Hello my friends!
Are you having a nice weekend so far?
I sure hope so!
I'm headed over to Pennsylvania shortly to pay my last respects to a high school friend's Mom who passed away ... but before I go I wanted to share with you a creation I just made for the current challenge at Joan's Gardens. This week Joan has asked us to use the following:
Polka Dots
Vellum
Oval
I am SO GLAD I do the challenges at Joan's because she always makes me 'think outside the box' ... for instance, using vellum! I have various sized sheets of various colors and NEVER think to use them!!! After looking at how this card came together ... maybe I need to put this vellum pack out in plain sight so I use it more ... I really like how quick, easy & pretty this card came together!
Recipe:
Paper: White and Black cardstock, Teal vellum
Stamp: Verses Stamps
Ink: Versafine Onyx
Accessories: Cuttlebug Swiss Dot EF, Spellbinder Labels 10 dies, Cheery Lynn Designs B117S Fanciful Flourish Small, McGill P/N 64005L Star Flower Blossoms punch
The little black hearts in the center of the flowers are the remnants from cutting out the large Spellbinder Heart Circle for another project which just happened to be laying on my work table (can't waste anything ya know! LOL) .
A few more challenges:
Broken Box Stock - Birthdays
Card Makin Mamas - Birthdays
Lady Anne's - Anything Goes Friday (must use sentiment)
Clearly iStamp - Black & White with pop of color
Crafty Catz - Dies & Punches
Well, I'm running out of time so I'd better close for now! Thanks SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you've found inspiration in my work! Enjoy your weekend and tell those around you how much you love them ... you never know when you won't get the chance again!!!
As always . . .
