This week it's Laurie Schmidlin's turn to host Make It Monday for Papertrey Ink. Details can be found here. She told us "it's a super easy technique" that she loves. Well, I didn't have a lot of time to ponder what stamps to use as I'm leaving town tomorrow for a week and didn't want to miss out on participating. Let's just say I'm not thrilled with my first one but do like the second one better. Why is it all the stamps I own never seem to fit the challenges presented? Anyone else feel that way? On with my cards. (I'm packed and ready to go so thought I'd try a totally different version of a "shadow" background using Americana ink for my third card.)

All three of your cards are wonderful and fit Laurir’s challenge!! I think we are all too critical on ourselves. Enjoy your trip (and vacation from challenges)!
Fantastic cards~all three of them! Safe travels~
Fabulous cards....love them all!
WOW Kathy!You were on a roll. This one is challenging for me, I do not color so I do not have many line images...You did a great job! They are all amazing!
They're all beautiful Kathy! I especially like the 2nd one where you used the sentiments for your background...very clever and a perfect background for that perfect flower from Rosie Posie! LOVE it!! :0)
Kathy, I like all three of your cards! The last one is different using the dark ink background. I guess we don't have to stick to using light colored ink - more options using this technique! Have a great trip!
A lovely trio of cards! Great designs!
Kathy, all three of these cards are simply beautiful! I have a soft spot in my heart for Rosie Posie stamps and love your colorscheme on this one.
Safe Travels ~ hope you are going out of town on a pleasure trip.
Well, you ended up with 3 lovely cards, Kathy, but I know what you mean about having lots of stamps & not what you think would work best--haha! Just finished my entry & need to get it posted.
First, how did you have time to make three cards the day before you were going away for a week? I'd still be deciding what to pack! Hope you're having a great time.
I feel the same as you; the perfect stamp set for a challenge is always in the warehouse, not my house. You've managed to work around that, though. I really like how you used the sentiments as your shadow. They ground the flower and add meaning to the card. My favorite, though, is the third card with the darker shadows.
