Good Monday Morning to ya = ) ! Isn't this a fun color combo? So crisp and clean. Lavender Lace, Going Gray, Basic Gray & Whisper White :) !! Quick post today, to share a couple cards...The first one is for Beate's weekend sketch, WSC42...great sketch and perfect for my new Think Happy Thoughts stamp set. Also used my new Twill background stamp. I tried a little trick that Cami did with this BG stamp... I stamped the Twill BG stamp once vertically, then re-inked, turned the stamp horizontally, and re-stamped. It makes the background look like gingham! Isn't that fun? I don't know about you, but sometimes it's hard for me to make a card without DP. For this card, I made my own DP using the little flower stamp and the twill (good to remember...yes, we can make cards without DP, it IS possible, lol!). I thought white eyelets would look great with this crisp clean little card, but they ended up looking too plain. So, I popped some tiny self adhesive rhinestones in the centers, and it brought them to life and coordinated nicely the the purple rhinestone brad I used with the sentiment =)!!For this next card, I used a lot of the same supplies, but switched to the Blooming with Love set. I've really enjoyed this set and especially like this little watercan image...there's a sweet simplicity about it. I stamped a couple flowers in and around the can then stamped that same flower image around the edges of the sentiment piece~

I love the gray and lavender! Very soft and pretty looking cards.
Have a great day!
Both of these cards turned out so great!! I love the color combos, and even more so I love the inspiration of making background/designer papers, your eye is so keen in that department!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Sweet, crisp and simple card designs using such a beautiful color combo. Maybe Jeani and I will be able to CASE....we are all having a blast. Going to the beach again today :-) TFS your beauties......
Beautiful cards! I like the color combo. I'm new to your site, what is a Divine Design Bible challenge?
I really like that grey ribbon. I need some! Great cards! I'm inspired to do something with purple and white.
Just love that first card, Nancy! Well, I love them both, but particularly that first one! I really should try some square cards... never have, but I think it's time. Oh yeah, it's time. :)
Beautiful colors! I love the clean design.

Nancy, your cards are so pretty. What a great color combination! Thanks for the inspiration! :)
just love these colors!! The cards are beautiful
Great cards. I very rarely use any purples in my cards. I think I will have to try this. Thanks for sharing.
Very cute, I NEVER use lavender, but after seeing these, maybe I will force myself to step out of my box!!
Love that Twill background, too.

This card is so peaceful! The colors are wonderful!
Oh Nancy! This color combo is incredible! Both cards are so springy and fresh .. love them! Thanks for the tip on the Twill Background Stamp .. I didn't know you could create gingham with it (I love love love gingham!).
