CSS Alumni Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to another Center Stage Alumni Blog Hop!  As I am starting the hop, you should have arrived from the StampTV Forum.  Tonight the CSS Alumni group from StampTV is using a wonderful sketch from Melissa Cash. for my card I used the newest set from Theresa Momber called Warm with Love.  I Love irises so much I knew that the first thing I stamped with this set would be Theresa beautifully drawn flower.  I also worked in the color challenge from StampTV of wild lilac, sweet mango and white.  I don't have wild lilac yet so I used vibrant violet instead.












Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you leave a comment as you hop along because we will choose a random comment from one of the blogs. We would love to see what you do with the sketch and make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (March 29th), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs who will get a stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95!  Next up is the incredibly creative Carolina.

I am also submitting this card into Stamp Something's challenge this week, What does Spring mean to you?  Thank you for stopping by.
