I really love the layered flowers in those bright colors.
Haven’t been able to view the video but love the still photos. Love the bright colors.
I’m loving the online participation today. Thanks for the clear instruction and helpful hints for substituting what I already have in my stash. That really boosts my creativity! I especially appreciate your challenge to use 8 colors on the card. Finally, I hope the You’re the Best die will be available at some point in the future! These are beautiful dies.
Love the sentiment die & looking forward to seeing the challenge entries.
Wow! So many lovely colors- this is going to challenge me! Excited to try=)
I really appreciated Dawn talking directly to those of us watching from home. All of those hours watching the Food Network paid off for Dawn and us! And I really love the sentiment die and would be excited to see it pop up in the store.
I really like the use of the leaf stencils along with stamping and the die cut flowers. The sentiment is awesome also!
Lovely and very “do-able”!
I was really happy to see Dawn scheduled for a card making session. Her color scheme’s always inspire me to venture out of my comfort zone of my “normal” 2-3 mix. This will totally be a stretch ~ using 8 colors on one card, but I am really looking forward to the challenge! 🙂
Thank you for the great video and for sharing your beautiful creations, Dawn McVey!
Beautiful bright Dawn colors! Fun to watch everyone having fun!
Will the fun Papertrey Ink aprons ever be available for purchase? Would be perfect for crafting & I’d for sure buy one!
It’s really great to see Dawn and her beautiful bright cards. Love her bold colors.
Such beautiful creations. Dawn is so talented.
Gorgeous card…love all the bright beautiful colors.
Dawn, your flower cards are always gorgeous! Wish I could have been there to attend your class in person.
Love your colorful flowers, Dawn, and the stenciled leave are a nice touch!
Love the look of stenciled leaves added to the colorful floral arrangements, Dawn! Your sentiment really pops!
Thanks a million Dawn for a super time. You did an amazing job.
Love the cheery colors and the great sentiment! So happy to see Dawn able to participate!
Simply beautiful!
I don’t see a video, but maybe it will be there later. Anyway, Dawn’s card is so cheerful & beautiful–a fun challenge!
Enjoyed the challenge to use at least 8 ink colors.
This might be Dawns best floral…it has a lot of competition. It is gorgeous. She did an amazing job teaching the class. So good to have her back.
Beautiful card Dawn. It’s been so wonderful seen you at SAF. Thank you ❤️
Beautiful colors.
Oh, I love Dawn’s bright, colorful style!
I like the idea of the different layers with different techniques. I like the font for the “You’re The Best” die.
💕💕💕 having Dawn back!
Super gorgeous card.
Your project would bring a smile to everyone! Love your work.
Very pretty. Love this stamp set (but I don’t have it).
Just adorable and so “happy” feeling.
What a pretty, cheery and colorful card, Dawn! It was fun watching you make it LIVE and to get your tips on how to put it all together. Thanks for your inspiration. Great job!
So many bright and beautiful colors
Very pretty card! Eight colours is a challenge for sure!
So great to see Dawn and I just love the way this card turned out. I appreciated the way Dawn included those of us at home during the live feed. I don’t usually use this many bright bold colors so it was great to be challenged to move outside my comfort zone.
Wonderfully inspiring! Love this card with all the layers and techniques. Can’t wait to try it!
Such a cheerful card – love the layers!
So glad to see you were able to attend & are feeling better! I need to remember to break away from the norm & use more color on my cards in the future.
Love the mix of colors & different layers. Great idea! Love seeing you on camera, Dawn. You look fabulous!
Loved seeing everyone’s contributions who posted their own cards.
It is wonderful to see Dawn creating with her beautiful, vibrant color schemes. So happy she is back!
Such a great challenge that could create so many pretty variations!
Love the stencils for leaves! I can see using them over and over! Thank you Dawn!
Dawn! Beautiful card! It was fun going through all of my Raspberry Suite floral stamp sets and choosing just the right one for this project. Great color combo. Great layout. Fun! 🙂
Dawn your card is Gorgeous! And so are all others that have been made! Awe inspiring! Next year I am going to be joining and trying to participate in at least one of the challenges!
So beautiful- I always love your bright and cheerful cards Dawn!
Dawn is a whiz at mixing vibrant colors to create cards that make the recipient smile!
Dawn – love the stencils, this is something lacking in my crafting collection, so I was excited about this project!
What a fun card! Loved using the stencils! Watching the live video was awesome! Was great to see you and hear all of your tricks and tips for putting it together! Enjoyed all of the interaction at the table during the video. Stamp a faire was incredible! Thanks!
Love this style of card that combines so much color, stamped die cuts, flowers and a large sentiment.
The design and wonderful colour combinations on your card make it a real stand out, Dawn! Thanks so much for the wonderful inspiration and handy hints to ensure our success!
So to see Dawn “live and in person” even though I was at home. You look great. Your card was beautifully planned out as always and the colors are so cheery. That card would brighten anyone’s day.
I love the colors we used for this class. The images on the stamps are really fun to use, and I love the layering stencils.
As always, Dawn has outdone herself and created such a gorgeous floral set and inspiration! And lets be honest, you can NEVER have too many florals stamps, right? 😁
Stamped flowers, stenciled flowers, die-cut flowers, flowers morning, noon and night. They are the perfect design element.
Brown leaves… only Dawn, and they’re gorgeous! I look forward to trying other non-traditional colors. Hugs to my now not so imaginary friend Dawn!! Great project!
Dawn’s card is so pretty! I wouldn’t have made a card with eight colors on my own – unless it’s with a rainbow scheme. Normally, i use only fewer colors on a card – like three. lol…
I love how happy this looks! This would brighten any day!
What a beautiful and colorful card!
Such a colorful happy card!!
Wonderful card- bright and beautiful!
Dawn, you are just delightful and brought such joy to the livestreams during Stamp-A-Faire! Your card is just gorgeous. I’m so glad that you challenged me to use eight colors on my card. I blended several colors in the stenciled foliage and used Sunflower Harvest to create a card filled with the late Summer colors in my garden. Heartfelt thanks for the wonderful inspiration, Dawn! 💗
This card is almost as bright and sunshiny as you, Dawn! Thanks for an awesome class!
Always love Dawn’s cards and her bright, cheerful colors she uses!
What a beautiful card! Love the bright colors.
Such a pretty card! I love the leaf stencil idea … quick, easy, and fabulous!!
This was fun, and a stretch to use so many colors/textures on one card.
