Hi my friends!!! I hope you are having an absolutely awesome Saturday!!!! I have been having so much fun over the last few days playing with my Papertrey Ink goodies during their 4th anniversary celebration!!! The last couple of weeks have been a little stressful and all the creative therapy has done me a world of good!!! I have also been working on a Guest Design Team submission for the Card Patterns Challenge Blog. Thank you to Card Patterns for this awesome opportunity and I just have to say that this sketch was especially fun to work with!!! Here is the sketch:
and here's my take on the sketch:
I just have to smile because I have been wanting to use these birdcages along with my favorite Bitty Birds and I just wasn't able to make it work until now! I really feel like the larger than life flowers really pulled the focal point together!! Yay!!! I just love it when something works!!!!! I also had some fun with my favorite Background Basics stamps too!!! Oh PTI, how I love you!!!
Words cannot express how much this card means to me as I put my heart and soul into it's creation!!! What a great therapy day it was!!!
