More Treasures

Each of these cards, using the September stamp of the month Treasures, is its own little treasure! I am fortunate each month to participate in a stamp of the month swap in my unit. (In a swap, you make x number of identical items- in this case 8- for that many different items back.) Our requirement this month was to use Treasures and the new Sweet Home paper pack.









Bridget's soft card reminds me so much of the end of summer, how the flowers fade, brown, and dry beautifully.



Can you believe how creatively Pamala used the "thank you" stamp to create the flower petals?






Can you see Taralyn's bling? This little 3"x3" card is the sweetest.










Camy uses some ink-credible distressing techniques on her card. I love that little peek-a-boo corner. The soft wispy blue flower behind the sentiment is lovely.

Chris used liquid glass to highlight "sunshine." The dandelion seeds float across the middle and show up well in "real life."







Isn't Tonya's emerging color technique beautiful? She is a very precise cutter. I doubt I could have cut out those images so well!



Carla's card reminds me how nice a "haphazard" card can look. I am such a linear person, and this lovely card is one of the reasons I love to swap. I would have never come up with something like this, and doesn't it work beautifully?
