Ah, summertime….the livin’ is easy….NOT! The garden is growing, so is the grass; vacation and travel plans pull at me for their attention, and my stamping/blogging time suffers. SO, if I haven’t commented or visited anyone, please know I am here……just busy! I promised myself last year I would not let the garden go to pot again, so even though I would much rather be stamping, I may be picking beans! Okay, that said, since I haven’t stamped much new, here is a card I made a couple weeks ago for a sweet friend, using Fabulous Florets:
I stamped some of the images on a page from an old book, then stamped another image and colored it with reinkers, cut it out and popped it up on the book page.
The card itself was wheeled with the Very Vintage wheel and then embossed with the Elegant Lines EF. Finally, I added a big bow and tag from Tiny Tags. I love this look! Thanks for visiting today!
Wee Details:
- Stamps: Fabulous Florets, Tiny Tags, Friendly Words Wheel
- Paper: Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz, Confetti White, page from an old gardening book
- Ink: Stazon, Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede

“Dirt Cake” is aptly named----can you see the “dirt” under her mouth!!! LOL!

What a beautiful card Leanne. The colors are awesome and the images are perfect. Great textures!
ReplyDeleteI love your card, LeAnne, and the pic of you and your baby girl. So sweet! Might try to semi-CASE that card, if it's okay by you. I really like it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card. Almost looks like a window card-love the stamping on the book page.
ReplyDeleteNeat photo of you and Cassidy.
What a lovely card! Thank you for sharing. Aloha!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this look too LeAnne! The colours are fabulous and I love the peeking through the window feel. I don't know what that gorgeous young lady has been up too but she's definitely been having fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous!! I love that stamp set! Great photo of you and "dirt cake" LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card, Leanne! Don't you just love stamping on print? Thanks so much for sharing, and LOVE the dirt cake! lol....
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, this is just the prettiest card! I also have to say I absolutely LOVE seeing the precious photos of your granddaughter each day! What a blessing!
ReplyDeleteOh my favorite was mud pies when I was little. I would make them for hours.
ReplyDeleteI love the card. So beautiful! I spent 3 hour weeding the garden and I don't have beans or anything I like to eat in it. The bunnies got all my favorites. Only thing left are the tomatoes, peppers, and onions.
Summer sure does cut into crafting. I am going up North for a week. I hope I get a chance to make a few cards.
LeAnne, this is drop-dead gorgeous! Love the colors, love the stamping, love the dictionary page...love it all! I am so with you on the stamping/commenting thing....I am WAAAY behind! Great pic of you and Little Miss Dirt Pie!
ReplyDeleteterrific looking card LeAnne... i think having that beautiful baby around gives you inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis made me think of yummy orange sherbet - it's an absolutely beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous in every way - love the window effect! And that baby girl is still gorgeous - even after having some dirt pie!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, LeAnne! I never get tired of using this set. Love the card in these colors, and mud cakes, I used to do those too.
