Hi there dear friends!!! Sorry I have been posting so sparsely lately. I am making some life changes this summer and stamping has slid further down on the priority list. I have been exercising more and spending more time with my sweet husband. We have taken to hiking 3-4 times a week and I'm loving it!! I am hoping to get my tiredness under control with more exercise and less stress. I also see my doctor on the 25th to see if the medication is doing it's job. I'm not sure as I'm still pretty tired these days, but the exercise is making me feel better that's for sure!!
I made a quick card with my go to sketch, just to get the creative juices flowing. I used Papertrey Ink's wonderful Strawberry Patch stamps...one of my favorite all-time stamp sets!!
I stamped the checkerboard in black using the stamp from Farm Fresh. I just love that checkerboard stamp!! I stamped white and Sweet Blush cardstock with various stamps from the set and made sweet little banners. I just love the color combination. I also cut some leaves out of Simply Chartreuse Felt using the Turning a New Leaf dies.
I colored the inside of the flowers with Copic Markers Y32 Cashmere, R20 Blush and R0000 Pink Beryl. Love, love, love those sweet little flowers!! The scallop was made using the heart border die-another favorite!!
I truly enjoyed making this card! It was great therapy for the soul!!

So sweet and lovely! Wish I was in that strawberry patch right now instead of on the bus on my way to work! Although I don't comment nearly enough, I always enjoy visiting your blog!

ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS! This is just breath-taking..........I love the border from the farm set with the strawberries. Definitely going to have to pull those out today!
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI started working out in January, and it's made such a huge impact on my life. I've lost one full size, and my overall fitness is so improved. Some days it's tough to be motivated to go, but it's easier to make myself do it now that I am used to going. Good luck with your changes, I know you'll appreciate all the changes you'll see.
Beautiful card! Love these strawberries! Take care of yourself!
