Hello friends!! Hope your week is going well. My boys are on spring break, but as per usual in the Pacific Northwest our spring break weather is pretty much a bust. Today we had some sun in the morning, but late this afternoon we had a hail storm and thunder and lightening! Yesterday was nice so we went to our local zoo (Pt. Defiance Zoo) and tomorrow we are going to a Lego exhibit... fun times, lol!! Anyway... I made a card today using my favorite type of stamping: collage. I used two different Stampin Up! sets... my old favorite Kinda Eclectic and a new favorite Butterfly Basics and the current ColourQ palette. I did some generational stamping using most of the colors except the yellow. It is just way too light when I stamped it a second time. After I got all my stamping done I added the "happy birthday" sentiment in black ink and a few sequins. Along with the ColourQ challenge I will be posting this to the current Simon Say's Stamp Wednesday challenge: Birthday. I think I will post this to the current AAA challenge: Easter Colors since pretty much all the colors are represented in my card. 
Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections white; Stamps: Stampin Up!; Inks: Stampin Up! Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Kiwi Kiss; Memento Dandelion; various sequins

This is a very cheery card Rosemary. I love all the bright colors.
I so admire your skill at collage stamping, Rosemary! This is one gorgeous card! Crazy weather, for sure, although I didn't see any lightening. I did snap a picture of Fritz sunbathing & then the deck covered in hail an hour later! Have fun with the boys!
I love how you collage stamp Rosi. I just love all the stamps you chose and the colors. Makes me smile. I could not believe it when it hailed today and rained so hard.
A super duper array of stamps and they work so brilliantly together. Love your take on the challenge and colours. Thanks for playing along at AAA Cards.
