Inspired By Stamping Day

I got to thinking about the stamp sets that I get.  With a lot of these sets, they come with tiny images that I never seem to use.  What a waste!  So I challenged myself to use a few of these tiny images from a couple of Inspired By Stamping sets; Chalkboard Birthday and It's Your birthday.

 As you can tell, I used the small square and diagonal stripes, the tiny [so adorable] balloons and a couple of the scroll images.  That was fun actually taking full advantage of these sets.

And of course I am not finished!  I loved the colors over at Card Concept 14 and the sketch at Sweet Sunday #227 worked perfectly with the colors!

[I believe this is the clean and layered look for the CC challenge]  I used IBS sets; Background Basics III, Beautiful Iris, and Fancy Labels 3.  I am loving these colors together!

The purple and the lime on the first card is a winning combination, Vicki and I love the black stamping on the blocks. The scrolls are stunning and I do love the little balloons and the two kraft circles. Great idea to use those little stamps one tend to forget about, hey!!!

The little flowers on the second card is just so sweet and really work so well here!! I love the black bg to let the other colours pop so nicely!! Love the frame stamp and the sentiment.
