Free as a Bird

Hello! Hope you all had a good week! We are headed into a sunny weekend which means pool time!

This is a card we made at my June class. I was inspired by a card my daughter had made during an ice storm we had back in February . We lost electricity so we wore our headlamps and crafted in the dark. I changed it up a bit by adding the ribbon and the cut out flowers. She used Poppy Parade cardstock and stamped the flowers with Poppy Parade ink. I wanted them to stand out a bit more so I stamped mine in Soft Suede on Crumb Cake cardstock.

I didn't add a sentiment because sometimes it's just nice having a blank card on hand. I can always stamp the inside with one when I need to.

Happy Mother's Day! Hope all you mothers out there are having a lovely day. I had my May card class yesterday and we had a nice day of making cards, eating cupcakes, and drinking mimosas. Today was filled with more mimosas and a run. Great weekend!

This is one of the cards we made yesterday. I worried that it was too busy, but the ladies loved it.

 

I couldn't decide which paper to use so I had options.

I made a third, but I dropped it on an open stamp pad as I finished it. Don't you hate it when that happens? I could have cried. Oh well, won't be the last time I do that.
