so many smiles begin with you

Here is card 2 from stamp club.  There was a request for mother's day cards at the last stamp club and I thought this card would work for that request.

stamps - petite pairs, spiral spins

inks - strawberry slush, smoky slate

papers - watercolor wonder dsp, smoky slate, strawberry slush

accessories - circle framelits, rhinestone basic jewels, stampin' dimensionals

you make the world a better place

This is one of the cards created in a monthly stamp club I hold with some friends.  We always have a blast talking and creating!  At last month's club I had requests for both masculine and father's day cards.  I thought this card fit both requests with the color scheme and the saying that was used.

We made 3 other cards as well and I'll be sharing those here within this next week/week and a half.  I hope you enjoy!

stamps - starburst sayings

ink- real red
