Make it Monday - Still Stamping!

Hey friends!  Today, I wanted to share another card I made for Mother's Day.  My theme this year is "Paris in the Springtime".  I challenged myself to see how many different cards I could come up with from just two stamps.  You saw that cute little bicycle stamp here, and this week, I'm using this lovely dress form, from Unity Stamp Company.  Love the vintage feel mixed with the modern and so feminine hot pink and animal print! 

I am having so much fun playing with these new stamps AND seeing how much of my stash I can use up!  I want to send a huge *hug* and big thanks to my girl Donna K, over at Created by DonnaK for inspiring me to branch out into the world of stamps. 
 
I don't know that I'll ever give up my stickers just yet, but I do like the flexibility of stamps.  Soon, I'm gonna break out the copics that are just gathering dust in my studio LOL! 
Are you a diecut, sticker or stamp lover?
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Paris in the Springtime ~ Mother's Day Card

Bonjour my lovely friends!  I'll bet you card makers have already started getting your Mother's Day ideas put together.  I wanted to share one of the cards I made as part of the batch I'm sending to a floral boutique in North Carolina.  The theme for Mother's Day at the shop is "Paris in the Springtime" and at first I was completely at a loss.  I'm trying to use only what I have available on hand, and the best I could come up with was some scrap paper with the Eiffel Tower on it! 
 
Sooo, I got some ideas for colors and style from, you guessed it, Pinterest.  I put the colors together with some Unity Stamps I just got.  I decided to *challenge* myself and see how many combinations I can come up using just the 2 stamps.  Here's the first one.
 
Not my usual dimensional stickers, I know...does it make you think of  Paris?  More pictures to come next week!
 
Thanks for stopping by!
