Pink - part 4

Here is the fourth and final installment of the pink cards.

I love these cards from Lori.  They have such a dreamy quality to them.
(so glad you're swapping with us!)

Mary's cards are rich with layers

Melva's two cards are totally beautiful and totally different.

How much do you love that pig?

Paula has a nice botanical theme going on.  I'm quite taken with that leaf on the third one.

Peggy says the woman on her second postcard is her grandmother's sister.
(love that caption, too!)

I think Ria has spring cleaning on her mind, whereas I can't stop checking out those paisley sneakers in the second card. 

Robin sent three gorgeous mixed media cards with fabulous stitching from New Zealand.

The ric-rac on Shirley's top card brings back childhood memories.
(do they still call it ric-rac?)

Tallie's collages never fail to delight me.  I love the retro vibe on this one.

Tameko's card makes me want to accompany her down the winding ribbon of the her journey.

When I opened Tina's envelope and saw this face, I laughed out loud. It's impossible to be grouchy with this one in your hand.

Every time I look at Trula's first card I think "it's so beautiful in its simplicity" and then sort of smack my hand on my forehead because of course the word is stamped right on there planting the idea in my head.  But still, my ridiculousness notwithstanding, the card is elegant.

Last, but not least, I'm so happy to have Yvonne joining us for the first time.  I just love the grommets on her card.

So that's it.
108 cards!
My task for the evening?

108 labels, 108 stamps, 108 more opportunities to enjoy your beautiful cards before I send them out tomorrow.

Pink - part 3

This swap has been impressive, not only in the sheer number of cards, but in the variety.

Joanne put it very nicely in a comment on part 2

"It's easy to do a few postcards and think you've exhausted your range of creativity, that you've done everything you could possibly do with the theme. And then you see what other people have done, and you realize that you imagined a scant crumb of it."

Enjoy this bounty of creativity!

Three great cards from Kathy

I love those tulips and I'm so happy it's finally tulip season in my neck of the woods.

Katie's collages explore such a range of colors.

It's remarkable how many shades she found.

Lauri Crowe sent this wonderfully vibrant series of paintings

I just love the cat quote on the first of these cards from Laurie Morris

I love the pen work on Leslie's  cards.  I need to remember to use outline more often.

The backgrounds of Lorinda's cards have luscious layers of translucent papers

Lucinda  sent a lovely assortment.  Recognize those flamingos from Jean's collage sheet?

I'm so glad Marge found MMSA and decided to send us these awesome cards.

As always, I've linked the artist's name to a place where you can see more of their art.

Click through and say hello once in a while!

(and if I ever forget to link your name, please send me an email so I can fix it!)

 

 I still have about 30 more cards to post.

In the meantime I'll post pictures of some of the great art that's been coming in for other swaps.
