Happy Tuesday, everyone! Hope you had a good weekend. I believe I had a bit too much picnic food, I need to get back on my food plan this week, LOL! I did squeak in a wee bit of stamping yesterday before our cookout and used the Atlantic Hearts Sketch:
and the Hand-Penned Petals set along with a bunch of Daffodil Delight DSPs. Check it out:
I used a Stitched Strip die from Reverse Confetti to diecut a bunch of papers, then laid them out on a scrap of paper before adhering them down. Once I trimmed it to size, I mounted it on a Basic White card base, then added the floral, stamped in Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight and Soft Seafoam:
I added a little shading with some ink and a blender pen, then placed a Soft Seafoam diecut behind the flowers. The sentiment is from Friends are Like Seashells, and the embellishments are Elegant Faceted Gems:
The background was a wee bit labor-intensive, but it didn't take as long as I thought it would, and it was a fun technique! Thanks for popping in today!
I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of my son-in-law Wayne. He spoke at Ganae's funeral on Friday and he did such an awesome job...he read scripture, talked briefly about Ganae and her struggles and gave an uplifting message. He truly was a rock during an extremely difficult week even though he was grieving as much, if not more, than we were. I was so happy to see him relaxing and playing with Cassidy on Sunday evening, they both needed it:
Please pray for them as they try to get into a new normal. Enjoy your day and be blessed!

It's beautiful. I love that strip die! AND yellow!! Blessings to you, my friend.
I love your bright and cheerful card, LeAnne - what a cool strip die that includes the wonderful stitching!
New normal is hard - it's so good to see that smile, and to see them play again. God bless.

That's a lot of cutting and piecing together, LeAnne, but so worth it! Love, love, love all that cheerful yellow!
What a nice card and I love that stitched background! Healing prayers for all the family.
Oh, LeAnne, I LOVE the stitching on those strips! Yummy warm yellows. Thank you so much for sharing with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
Wow you are ambitious but the results were worth it! Pretty card! Such a tough loss to

What a beautiful card. I love all of the patterned papers you included and that you used a similar stitched strip die for the sentiment. The yellows are so pretty. Thank you so much for joining us at the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week and look forward to seeing your next creation!
