Sparkle for Spring

It's been a busy time! Lots of household improvements going on including having the walls and kitchen cupboards painted. It's lovely to have it finished. Also, I'm teaching a local Papercrafting class, so there was prep work to plan and assemble the projects. 

It just happens, a found a new card recently made and photographed. Ready to share! 



The flowers were embossed in gold, colored using inks and stencils, and die cut. I love having the bouquet arranged for me so it is cut in one pass. Layering it on a scalloped stitched panel and a stitched frame made it easy to assemble. The stamps are Flowers for the Soul from Pinkfresh Studio.The sentiment is a favorite.

The gold thread, gold embossing and gold metallic gems add some sparkle! I'm happy to play at The Paper Players. I love a good TTT challenge and used the middle row across; sparkle, flowers, embossing and the right row vertically; sentiment, embossing, layers. 




  Wishing you a wonderful day and much joy. Thanks for coming by!

         Be yourself

         Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

Wowie, you're on a roll with the gorgeous cards! These flowers are so beautiful. Sweet colors, and lovely framing as well. I hope you saw you were the top creative favorite on Double D with your dreamy window card. It's so nice to have the disruption of home improvement projects done, and then you can simply enjoy them. How fun to be teaching a papercrafting class, too!

I love the gold and turquoise together, Cindy! The multiple gold threads tied together at the bottom of the bouquet are really fun and the scalloped frame is so sweet. Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players this week!
