A quick hello....How often I start an e-mail or text this way, especially when the hello is overdue. Don't know how I missed posting this week as I had some cards ready to go.
I recently pulled out some designer papers to use and today's card was planned around the pretty floral pattern from the Beau Jardin paper pack from Penny Black. I rarely use black as a background but decided it was about time to! Love the dramatic effect.
Using the My Whole Life stamps and dies and the Welcome dies from WPlus9 made it easy to create the focal point.
I stamped a few black dots - meant to be flower centers - to anchor the sentiment die. The sentiment continues at the bottom of the card with "I just miss you" from the Hello and Thanks set.
That's it for me today, hope your summer is going wonderfully!
Be yourself
Delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

Cindy, I love it when you drop by bringing all your sweetness! Thanks so very much!
Because of that no-reply business, it reminds me to return the favor, and I'm always delighted when I do!
I happen to love dark/or black patterned paper - such a striking backdrop to your beautiful hello! HELLO Gorgeous!!

Oh, my! How beautifully your flowers match up with the paper! I don't use a black background very often, either, but with all this pretty color popping out with the fun flowers it looks bright and happy! The white framing and card base helps it pop all the more. I colored lots of WPlus9 while we were camping and someday I might even get some cards made.
