And just like that- it's already May. And what a May this one will be!!
For our blog this month, we're finishing our April Showers with May Flowers theme! So I'm playing some more with my Sending Smiles set. I used a different flower image this time, and I inked up the larger leaf too. So it's totally different from last week's cards, haha!
My projects are based on the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches (altho not slimline) and since the new catalog begins TOMORROW, I have a goodbye to the retiring In Colors thanks to the current SUO Challenges blog

I have absolutely loved those colors that are on their way out, but I am liking the new ones too. And it's fun to play with new shades! However, I have noticed a rather intense divide in response to the new colors. I surveyed my kids, haha, and they like exactly which colors I thought they might. What do YOU think of the new In Colors?
Now hop on over to Tricia's blog using the button below and see what May Flowers she's got for you! Then let us know what you think of our work too! Everyone loves feedback!
Great cards, I love seeing the retiring colors and the new colors together. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful cards with this stamp set. I love how it the design is transformed with the different color combinations. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to say goodbye!! Love your card! Thanks for playing at SUOC!!
ReplyDeleteLove this set and it's perfect to showcase new colours. Thanks for playing with us over at CAS Colours & Sketches!
ReplyDeleteThey're both so sweet and lovely! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CC&S!
ReplyDeleteTwo pretty cards, Tanya! Though I must admit I like the brighter colors better ;) That Pale Papaya card base just makes the card feel fresh and springy. It's going to take a while for the new In Colors to grow on me (if they ever do). Thanks for playing along with us at SUO Challenges!
