No More Bad Swaps Group Swap

I am happy to be a member of the NMBS (No More Bad Swaps) Group. This is a group of ladies that are excellent stampers and were tired of getting swaps that were just so-so. They wanted an upper level of swaps in return and thus this group was formed. I received an invitation from Beth, the swap coordinator to join and I graciously accepted. This was the first swap that I participated in and it was for full card specialty cards. I signed up for 2 groups. The cards I got in return were absolutely gorgeous and perfect in every way.

My first card is a Criss-Cross Card that I created using one of my favorite color combos - Soft Sky and Blue Bayou.

Stamps: One of a Kind, Boho Backgrounds
Paper: Blue Bayou, Groovy Guava, Soft Sky, Whisper White, Blue Bayou DSP

My second card is a Surprise Pop-Up Card. I chose the color combo based on the Flower Fusion colors as I knew I wanted to use these felt flowers as an embellishment for the front on the card.
