Wonderful Day

 Here I am, checking in on a Monday to see how you've been! My traveling is over for now and my health has leveled out again, so in this lull between activities I've got a card to share!

Many have shared gorgeous cards with the Spellbinders Wonderful Tulips Glimmer Plates and Layered Stencils and I have been waiting to use these new-to-me supplies! 



I used Copper foil as it shows up nicely and then added color with WPlus 9 inks and sponge daubers. Using yellow because of wanting to play along at Double D's Color Challenge, and because yellow tulips and yellow roses are my favorites!

Also new-to-me is the Plaid Collection Embossing folder (Spellbinders). I like the texture it adds and I don't think the classic style detracts from the focal image.

We're approaching the HOT summer season and I'll be spending more afternoons in stamping activities. I've made some changes to my crafting regimen which I'll be sharing in the days to come. Meantime, I hope your day is wonderful and that you are enjoying the ordinary simple moments! I'm happy to be able to post today and so happy for your visit!

Color Hues #66 Yellow and Green

Hi there friends!
 It's that time again! Mid month means a new challenge at Color Hues #66 where Karen is choosing yellow and green for us to create with. What a great combo! I colored and fussy cut the florals, banner and sentiments from Simply Stated by Honeybee.




The kraft background was deeply embossed and then I gently slid the white craft stamp pad over it and blended for a softening effect. 

How will you use these shades? Please be sure to check out our amazing DT samples HERE, and join us to play along! 
I'm glad to be home from some traveling and back in the craft room! Thanks so much for your visit!
