I created a 6x6 card. I used paper from my stash. I wanted to highlight the beautiful eggs, so I used a robin blue paper behind the two eggs. I propped one egg up. I did use an organza ribbon and two sweet sentiments.

Who doesn't just love a cute little gnome? The gnome named Girl Window Gnome by KLM Digital Designs. Gnomes are all the rage this season. I just can't get enough of these adorable gnomes.
For this image I created a 6x6 card. When I look at a stamp I often see a story. This little girl is looking out the window and thinking about sunshine and flowers. Even though Christmas and the New Year just passed, I can feel spring right around the corner. I wanted the card to feel warm and inviting, so I selected purple, lilac, pink, and a touch of teal. I colored the ribbon purple to match her hair ribbons. I think the stamp is just adorable, and I hope that you enjoy my card.

Happy New Year! I am so excited to start 2020 as part of the design team for KLM Digital Designs. I wanted to showcase how versatile these digital stamps are to use. I created two cards with the Mailbox Greetings stamp. Not only did I create two cards, I used copics for the first card and spectrum noir markers for the second card. I wanted to show you that you can use whatever alcohol markers you have on hand, and your cards will come out just beautifully. The stamps from KLM Digital Designs are absolutely adorable.
I created a 5 x 7 card for this stamp. I printed the stamp at 3.5 inches. I made a frame with paper from the Everyday pack by American Crafts. I used the sentiment "Just a Note" from KLM Digital Designs. I used a brad from Doodlebug to compliment the paper and the colors that I selected for my image. I used a red paper and green paper from my stash to create a mat.
Copics Used:
Mail box - W0, W2, and W4. I also used C4 and C5 for the screw and R14, R24, and R27 for the flag

Leaves - G03, G05, and G17
Bluebirds - B14, B12, and B00
Grass - G17, G05, and G03
I created a background with clouds using Pool Party from Stampin Up and Squeezed Lemonade from Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I simply made a template from a scrap piece of paper to create the clouds. Always use what you have on hand to create your cards. You don't need the latest and the greatest to be creative. I created the same background for each card.
Spectrum Noirs used:
Mail box - BG2, BG3, and BG4. I also used IG6 and IG7 for the screw and DR1 and DR 2 for the flag

** When I do not have a low, mid, and dark tone, I will blend to shades together to get a third color. Never be afraid to experiment with the colors that you have on hand to come up with a blend that works well with your images.
