Hey friends!! Another weekend has rolled around, again. While the east coast is dealing with another "snow-magedon" I think here in Western Washington we are dealing with "rain-magedon"! It just keeps raining!! The only good thing about all this rain is that generally it means it is snowing in the mountains and we need that snow! Having said that... I do hope that everyone on the east coast will be able to stay safe and warm this weekend and that the snow will melt away quickly!! I do have a card to share. It seems like I haven't done anything in ages, but I have been busy making cards for the Altenew Academy Stunningly Simply Watercolor Techniques taught by the absolutely amazing Lydia Evens. I have learned so much and will share what I made on another day. Today's card is for the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge as well as the new Time Out challenge. I took my inspiration from the colors that Marika used and my twist is that I added a little strip of gold glitter paper. When I saw the FMS layout I almost immediately thought of my PTI Garden Grace stamp set. I pulled it out to create the corner element in the layout. This card is simple, simple, simple. I didn't even put my usual die cut panel on the card base. I die cut my piece and then stamped everything using two shades of green ink and two shades of purple ink. The strip of gold glitter paper was adhered and then I laid my corner piece on the cardstock and marked a spot to stamp the "happy", stamped it and then added the rest of the sentiment and the corner piece.
Supplies: White cardstock, Heidi Swapp gold glitter cardstock; Stamps and dies: PTI; Stamps; Inks: Stampin Up! Certainly Celery, Pear Pizzazz, Vintage Violet and Wisteria Wonder, Memento Tuxedo Black.
Your card is beautiful - I just love those little blossoms!
