Happy midweek, peeps! My card today uses the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches, created by my friend and teammate, Joanne:
I really love the prints and warm colors of this particular piece of the Heart & Home DSP collection; in fact, both sides of this piece were used for my card. The print flips to this cool diagonal woodgrain design!
I used my Stamparatus to get a good impression of this sweet sentiment from Free as a Bird, stamped in Memento Black, and I added a little scrap of Pale Papaya left over from panel that was diecut with a Stitched Rectangle die. The slim cut worked perfectly:
I used a retired Hexagon punch to punch out a piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock and ran it through the Timeworn Type EF, sponged it a little bit and adhered it to a piece of Basic Gray, then trimmed it down to create a little mat, I fussy-cut a little bee from a scrap of the same DSP, then popped it up on the hexagon:
You can't see it but the bee's wings have a brush of Wink of Stella too...so pretty in real life! Thanks for popping in today!
I took a walk out in our woods on Sunday and as I went over the little bridge that spans the creek behind our property, I saw these icy designs along the edges:
They look eerie, yet beautiful! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteAlmost more than your card, though I love your photos of the ice! Those are some awesome patterns you captured.
I love the warm tones of that bee paper LeAnne and your bee on the textured panel as a focal point is fabulous! Thanks for playing along with my sketch challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches this week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card, LeAnne! This DSP looks fabulous and adding the pale papaya trim between the 2 patterns was a brilliant idea. Thanks so much for joining us at CC&S this week.
