Today, we are featuring the "Just Dandy" stamp set:

For my card, I wanted to spotlight one of the beautiful dandelion stamps and one of the larger sentiments.  This sentiment has a great font!  I simply stamped the dandelion in black onto red to create a dramatic look.  No coloring needed!  The papers used are black, Real Red, and Daffodil Delight by Stampin Up, and patterned paper by October Afternoon. I completed the card by adding some white dots and black and white ribbon for contrast.

Head over to the Mark's Finest Papers blog to see the lineup for today's blog hop!  Be sure to join us tomorrow for day 2 of the hop!

I am entering this card in this week's Stamp TV color challenge: red, black, and yellow.
