A Few Cards for Today



 by Lexi

Hello and a happy Monday to you! I have one card for MIM and one just for fun!
 I love this little set by Lexi and needed a get well card , so I just used the same set created and used by Lexi. 



I made this one over the weekend with my Purple Onion Designs stamps. I was pleasantly suprised with the size of the picnic basket and tray of treats. Since Im not the best with overall coloring, like I do many times, I left the large image uncolored .  I colored the smaller images and then fussy cut them out and added Nuvo Crystal drops.
I had so much fun creating this card I made a few at the same time.

  3. Such clever designs Marybeth! The sequins as steam is genius and the coloured and popped up picnic against the black and white image of the background is truly inspired!! Have a fabulous week my friend! Hazel xx

  7. What lovely cards!! The first one I really like the steam "sequins." Such a cool design element. The second one I like that you left the black and white, with the coloring of the small images. Looks fantastic!

  14. Both are fabulous, Marybeth! That soup set always makes such wonderful get well cards. The PO card is so adorable! I was glad to see the size of the picnic stamps. I had imagined them to be much smaller. Love your coloring!

  17. What a treat to find two cards in your post today. Your cards are always inspiring and these are no exception. They're both fabulous! I love that you left most of the second card uncolored. That really makes the other colored elements pop and I really love the overall look! I adore the first card too. Don't know why I never got that set...

  19. Love your sweet get well card, and wish I owned those stamps. Your picnic card is so much fun in black and white with pops of colour. Your scene is all set for Yogi Bear to zip into frame and steal that basket!

  29. These cards were an absolute treat to see! And I disagree when you say that you aren't the best at coloring because it looked pretty darn great to me! And what a clever concept to leave a large part of your card uncolored! I would've never thought to do that, but it creates a really neat look where the colored parts pop even more. I think it's genius and I shall have to try this technique myself! Thank you so much for the inspiring projects and for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

  30. Marybeth, both cards are super. Your "feel better" card would definitely boost one's health with such a delightful card. Your picnic scene with partial coloring is simply divine. Great job as usual!
