Good Wednesday afternoon, peeps!! Hope you're having a fab week. Today it's finally nice out....it's been rainy & dreary & cold the last few days & not feeling like summer vacation at ALL. Today is perfect!!
I had time this morning to finish up this card.....using Sweet Dreams from High Hopes' last release. I colored the image with Prismas & gamsol & added a bit of Certainly Celery sponging to the background (probably can't see that, can you?). I used SU's Basic Gray for the card base, Rose Red for the matte & the pretty floral paper is K&Co Madeline. I did a bit of stitching (I think I've finally mastered the zig zag stitch, lol) & made a Lesa Rapp flower from Rose Red cardstock. Her tutorial is HERE. She has moved on to bigger & better things....like the beautiful flower Nestie dies....but alas, we're on a strict budget so none for me....these will have to do!! It ended up being a bit bigger than I had anticipated....so I added the 3 pseudo Dew Drops to the bottom right corner (these are the cheapie ones from Michael's).
Boy....I sure wish I were doing some of this right now.....zzzzzzzz....
Here's a close up of the flower. They are really fun to make.....be sure to check out Lesa's tutorial. Heck, check out her whole blog, if you haven't before!! You might want to wait until you have an extra hour or two, though....you don't want to skip over anything!!
Thanks so much for visiting!! My one year blogoversary is quickly approaching (has it really been a year already??) & so I'm gearing up for some blog candy!!! Stay tuned.......
