WIshing you a lovely day

I created a card for CR84FN23 using the fabulous color inspiration below!




My inspiration for my card definitely came from Sue Lelli's lovely lace card, which you can see if you click on the CR84FN link above! The lace background on my card is an Impression Obsession Cover-a-card stamp, in this case I used pink card stock and stamped the lace stamp in black. Isn't it pretty?! Once again, I'm just thrilled with my IO stamp purchase and can't wait to buy more! The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.




I also used the IO rose stamp on the center panel, and the IO greenery stamp on the pink card base (stamped with Versa Mark ink for a soft effect).




I made a double bow with some PTI Sweet Blush satin ribbon, and some polka dot ribbon from my stash. The tag is from PTI, I stamped the word "sweet" from "sweet baby", and then the word "friend" (both from Tiny Tags). The black flower is from the Frog Feathers Etsy shop. I recently bought lots of these flowers in lots if different colors from them, and they're beautiful!




I've been enjoying playing around with the shabby vintage style lately. I'm really drawn to that look, even though it doesn't come naturally to me. But I'm determined to learn how to not only do it, but to do it well! My current blog obsession is Viola Mahr, which I found through Melissa Phillips blog (she's another favorite!) Vio's blog delights me every time I visit, and I hope to someday be able to make a card as lovely as the ones she makes :)




That's all I have for today. We finally have some sunshine here today, and I've been so happy to be out in it! Took a long walk, and when my daughter comes home from school this afternoon we're going to plant some pretty flowers!

Have a great one!
