My first card uses The Vine, by Melanie Muenchinger. I used a strip of Cosmo Crickets newest paper and a few Spellbinders die templates for this card. The bling is from Want2Scrap. I first tried coloring this image with my copics, but as I have admitted before, I simply cannot color well. I think my preference for white space takes over as well, I didn't like the look of the flowers colored in as well ;)
Next up is a super versatile set from Tami Mayberry named All Occasion Tags. Great sentiments and images that are meant to work with the Spellbinders Grommet tags. I was channeling Tami here for this card, she has a way about her clean and simple cards that I can't duplicate!! I stamped the sentiment on to the card repeatedly (using my SAMJ to keep it aligned) and like how it turned out- no need or patterned paper here!
thanks for stopping by!!

I really like how you did the border with the sentiment on the birthday card!
i gave you shout out yesterday for your cards published with "Candles on Your Cake"!! :) hugs!
I agree with Melanie - Using your sentiment stamp for the background border is very clever and really brings out the focal sentiment.
Simply beautiful, Bravo.
Love the repeated sentiment border and that little splash of black! Pretty floral too!
I think you did a fabulous job with clean and simple. Pretty cards and very eye-catching.
Wonderful cards, AJ. I like how you used the stamp to make the border in the middle of the card, wonderful idea.
Well, you know what a huge fan I am...I will be CASE-ing the Birthday card immediately!!
Great cards, AJ! Love them both! Great display of CAS.
