It's a Saturday morning and my turn to share a card over at Make the Day Special blog and this week I decided to use a 'new to me' stamp set called Spunky Nature from My Cute Stamp, Emily stocks so many different stamp companies I thought I'd try something different from the shop..
The bold solid designs and the paired leaf pattern immediately made me think of the gorgeous repetitive patterns by Orla Kiely so this is my nod to her using the colours at ColourQ this week.
Next week I will be starting my Girl Friday duties over at CASual Fridays...eek, so exciting :0).. so this week I'm playing along in the players gallery for the last time, why don't you pop over and join in too.
James still wants the washing machine in operation everyday without a thought to how I'm going to dry it all so consequently my house looks like the proverbial 'Wishy Washy's' laundry because we have no tumble dryer either!! I'm not sure Wishy Washy would have a mountainous ironing pile though.... tut tut...can't blame the weather for that though *wink*
Thanks for looking in today :0)

Raining here today Jenny x
Great card Jenny, love the colours and fab stamps. I think the rain is natures way of saying we don't need a hosepipe ban! lol xx
ReplyDeletegreat card! the colors are so happy and springy...they go perfectly with the stamps. good luck with the laundry - sending sunshine your way :)
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, I don't know what I'd do without my dryer...even when it's sunny we get so many mosquitoes in the yard that they'd likely eat the clothes! Had to laugh at the ironing...we just don't do that around here ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the bright fun colours of the card, and of course the perfect sentiment!
We don't have a tumble dryer either. A clothes horse was by far the cheaper option! This is such a bright and cheerful card, but I'm really looking forward to seeing your cards as a Girl Friday and not just in the players gallery!
ReplyDeleteVery cute Jenny. I love the distressing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sunny card Jenny, isn't the rain a bit of a pain? Still it has to help with our drought LOL Gay xxx
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet card, love that image.
ReplyDeleteI love your bold colours on this lovely card Jenny. The background leaf panel looks great with the soft distressed edge. I hope its stopped raining!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card, Jenny, love all your stamping! Thanks for joining us this week at the ColourQ and sharing your card.
ReplyDeleteso cool, totally reminds me of orla's designs ... love the flower, cool little bit of seventies retro!
ReplyDeleteVery cool design. Can't wait to see you over at CAS Friday's next week. I fell off my chair when I read that you don't have a dryer. I have even more admiration for you now.
ReplyDeleteLove this!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing at CAS-ual Fridays!
Laura
Such a bright, cheery card Wishy-Washy (sorry - Jenny) unlike the weather :0)

Jenny - I love the how you incorporated to color challenge into your card. Those solid image stamps are great! And of course, you can't go wrong with that sentiment. Great card!
ReplyDeleteI'll trade with you in a heartbeat!! After the sky turned all thunderous and dark this morning we had a sorry little 5 minute sprinkle to show for it. Not good for the tank so we have to bite the bullet and order water. Blah!
ReplyDeleteI love your fun and cheery card! This colour combo totally stumped me but you have rocked it! :)
What a fun card, love this colour combo too!
ReplyDeleteThis is so bright and sunny, Jenny. Surely we'll get some real sun soon. Keep your wellies on! x
ReplyDeleteHey - look at you with your coloured card base Jenny! It looks fab - I love the Orla Kiely style and it's a fabulous use of the colours. I'm with you on the rain front - I think I'm getting Seasonal Affective Disorder! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteJenny, this is awesome!! I love that subtle vine image behind the fun and cute flowers. And the colors in this are super fun and creative!! As always, you've blown my socks off!! Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays! We're so glad you did!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Just a few more hours before we get to play TOGETHER!! So excited!! XO
