you're too kind

Happy Saturday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. Well the groundhog said 6 more weeks of winter and today we had snow (lol). Not much accumulation but still snow.

Our tulips are starting to poke through the ground. That's not good in early February. We may not have any tulips this spring. Our temps are supposed to go back up to the mid 40's this week. We have had such a mild winter. We haven't even had our fireplace going yet.

I heard on tv today that Eastern Europe is in the middle of a deep freeze. This one has caused deaths and is trapping people in their homes with the snow they have recieved.  This winter has seen some crazy entremes thats for sure.

So onto my card for tday. This one I made for the inspiration challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  Judy is our hostess and she chose the Charleston Gardens site for our inspiration.  I liked the products in this store. I wanted to go shopping (lol). But, I restrained myself and made a card instead.

I chose this yellow finch pillow as my inspiration and created my card from there.  My image is from Our Daily Bread Designs - "He watches me" set.
The image was colored with prismacolor pencils and gamsol and cut out with a Spellbinder oval using the out of the box technique.

The designer paper is from my stash. I only had this piece left so I don't know who makes it. I used a Spellbinder edgeabilities die and a cuttlebug embossing folder for the center panels.

I die cut a tag to stamp my sentiment. The sentiment is from Stampin-Up's "whimsical words" set.

The layout is from this week's Just Us Girls challenge #122.  

That's my card for today. It's late and church is in the mroning so unti lnext time......God bless.
