Hello! Well, you know what they say. If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. My version is fitting for those enduring this heat wave. If it stays HOT grab a lemonade and head to the stamp room to stay cool!
That's what I did this afternoon, and it was the perfect time to use some new supplies.
I've had these pretty Lovely Layers: Dogwood dies from Honey Bee in the new-things-container since spring so I gave them a try for today's card. The layers and etching on the dies add lovely texture and details. I had trouble getting a good photo though. The papers from Concord & 9th are very pretty IRL but it was hard to capture these hues.
I paired the flowers with the Immense Joy die and sentiment from Penny Black. I'll be entering the challenge at NBUS with dear Darnelle - who encourages us to share our never-been-used-stuff. And at the Flower Challenge, where they request CAS cards. Their DT samples are fabulous!
I appreciate your visit to my blog today! Hope you've found a way to keep cool!
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

I spotted this card over at NBUS and had to come by and tell you how wonderful it is! Now, I am off to put those Dogwood dies on my shopping list! THANKS! :)
What a gorgeous card! Love the colors and clean look.
What a perfect way to stay cool! I'm in my room watching the wind blow and waiting for the cloud cover to burn off. I adore your card! The enjoy die is still in my NBUS basket, tsk tsk. I keep at it, but never make a dent. Love how you've used it with the flowers for accent in a perfectly balanced design. Great edges and your colors are a beautiful combination, very easy on the eyes. You always make my eyes happy, Cindy!
Another gorgeous design, Cindy! The colors and composition are so pleasing and so perfect for summer! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Keep cooling off in your stamp room!🔮 Hugs, Darnell
What a stunning creation this is Cindy. Love the large sentiment and the wee flowers. Just perfect. Thank you for joining us at The Flower Challenge DT Aileen
Where to start? I LOVE the small flowers with the sentiment and also using it to decorate the large die cut word. How gorgeous!! As for fussing around with the photos, I think most of us endure angst when it comes to editing our pictures. Nevertheless, yours looks wonderful, Cindy, and I'm so glad you decided to share with us at The Flower Challenge!
Total sweetness! Love the pop of the yellow letters!
