We are still having hot, humid weather and my air conditioner is running 24-7. But we are in for a drastic change come Saturday - rain and cooler temps. We are having our annual block picnic this Saturday so I hope its not a rain-out.
Well onto my card for today. This one I have also posted on the Great Impressions blog as well. As part of the design team, Fridays are my day to publish on that blog.
I am happy with how this card turned out. I first chose my designer paper from the Stampin-Up "everyday enchantment" collection. I paired it with poppy parade and soft suede cardstock.
My image is from Great Impressions Stamps - Queen Ann's Lace(#H186). I stamped it in soft suede ink.I think this stamps is so pretty and I love all you can do with it. I layered this panel in poppy parade and then sponged some poppy parade ink. Added some pearls and butterflies.
My sentiment is from the stamp "friendship grows" G184. I just inked up the sentiment from this stamp.
On the first rectangle layer, I used the Sizzix embossing folder "kassie's brocade" and soft suede cardstock. I wanted to use more designer paper but it just seemed to busy.
That's my card for today. So until next time God bless..........
A few other challenges:
1. Divas by Design has a friendship challenge.
2. Simon Says Stamp has a put a stamp on it challenge.
3. Word Art Wednesday wants us to use scripture or an encouraging sentiment.
4. Southern Girls has a "it's all about the flora" challenge.
Very pretty card. Love your color combo.
