Next, is a bright and cheery summer card. This card was inspired by Susan's post on masking here. Have to say...this is my favorite of the bunch. I stamped the text background by masking the outside edges and applied a little distress ink to the edges as well. I then colored the floral stamp and stamped it off to the side. I've entering this for the current Moxie Fab challenge to stamp with markers.

Recently, I've been inspired by a variety of cards...in particular this card by Karen, to stamp on patterned paper versus plain cardstock. For this card, I stamped three distress inks on the wreath and then stamped in on the card. Love the fall colors. The Hero Arts wreath stamp is really versatile for any season.

Ingredients: Stamps: Hero Arts and Verve; Range Distress Inks; Crate Paper Restoration Paper; Button and Twine: PTI; Felt Leaves: Hero ArtsMy final card is my first Christmas card for next year and another card where I stamped on patterned paper. Love the simplicity of this card...I'll need to make some more of these. It's always nice to have Christmas cards that don't require a ton of postage. The Verve stamps on this card are newer too. They'll be getting lots of use.

Wow. Each card is lovely, but I have to give a shout out to the spring (beautiful techniques!) and winter(lovely and balanced design!) but truly all of these are just fantastic!
What a fun idea to make a card for each season. If I ever find the time, I'd love to do that. I am smitten with that summer card. Just love how you put those pretty flowers off to the side. Isn't that masking post by Susan great? Thanks for sharing them all. :)
What a treat to see more than one card from you! A feast for the eyes! Love the Spring one. . .so perfectly put together! The Autumn is my fave, I think. . .Love the way you offset the wreath and those beautiful leaves! Great post today, Lynn!
eek!! you have me loving Fall!! What a great idea...four seasons :) I definitely live in a place with 4 seasons and though I complain about Fall and Winter, I'd have it no other way :) LOVE stamping on patterned paper and you've given me an idea for the PTI wreath that I have used only once!! hugs...

You GO girl!!! Each of these is really wonderful Lynn! I especially love the Easter card, so sweet!
What a fun post and a great group of cards. I really loved the Spring (cute bunnies) card and the gorgeous Fall card as well. Those are my two favorite seasons which may be why they were my pics here.
What a wonderful post, Lynn! I love every single card. The colours of the papers and bunnies are wonderful. I love the beautiful flowers, twine and masking on the second. The third I love because fall is my favourite season. The simplicity of the final card with stitching on the edges is perfect!
Wow... these cards are ALL beautiful. Such fabulous creations!
