Make it Monday #206

Make it Monday #206 is Stamping and mixing patterns.  First you make your own patterns, choose the colors and the stamps that you want to use and then just start stamping and cutting and see what you get.
Well, It is a little more technical than that, but you get the idea.  Take a look Here to see how Danielle Flanders does it.  It was a lot of fun for me as I was able to use a new stamp set for me from PTI called Quilted Spring.  To make the background I also used GKD Perfect Plaids.
Here is the papers that I made for this challenge.  Along with the solid papers too.
The inks are GKD Sweet Corn and SU Tangerine Tango and Kiwi Kiss
Paper is GKD white layering weight and SU cardstock that I had in my stash.
I also cut some dies from the PTI set Quilted Spring and stamped them hoping to used them somewhere.  I ended up making four cards, two that I like very much, two not so much. 
See what you think.

This one is my favorite
 I also like this one and added the die that I got from My Favorite Things as a freebie when placing an order.



The other two are not my best, but will make someone a nice birthday card.



Thanks for always stopping in and leaving some comment.  I really appreciate them.
