Today’s cards were designed for our Creativate Color Challenge. The colors for this challenge were Flirty Flamingo, Pear Pizzazz and Coastal Cabana. Designers could use Whisper White or Very Vanilla along with Basic Black Ink.
Oh, I love these colors!! They really spoke to me especially this time of the year with Easter and renewal of life. Therefore, I wanted to find a stamp set that I could highlight these colors.
When I saw the Stampin’ Up! Healing Hugs Stamp Set I know this was it. It was going to be the perfect stamp set. Not to mention with it beautiful photorealistic flower I could really highlight Flirty Flamingo.
You’ll also notice I had fun playing with the “Get Well Soon” sentiment too. I really liked the clean lines of the this card featured above. With that said, I also really liked the Get Well Soon card below featuring Whisper White Cards, our beautiful inks as well as the Stampin’ Up! Healing Hugs Stamp Set. It’s simple but is well stated.
I hope you enjoy my cards today. Please give this color challenge a try and let me know how it goes. I’d love to see what you create. And don’t forget to make two cards so you can send one today!! Sending Healing Hugs, Brandy

Hi Brandy,
Love the cards and the colors!
I’m a nurse working in a nursing home – luckily we are virus free so far! I went into my stash of cards and pulled out 100 cards for our recreation staff to give out to all our residents who are stuck in their rooms! Hoping it will cheer them up! The PP for March was perfect for a sentiment, and of course used others as well! Now I’m working on cards for our staff to let them know how much they’re appreciated!
Thanks for your continued inspiration!
