this morning I woke up at 5 and didn't get back to sleep, so I got up at 5:30 and decided to try my hand at this Simple to Spectacular that PTI features. I did not use the Sweet Life set like they did, I needed some more sympathy cards, so I pulled out Forget me Not.
this is my simple card
I kicked it up a notch with an added layer and more flowers.
And this is my Spectacular!
funny story, I wasn't paying attention to the "forget" stamp and accidentally stamped "Forgot". oops,
I simply used a black pen to curve in to make the 'e' and then a white gel pen to cover up the rest of the 'o'! I had great fun thinking of ways to step this up a notch and make it a spectacular card. I think I might try this more often and get triple the cards out of it too!!
Heart Hugs, friends!

Wow ~ all three are beautiful! Your flower sprays are incredible Colleen and I love how each card is stepped up a notch. Great save on the wording too, you clever girl! I never would have thought to do that. Have a happy day, my friend!
Glad I'm not the only one who gets up super early when I can't sleep and stamps!! Your cards are FABULOUS Colleen, and I love how you went from simple to spectacular with the 3!! And great save on making the "o" into an "e"! You have been on a real roll in your stamping room lately my friend, and it's definitely showing in all the BEAUTIFUL cards you've been sharing...I'm loving it!! :0)
What a transition from quick and easy to a stunning creations. Those flowers are beautiful and your designs are spectacular and really ramp it up. Your mojo is really working in the early morning hours so obviously you don't need as much sleep as you thought!

These are all stunning, Col, and that was a sensational save on the "forgot!" I wouldn't have noticed until after it was posted and on the screen, so kudos to you! The colors and designs are all exquisite! Hugs, Darnell
Aren't you the productive one at 5:30 in the morning. These are fabulous! What is it about purple that just draws you in. Glad you were able to fix your error too! Lovely trio of cards!
