Well, Fellow Crafters, it has been a long time since my last post. I'll just say that life happens, and sometimes we are drawn away from our crafting creativity to things that are more on the front burner. GOD IS GOOD!!! The last couple of days I have been making cards once again in my craft room.
:o)
So, today's card is a very simple one that will fit into a regular A2 envelope; the background paper is black with bright pinks and yellows and greens, so I wanted to draw the eye away from the "darkness" of the image to capitalize on the brighter colors. The flowers are from a discontinued SU die; don't know the name of it. The sentiment is also a retired SU stamp, and is cut out with a Spellbinders Classic Circle die. I rubbed a bit of pink ink around the edges to give it some interest and to pick up the pink in the background flowers. The die-cut flowers and the sentiment are accented with pink half pearls, and a plain ribbon finishes the card.
I am entering this card in the following challenges ending:
