Just a quick Hello!

A quick hello....How often I start an e-mail or text this way, especially when the hello is overdue. Don't know how I missed posting this week as I had some cards ready to go. 

I recently pulled out some designer papers to use and today's card was planned around the pretty floral pattern from the Beau Jardin paper pack from Penny Black. I rarely use black as a background but decided it was about time to! Love the dramatic effect. 

Using the My Whole Life stamps and dies and the Welcome dies from WPlus9 made it easy to create the focal point.

I stamped a few black dots - meant to be flower centers - to anchor the sentiment die. The sentiment continues at the bottom of the card with "I just miss you" from the Hello and Thanks set. 

That's it for me today, hope your summer is going wonderfully!

Just a Little HELLO

Hello friends, I am glad to be back in crafting mode after a little break! I jumped in with a CAS card made for a challenge last week, but I missed getting to post it for that. 

I've been on the go with some travels and other activities. I've been wanting to enjoy these last two weeks of summer, how about you? I looked for patterned papers to use for this card and you know what? In almost every one of my stacks I've used all the yellows. Guess that's because it's my favorite color! 

I colored this cutie with Copics. I've been getting faster as I practice my skills and learn which of those marker colors are my favorite blends. I added a simple ribbon embellishment and a few sparkly Nuvo drops in aqua. 

Stamps used are from Neat & Tangled, Better Together. Hope you're enjoying your summer day, thanks for coming by to visit. I love hearing from you!
