Thinking of You

Hello Blogger friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. 

We are already at the mid-point of January. The days are getting longer and that always makes me feel good when I am out and about around 5:00 pm. 

I am still taking down my Christmas decorations. Today my goal is to get all the peripheral decorations in all 4 of the downstairs rooms plus my powder room packed and put away. That may not sound like much, but I have a lot placed in each room. Then I will just have my 2 remaining Christmas trees and the outside wreaths. I will continue my progress on each Blog post. 

Now onto my card for today. A friend asked me to make a card for her friend who is battling breast cancer. 

I used the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #1020. We were to use blueberry bushel, calypso coral and lemon-lime twist for the color trio.

I started the card with my background paper. It's a pattern from the Stampin' Up "thoughtful journey" collection. Added a frame around this panel in calypso coral. My hummingbird is cut from the same designer paper, and I ink blended with calypso coral and lemon-lime twist.

For the flowers, I used Bristol smooth cardstock and blended with prize ribbon distress ink which is a very close match for blueberry bushel. The blending brushes allowed me to get a lighter shade. The centers are cut with blueberry bushel cardstock.

Leaves are cut in lemon lime twist cardstock and shaded with the same color ink. Stamped my sentiment in blueberry bushel ink to complete my card.

Well, that's it for me for this post. So, until next time.......God bless.
