    I just wanted to say thank you for all the tutorials and inspiration you’ve given me. I here in the near future will be becoming an SU Demo and I owe most of that to your blog. 🙂

    Huggles & Smooches, Tess

  2. Mary, this card took my breath away. The colors are so bright and cheerful. I finally got the Fun Flowers Die. This inspired me. TFS !!!

  3. This card is just sooo beautiful and bright! I love how you used the VersaMark for the edges of your flower. What a clever idea! Hugs, J

  4. Combine this with the balmy 50 degree weather we’re having today, and it feels like spring!! I LOVE pink and green together. I see a CASE in my future. LOVE this!!

    XOXO 🙂

  6. Mary, wonderful card. You have such a talent for putting colors together to make it look so striking! Lovely flower and great job with everything.

  7. Beautiful colors and here in the Midwest we are ready for Spring to arrive!! Love your cards, Mary!

  8. Spring has Sprung with this card. Like a breath of fresh air! Great Job, Mary……as always!

  9. I am anxiously awaiting delivery of my Fun Flowers BigzL Die so I can duplicate this and many of the other designs you’ve shared lately using it. Also, your use of Versamark ink renews my interest in that medium. I know I have one around here somewhere…
    Great combo of lots of elements.

  10. Another winner, Mary. The melon mambo is a great pop of color! Makes you think spring is right around the corner–and who doesn’t need that this time of year?
