Carbon Copied

I'm so excited today to be playing Carbon Copied with Karen Baker of The Bald Dragonfly!  It's a new feature that Karen has started where she and another Blogger use the same stamp set, the same challenge and post their results on the same day at the same time.  Karen was one of my earliest blog friends and has continued to be so generous and supportive with her comments and ideas.  And let's not forget that her cards are stunning! I found her thanks to Lynn Mangan of The Mango Boys and Me who just so happens to to have taken part in the inaugural Carbon Copied challenge with Karen last week.  Love all these bloggy connections!  
So Karen and I decided to take part in this week's colour challenge at Inkspirations and to use the Hello Noteblock stamp from Purple Onion Designs.  And here's my card.  Embossing, fussy cutting, pop dots and a few flowers.  Ahh!
Now hop over to Karen's blog and check out her creation!

Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (Kraft) PTI, (Cajun Craze, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla) Stampin' Up
Stamps: (Hello Noteblock) Purple Onion Designs, (Large Canvas Stripes) Hero Arts
Ink: (VersaMark) Tsukineko
Dies: (Flowers) Cuttlebug

Yay, great to see you playing along with Karen!
Love your card Jen, that wordy stamp looks great when you highlight the text in different colours. So happy you got into your craft cave at last :)
