Make It Monday #57 Colored Kissing



Hi there, Happy Sunday!  I hope you are enjoying a day of warm, spring weather as we are here in Arkansas.  I've begun to see a few butterflies already and lots of the early spring colors are popping out.  Along with Heather's MIM video, all of this beauty has inspired a bright and bold card today. (You will have to scroll below the countdown info to find Heather's video on Nichole's blog.  It's well worth the trouble!) 

   
I confess to being intimidated by the Modern Basics stamp set for a long time.  I've had it since it's release, but only used it one other time.  This challenge seemed like the perfect opportunity to try it again.  I'm glad I did.  I hope it prompts a smile for you today!

Product details:  All Papertrey Ink
Stamp sets-Modern Basics, BB: Retro, Think Big Favorites #12
Card Stock:  Spring Moss, Dark Chocolate, White
Ink:  Dark Chocolate, Aqua Mist, Spring Moss, Summer Sunrise, Berry Sorbet
Other:  Brown LePen (outline of sentiment box), corner rounder

I hope the remainder of your day will be pleasant and restful as ALL Sunday afternoons should be and that it is the beginning of a great week for you.

Thanks for stopping by,
Suzanne
