Red, White, and Blue Stripes with Circles

I made this simple layout in red, white, and blue to try a new striped stamp set.  The strong lines and circles work well together.

Card details:

• Card stock is Papertrey Ink (PTI) enchanted evening (dark blue), pure poppy (red), and stamper's select white.
• Dies are from Spellbinders standard circles small (plain circle) and PTI limitless layers: 1-3/4" circles (scalloped circle).
• The stripes are from PTI background basics: random stripe (retiring), and the sentiment "thank you!" is from Fiskars so much thanks, stamped with PTI pure poppy and enchanted evening inks.  I used a white gel pen to add the center dot. 

Created for Operation: Quiet Comfort.

Pink Flowers with Green Rickrack

I've been on a break from card making for the last few weeks, so it felt good to finish a small batch of cards to write notes for our church shut-ins.  Lots of bright spring colors.  I like the rickrack die as a green hill for my trio of flowers. 

Card details:

• Card stock is Paper Source blossom (medium pink) and sunshine (yellow) and Papertrey Ink (PTI) new leaf (green) and raspberry fizz (deep pink).
• Patterned paper is from PTI mint julep (light green) bitty big pattern pack.
• Dies are from PTI pencil blooms and PTI XL rickrack border. 
• The flower centers are cut with an old 1/4" hole punch.
• The sentiment "hello" is from Hero Arts many everyday messages, stamped with PTI raspberry fizz ink.
