Hi there everyone! It has been a busy week for me as I am getting ready to travel to Montreal to help my sis find an assisted living place for our mom. She had a stroke in March and is not able to live alone at this moment... I have not made any cards this week, except for this one last night for the Flourishes "Sunshine and Blue Skies" challenge. It truly was a challenge for me, as I do not use these colours too often and never really reach for them.
Here it is, using K and Co. dp for the background and punched yellow MS Quilted Edge border panel. The two circular lacey "flowery clouds" were cut from another K and Co. dp and I added some lemon PTI buttons threaded with blue embroidery floss. The Chrysanthemum Flourishes image is from my beloved Flowers for a Year set from Flourishes. I coloured with Copic markers and cut out, using the petite ovals dies. I added the yellow flourish that I cut with a Sissix die and used a blue pearl to join the two flourishes together.
That's it....
I'm looking forward to seeing my family over the next 10 days and I will be back home in Austin, trying to catch up on all of the stamping world news ;)
Thanks for visiting!
Chriss
