I just got back from snowy Fairmont, BC! Usually we come home with a bit of sun and this year nada! I left here to get away from the snow and I think it followed me there, stayed there all weekend with us and back again as it was snowing when we drove back into Calgary. Hell, I think we may skip spring all together and hopefully go right into summer!
I had fun with this sketch, but don't I say that everytime! But seriously, Julee's sketch's have so much detail, it is hard not to make a great card! Other than what to use for the stamp image and sentiment! Gets me everytime! I picked up some My Minds Eye paper and I love it! So many great designs. This one was from the Garden Party pack! Love the colours! Then of course I used my favourite Verve Set Beautiful You, the sentiments in it rock!
See the crocheted red flower...from my girl Jewels. Now I see alot of them out there right now but I am a bit biased as I think hers are the best. The colours she has chosen rock, they are so rich in colour and match lots of cardstock. Make sure you visit her Etsy store!
Ok, off to do laundry! Love Mondays after a long weekend. You almost need another day off to recover. Ciao!
Supplies: Stamps: Verve's Beautiful You Paper: So Saffron, Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, My Minds Eye DP Garden Party Stuff: Nesty's, so saffron ribbon, Candy Dots in yellow, build a brad, Jewels Awesome crocheted red flower, sponged some edges
Love your card Wendy, love the DP & the crochet flower.

This is FAB girl!! Love that DP - I think I've seen the digi version of that. I think Zoe Pearn designed that and she sells at Sweet Shoppe! I'll have to go check it out. She designed Bloom and Grow, which MME sells and it's at SSD...hmmm...off to check it out. But anyway, I LOVE this card!!
