Feb 21st Guest Design Team for All That Scraps

I can not believe how fast time has flown.  I have enjoyed every minute of my time being the Guest Designer for All That Scraps.  I only have 1 week left!!  The cards I have to share today were so much fun to make. I went a little outside the box for my first card today. I used Spring Brigitta Bouquet on this flip flop card.  I saw this type of card in the March edition of Card Maker, but I bet if you google flip-flop card you can find the directions. Let me know if you can't and I will post them here.
I used different My Mind's Eye papers on here.  I also used the Tags it Rubber stamp and die set to cut out the flowers.  I used AmyR Get Well Sentiments on the inside. 
You know these sentiments from AmyR have so much more than get well sentiments. This may just turn out to be one of my favorite sentiment sets ever.  Check out the shot from above.
OK, now this second card was also so fun to make. I used the Spring Kiki LaRue.  You know how much I love Kiki!!!  I used her twice! I love the look of featuring her on the inside of a card, just in a monochromatic ink.  I also used another sentiment from the AmyR Get Well Sentiments.  I used a Spellbinders Label 8  to cut out my card.  Again some fabulous My Mind's Eye paper for this one. The 2 sheets of paper I used are actually one.  The layer is the opposite side of the cardstock. One of the things I love about My Mind's Eye is that their paper is thicker and textured. Love it! It looks so rich on this card. 
I used my Copic Color Chart to find the BG's in the paper to choose the colors for her dress and headband.  Here is the inside of the card.    
And a close up of the sentiment.
And another shot of the front of the card. I used a bigger wild rose from Wild Orchid Crafts. And a Gold sheer ribbon bow tops it off.   This card just really showcases that great image and that fabulous paper.
  This card is going to go out in the mail today to a sweet blogging fried that just lost her mother.  Sympathy cards are not easy to make and sentiments are not easy to find. I think this one is perfect.
If you have time, head on over to the All That Scraps Blog and Challenges.  
Thanks so much for stopping by today.  So sad that next Monday will be my last as GTD.  I have had a blast!!
