Joyful Day

 Hello, it's a new day! Mine has begun very early since I could not sleep. I'll bet you can guess what I did in the pre-dawn wakening. I made a card!



The background panel was ready-to-go already made with a stencil, it's from Waffle Flower Puffy Squares stencil. The boots are by Penny Black (as is the sentiment) and the flowers are bits and bobs from a few places. Figuring out what to fill the boots with and how to arrange it was the hardest part of the card! I added some shading with Copics to the boots.

It will be just in time to share at The Paper Players which ends today.


 Their challenge is a theme of spring showers which I really wanted to join since I've had this boot die on my desk for at least a month. It was bought last year and I am glad to use it for the first time now. I will head on over to share this at 
NBUS  as well.  I hope you can make it a great day, and take care. Thanks for coming by to visit. 

Be yourself

         Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

Your flower-filled boots are joyful indeed Cindy, especially against that sunny background - the perfect antidote to spring showers! Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!

Cindy, this is just the perfect way to 'fill your boots', as people say! I think that the brightness of the stencilled background and the depth you've achieved in your flowers (and the tiny pop of red) brings such joy to the design. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.

Your NBUS boots were waiting patiently for this perfect spring challenge to join, Cindy! Great job arranging the flowers and adding dimension to those Wellies and I love the stenciled background! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! I hope you've been sleeping better. Hugs, Darnell
