We recently found a new vet and I gave her this card I made a few weeks ago from the Trick or Tweet stamp set. I thought is was a cute and appropriate card to give to a veterinarian and would be appreciated. She like it so much she ordered 10 more cards for employee appreciation day. I cased my earlier card to come up with this version. Yippee! Another WIN for handmade cards.

Autism Awareness Blog Hop
Hello and welcome back. I am posting again today in hopes to bring more awareness to autism and autism research. This fun group of talented paper crafters are creating projects to help bring information and awareness to you. Below you'll find links to the blogs in this Hop. Along this hop you'll find tons of fabulous ideas and a boatload of information surrounding autism.
My card today uses a fun new stamp set, Animal Outing from Stampin' Up! that will be available to purchase June 1st. This set was gifted to me at the most recent Stampin' Up! demonstrator event. Yep, I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and love this companies products. I find there is always a product to fit a specific need. I feel this stamp set is a perfect set to use for my card today.

Petal Palette - Global Design Project Color Challenge #GDP121
It's COLOR Challenge time! I can't wait to see how you all interpret the color challenge that the Global Design Project has for you this week. It's bright, cheery and feels so fresh.
My card features the Petal Palette stamp set and Petal Passion papers from the Occasions mini catalog. Full supplies are listed out below. I've used this stamp set so much already. It's a total fav!
This card is all about MARKERS! The flower image on this card is a combination of the Designer Series papers (hand colored) and the stamp set. I used my Stampin' Write Markers to color the designer series paper, and to ink the stamps. The larger flowers are colored in Sweet Sugarplum and I went over them quite a few times to increase the color saturation. I like how the Sweet Sugarplum appears a little darker on these flowers. I also used my Peekaboo Peach marker to color the White Taffeta ribbon. There is so much you can do with a good marker.
Are you ready to play? Check out what the team has created on the Global Design Project blog and show us your stuff! Happy stamping and see you next week.
