Happy Mardi Gras card / H2H challenge

This week's H2H challenge was to use gypsy, creme brulee & black.

They reminded me of New Orleans and Mardi Gras (which is this coming Tuesday), so I added a little green and came up with this Mardi Gras Card:

I'm not sure exactly what happened with the upload of this picture, but the card is actually square.  Also, the gypsy cs looks blue in the photo, but it really is gypsy.  The background creme brulee cs is tone-on-tone stamped with small fleur-de-lis images CTMH's Legendary Moments stamp set.  The large fleur-de-lis on the bottom left is also from this set.  The fence and moon & star (representing the crescent city) are all from CTMH's Fright Night stamp set.  (I'm always proud of myself when I find an alternative use for a holiday set--this one was a Halloween stamp set.)  The umbrella is from the Springtime stamp set, and I paperpieced the top and added bling, some old sassy strands, and one of the punched out fleur-de-lis from the background edge punches (by EK Success).  The small green B&T paper strip at the bottom is from the Lucky paper pack.  Here's a look at the inside of the card:  I used CTMH's small Friendship alphabet and Be Yourself stamp sets.

  TFL! and Laissez les bon temp rouler!

Veranda collage birthday card

I used CTMH Veranda papers and TEN stamp sets on this birthday card.  The colors are Cocoa, Tulip, Creme Brulee, and Garden Green.  The stampsets (all CTMH) used are:  Make It Count ("You only live once...," clock face, tone-on-tone numbers), Butterfly Kiss (tone-on-tone butterfly), Neighborhood (car), Star Power (wings), Life is a Party (drink glass clock hand), Welcome Home (flower pot clock hand), Treasures ("Make a wish" and tone-on-tone flowers), Code It (barely visible bar code), So Sweet (bird), and Springtime (umbrella).  The card pattern is Diamond Duo from the Originals cardmaking book.

Bunny Cards

The bunny on these cards is from the Bunny Love stamp set.  The colors are Sunny Yellow, Citrus Leaf, Ocean, and Watermelon.  The hibiscus is from Extreme Happiness, and the umbrella is from Springtime.  The sentiments are from So Sweet, Fringed Phrases, Bunny Love, and A Little Everything.

The white mats were all embossed with different cuttlebug folders.  The sparkle on each bunny's hat is Stickles.

Springtime Card

This rainy day card was made mostly from the new CTMH stamp set Springtime.  It's based on Beth Atma's "Rain Boots" card from the Dec/Jan issue of  The Stampers' Sampler, although she used a different stamp set.  The colors are Holiday Red, Twilight, Sweet Leaf, and Sunflower.  I used a lot of Liquid Glass to make everything look shiny and wet.  The puddles are from the Makin' Waves stamp set.  The B&T papers are from the Emporium paper collection.
