The lovely Heidi Smith designed our sketch this month and here it is:

Last April was the first time I had taken part in this blog hop and I used the retiring In Colours 2014 - 2016 for my card so I decided I would do exactly the same with this card using the retiring In Colours from 2015 - 2017, Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder. 

I used the In Colour paper stack in all the colours then I stamped 'For you' on a piece of Mint Macaron and die cut using the layering oval framelits, I matted this on top of Mint Macaron paper stack. I then stamped and punched three flowers using the Petite Petals stamp set and punch, sadly these will also be retiring at the end of May.

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope you like this weeks card.

The lovely Sally Shaw designed our sketch this month and here it is:

 I thought I'd be a bit rebellious this month and use balloons instead of circles! Here's my take on the sketch

I used the Lift me up stamp set and stamped the two smaller balloons in Watermelon Wonder and Peekaboo Peach and then die cut them out using the Up and Away thinlit dies. I used the Carried Away DSP for the banners. I used the sentiment from the Lift me up Stamp set. I finished the card off with some clouds and some Wink of Stella. 

I'm rather pleased with the finished card and I hope you like it too.

The lovely Sally Shaw of Sally's Stampers designed our sketch this month and here it is:

This was a tough one for me, sorry Sally, and I didn't like the first card I created so here's the second attempt.

I started with a base of Thick Whisper White and then a layer of Watermelon Wonder cardstock. Then I used two pieces from the Watermelon Wonder DSP stack, the text and the flowers. When I put the two strips of cardstock on my card I thought they looked a little lost so I added some 1/8" silver ribbon which I think lifts it. 

The sentiment is from the Garden in Bloom stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope you like this weeks card.
