Spring is here in Pittsburgh-finally!! We have had such beautiful warm weather the past several days. I am just lovin' it. I tell ya.
I am working on wedding invitations for a young couple at church. It is labor intensive for sure but, I am making progress. And I have 2 friends. Elaine & Aidee, who are helping with some of the work.
Cutting out the spellbinders shapes on a big project can get tedious and time-consuming. But, they are taking care of that for me. They are such a blessing to me. They both have full-time jobs as nurses and are coming on their off days. Now that's a friend for you.
This week our hostess, Joanne Travis, chose an awesome combo of colors. Blushing bride, certainly celery and so saffron work so well together.
The image I used is from an Our Daily bread Designs set "birds & butterflies". It coordinates with the spellbinders labels 18.
stamped in certainly celery then used a saffron marker for the bird image. I added a couple of punched saffron butterflies as well.
My patterned paper is from Stampin-Up as well as the the blushing bride ribbon. My flower center is an offray stylish accent. I sponged it with blushing bride ink.
Some other challenges for this card:
1. The creative card crew has a may flowers challenge.
2. The stampavie and more blog has a ribbons challenge.
3. Claudia & Co challenge wants us to use butterflies.
4. The Flourishes "timeless Tuesday" has an anything goes challenge.
That's it for today so until next time........God Bless
