Well, I started back at work, with a short shift last night. All day yesterday, I kept saying to myself that I wish I didn't have to go back! To my surprise, I had a nice evening of catching up on all the things that pile up when one goes on vacation. Today will be my first full day back in the flower department and even though I think I could easily be retired without getting bored, I am looking forward to seeing my wonderful customers, friends at work and of course all the gorgeous flowers!
I have a card to share today. I posted it in the Flickr pool yesterday, but not on my blog, because I wanted to share the fabulous card I received from Kathy Racoosin instead. If you didn't get a chance to see it, scroll down to the post just below this one.....you WILL NOT be disappointed!
One more thing before I show you my card. Make sure you pop on over to Dawn's blog for a wonderful giveaway to celebrate her 250th post! So nice of her! :)
Okay, here is my card for today.
The card base is a pre-made one from an old "Card Kit in a Stack" from DCWV that I found at Micheal's for $3.00. You didn't really think I actually added some sewing on a card, did you?!.......I didn't think so! I wanted to do another card with the color layering technique. The text in the background is an Inkadinkado stamp, and I also used the Silhouette Spray and Wild Bouquet, along with the sentiment, all from Hero Arts. Both butterfly punches are from Martha Stewart.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I'm off to play with the flowers! It's especially nice to do that, when the weather is rainy and gloomy like today. I hope everyone has a fabulous Tuesday.....smile lots! :)
