Best Wishes

 Hello! I hope everyone is keeping well.  This past weekend we had such gorgeous summer like weather with temperatures up in the mid 70's and mid 80's,then today it was 34 but felt like 23F.Looks like the rest of the week into next week is only going to be in the 50's.

Spring bird migration is starting, we have seen a few come through out backyard. Hopefully we will see more this weekend, when we venture out to our favourite birding spots.

For my card today, I'm sharing an Anniversary card I made for my Sister. I'm using Pinkfresh Studio Sunflower Washi tape, PFS oval die,  gold foiling sentiments & dies from Spellbinders, and background die plate from Papertrey Ink.


On the background plate I sponged some light blue ink so it would give it some colour. After die cutting the washi tape I used a few pieces to create my design on and around the oval die cut. Hot glimmer foiled the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out a few times with just white cardstock, then glued together for dimension.

To finish I added some gold pearls in various sizes.

Thank you for stopping by today, I always appreciate when you do!  Have a wonderful day.

Filigree Egg


Hi! I have another Easter card to share today!   I'm using Simon Says Filigree Egg die, Mini Blooms and Springs die set from Spellbinders and Pinkfresh Art Deco hot foiling plate.

For the background I hot foiled using gold foil and the Art Deco Foiling plate. Just love hot foiling, takes your cards to the next level.

I was going to blend  a few colours of ink to put behind the egg for some colour, but found some pretty papers from Craft Consortium - Inkdrops - Candy.



 To finish off I cut several flowers and leaves out of spring like colours and adhered to bottom of egg and then added some gold half pearls.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Wishing you all a wonderful Easter!

Blessings of Spring


Hello friends! Today I have a lovely spring card to share.  I finished up my card order a few weeks ago and this is one of the ones I sent in the package.

I"m using washi tape from Pinkfresh Studio, I already had these die cut, so it was just a matter of coming up with a layout.  Wanted something simple as I wanted the flowers to take center stage.




 

The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink, it fits perfectly in the center.  I added some enamel dots to finish this off.  This was a quick card, I need to make more for my stash.

Thanks for stopping by, have yourself a wonderful day!
