RS45

Yay, it’s Friday!  A tad late today but I made it….a sinus headache is making me a bit slower this week!  I am squeaking in this little notecard just in time for the RetroSketches deadline:

And really, I was just sort of playing around with the new canvas that SU has in the mini, along with an upcoming SAB set called Bloomin’ Marvelous:

Remember, this is notecard size, so the proportions are a little smaller.  I had a snippet of Calypso Coral ruffled ribbon that I wanted to use, and even though the DP from Summer Smooches is Tangerine Tango, I thought they blended well.  I cut my panel from the Apothecary Accents dies, hand-cut the canvas and stitched a few little stitches, then added the ribbon & button (also available as through SAB)!  And if you look closely, you can see where I did some heat embossing in white with the leaf image from the same set on the body of the card:

It adds a nice touch without distracting from the focal point….which conveys how I feel about all my readers…..you ARE bloomin’ marvelous!  I love having you visit me!

She can do it, too!  Those little loops are they key!  Have a bloomin’ marvelous day!
