Friendship is a Great Place, I'm Glad We're Here

I'm so thankful for the friendships I have.  They have been caring, supportive, and encouraging.

Monday, I had my dental surgery.  Everything went well and am so glad it's all over.  Yesterday, I did my ABC's - Awaken, Blogging, Creating & Cleaning House.  :)  I've noticed that my daily routines have been sounding a lot like learning my ABC's again!  Maybe I have discovered key to my life!

I have really been inspired by the use of negative spaces in designs lately and found one using a heart image.  Wanting to use up some of my scraps of paper (I didn't even make a dent), I selected Berry Blossoms which is one of my top favorites.
 

Recipes:

Cardstock Whisper White

DSP - Berry Blossoms

Stamps - Best of Everything

Ink - Calypso Coral

Cool Tools - Big Shot, Hearts A Flutter Framelits Dies, Scalloped Border Punch

Pretty Accessories - Calypso Coral Baker's Twine, Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack

Wildflower

I am so far behind in my blogging and so many projects to share! 

This very pretty effect was made by using Vellum cardstock over a design from the Watercolor Wonder DSP. 

Tip -

Use Vellum to create a soft, pretty look on your next project.  Perfect for sympathy or wedding cards!

I like this color combo so much that my kitchen is decorated with them.  This is a simple & fast card to make.  Your card base is 5-1/2" x 4-1/4", the So Saffron layer is 4-1/2" x 3-1/4", Tempting Turquoise layer is 4-3/8" x 3-1/8", the Vellum is 4-1/4" x 3".  I stamped the Wildflower image onto the Vellum in Versamark, covered it with Whisper White Embossing Powder and melted it with a heat gun, added the ribbon and my card was done.

I'll see you back here tomorrow :)
