Here's my card that I created for the hop.

I was inspired by Shannan's Viva La Verve sketch a week or so ago. Those slanted panels looked like a starburst of some sort. Talking with my friend Karen she reminded me of the Up, Up and Away set and how fun it would be with that idea. So I decided to go with a rainbow of colours around the card rather than to the side. BUT it was Shannan's original layout that inspired me. I went ultra simple on this one. Adding some hand cut grass and some felt clouds. The sentiment layer was cut with the Charming Oval Die and stamped with a sentiment from All About You.

I'm tickled pink with how this one came out :)

Stamps: Up, Up & Away, All About You; Cardstock: White, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon, Wild Wasabi, Bashful Blue, Purple; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Atyou Spica Pen, Bashful Blue Striped Ribbon, Oval Nesties, Charming Oval Die, Dimensionals

And since it's a new month, that means we've got a new Stamp of the Month to reveal!

In May we're featuring the sentiment set, Dare to Be. With 5 uplifting and encouraging sentiments, this set is perfect for graduation, congratulations or just a little pick me up. Or pair it with the To the Moon, Chicks Rule or Lucky Ducky sets for perfect little love notes to tuck into a lunchbox.

And at 40% off during the month of May, Dare to Be is a pretty big deal!
