD treasure our loved ones, our relationships and the gifts God gives us, usually right under our noses! I hope her son has good news from the tests. And you have a great day!
Hugs,
LeAnne
