Brrr, it was certainly cold yesterday and we got snow but thankfully not the amount that was predicted so that is good. We have really been lucky thins year with the weather, quite mild. But I am in need of some warmth and colour so that was my inspiration for this card. One good thing about a snow day, I got to play in the craft room in the morning.
What do you think, does it say summer?
The stamp set is Just Because, hostess set in the Occasions catalogue . I liked the images but I was really surprised at the size of the images, they are so perfect, Hostess Sets are sets that you can only get if your order is $200 and then you can buy them with your Hostess dollars. And it doesn't have to be just you who orders, grab orders from your friends, we put them all in and bam-you are now a hostess and get free stuff. And Sale-a-bration on top of that, everyone is getting free stuff!
The set includesthree different vases with plants in them, some with sentiments attached and then there are two other sentiments. This stamp really says Happy Mother's Day but with a little bit of Scotch Tape, the sentiment was omitted and then this sentiment from Butterfly Gala added. I used the Stitched Rectangles again, and of course my Blends for colouring. The background is a piece of the Botanical Butterfly Sale-a-bration freebie. I made the card a tad bit skinnier that usual really highlighting the flower pot , but it will be mailed in a standard envelope. And gee, I think this is the best job I have done with colouring, the pot actually looks rounded- patience and practice my Dad used to say. Today would of been his 92 birthday, certainly miss the man. Have a great day and enjoy the moments.
Happy Stamping,
