Hi everyone. It's great to be back in my studio again. The past few weeks have been very hectic and it's nice to finally have a break and be able to play! :)
I made this card for this week's Muse Challenge (#54 - card by Therese Calvird). I loved Therese's beautiful spring card and used similar colors and layout. It's not very often that I have a colored card base, so this was a challenge for me! :)
I love this stamp set from SU! (Simply Soft) and have made many cards with it - I never get tired of these beautiful flowers. I used the marker layering technique to color in the blooms so I'm entering this into the latest challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More - #82 - make your mark (use markers). The sentiment is from a stamp set that I received as a gift from my good friend Debbie ... love this sentiment and perfect for so many occasions!
