Hello crafty friends! I'm stopping in to post a quick share on this hot summer day. It's good to be back after a busy holiday week. I have another week busy with family visiting and there's nothing I'd rather do than spend time with loved ones.
The first card I posted (HERE) using the Eclectic Garden dies (Concord & 9th) was a CASE. Today's card is my original design.
Instead of die cutting the florals from colored card stock, I used white and sponged on color using Distress Inks to create a softer look. I will really enjoy using these florals.
An embossed layer was also inked lightly for the background. The sentiment is formed by the Happy Edger Die and the text from Penny Black. It makes a bold statement. Finishing the card off only needed a few pearls for embellishment.
I'm playing in the Tic Tac Toe challenge using the left vertical row: Foliage, Layers, Flowers, or the middle horizontal row: Layers, Free, Summer Colors. I really love the options in the grid challenges!
Also adding to SSS Weekly challenge: Sending Flowers
That's all for today! I'll keep staying cool. Take care. See you soon.
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

Oh, my. Could this be more perfect? I think not! Cindy, you are amazing! The flowers standing against the sunshiny background, the scattered flowers, happy sentiment... it's such a cheerful card while still being soft and dreamy and relaxing. Sweet colors. I adore this!
I love the movement the dotted circles in the background add to your amazing card and those flowers are just as pretty as they can be! Well done, Cindy. And I agree, family time is the best time!
