A quick hello ....

... Good morning everyone!  Only a week to go!!!  I've been quite busy this week with various preparations and also snow shovelling!  I managed to get into my craft room yesterday evening and made a card for my stash. 

Hello - photo by Deborah Frings - Deborah's Gems

Stamps: The Craft's Meow - Lovely Labels 14, Circle It; Waltzingmouse - Faux Fun
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Strawberry Slush, Baked Brown Sugar, Summer Starfruit, Coastal Cabana
Accessories: SU Card - Summer Starfruit, Strawberry Slush

I really like the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch - CTS57, but I've been a bit stumped.  However, when I saw the pretty colours at Colour Q - cQc220 this week, I decided to make some flowers.  And the cue word at CASology - CAS75, "KNIT", caused me some concern until I remembered my Faux Fun borders from Waltzingmouse.


I stamped the knitted border onto scrap card and then fussy cut along the stitch line and adhered it to the card.  I used my new stamps from The Craft's Meow to make the flowers - the leaves were made by cutting the butterfly into pieces!  I stamped the flowers onto white and coloured card and layered them for depth, and adhered them to the card with dimensional gel.  I finished the front with a simple sentiment.  The inside has a mat of Summer Starfruit and a few flowers stamped - with lots of white space for me to write a message.

I've just realised that I have CASEd Tracey's card too!  Great minds and all that!  That's all for now.  I'm off to get some ironing done.  See you soon.

    You are right about great minds, and all! Love your flowery take on both challenges, and your inside is just as pretty as the outside.
