Happy Wednesday, peeps! My card today is for a friend who's going through a rough patch; it uses the colors from the Global Design Project this week:
My "free choice" color was Soft Sky; I chose Jar of Love to create a paper bouquet for her!
I stamped some of the florals on my Soft Sky card base in Craft White ink; it's very soft and pretty, although it's hard to see here. This might be the first time I've used the background stamp Writing Notes...I stamped it in Soft Sky to replicate a piece of notebook paper and stamped my image on top. The florals were stamped on Thick White cardstock, which diecuts beautifully! I arranged them in my "jar" and added some water, stems and some little flying critters! To continue in the notebook paper them, I added a paperclip and some baker's twine, then scattered a few sequins for fun!
I had a little piece of scrap notebook paper left from the front, so I stamped my sentiment on it and added another white spring behind it on the inside.
Some numbers, a couple of stamped hearts and some stitched ribbon on the outside, and here's the inside:
These are so cute, and I love the font in the sentiments!!!
Cassidy wanted to try out a fruit smoothie, so we got some strawberries, blueberries, milk and yogur:
Whirled it all up with the immersion blender and added some whipped cream! It was delish!
Thanks so much for popping in today! Have a blessed day!
