Another retired DSP pack down... I'm really loving this set of cards.

Card #2
Card Inspiration from North Shore Stamper
My version
I made two variations because I didn't have enough Midnight Muse Dahlias for both cards. I actually pulled these little heart wood veneers from my Take Ten PL kit. Perfect finishing touch.

Card #3
Card Inspiration from DO Stamping with Dawn

Card #5
Card Inspiration from Stampin' Pretty
My version
This card is so bright and cheery! I don't have the ovals framelits (must put on wish list), so I substituted my new Starburst Framelits. And I don't have the same ornament stamp and punch, but I do have the old retired ones. Still works!

Card #6
Card Inspiration from Northwest Stamper
My version
This card really isn't my personal style, but it's pretty. I got the new hostess set I LIke You because watercolor images are so popular right now. This is the first time that I used it and I actually like it!

Card #9
Card Inspiration from Pretty Impact
My version
I think this card is my favorite of the entire bunch. I love the simplistic shapes and lots of texture. For me, the switch to the yellow cardstock for the sentiment banner really makes the card pop!

Card #10
Card Inspiration from WeeBeeStampin4Fun
My version
Turns out I don't have Cajun Craze ink in either a marker or an ink pad. I dug through my stash and found a Really Rust marker from a few years back. It' snot the same color, but I think it coordinates nicely with the Cajun Craze card stock.
