Take Time


Happy Friday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Charmed Life Blog. Spring has finally come to the Pittsburgh area.

We have had a beautiful week of sunshine and warmers temps. Baseball season is in full swing now with my grandsons. In fact, we went to watch Aidin play yesterday. It was a double header but they lost both games.

I have flowers blooming in our gardens. And, I was able to cut some hyacinths and bring them indoors. The fragrance they give off is so lovely.

Looking at them in the vase reminded me of this Great Impressions Stamp -"jars of flowers" F262.

Friday is my day on the Great Impressions Stamps Blog to post as part of my design team duties. So I decided to create my card using this image. Love it when I get inspiration from what I see around me.

I stamped and then colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I cut the image with a Spellbinders oval die.

The background paper is from the fab Echo Park collection "sweet girl". We are now carrying it in the online store. If you like bright colors as I do, this collection is definitely for you.

My card sentiment is the Great Impressions Stamp - "little pleasures" C402.

 
 
 

The layout is an older De-constructed Sketch #83. On the scalloped bottom layer I used Spellbinders classic triple scallop dies.  Cut this layer in melon mambo. I added some daffodil delight seam binding to complete my card.

Well that's it for me for today. So until next time.........God bless.
