I hope everyone is having a great day. I'm going through another round of dental treatments - went in yesterday and again this morning. Makes me glad to be alive to be back home in the comfort of my "space" - my craft room of course!! I can't believe it's February, and that it's Thursday already. I didn't want to end the week without participating in the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! Here's the link for this week: http://waltzingmousesketchchallenge.blogspot.com/2012/01/challenge-82january-28-2012.html
I've had this card in my head since I saw the sketch on Saturday (I didn't know the blog party was going to be Spring and almost saved this one for that!) I was glad to get this on paper and pieced together last night. I hope you like it - I love all the green - it is a fresh of breath air after all the red and pink I've been working with lately! I think this is just about as clean and simple a card as I'm able to make. I stamped the background in Pic Nic Patterns, colored the flowers in Copic - fussy cut a second set to layer the flowers and really make them pop. I almost sugar glittered all the flowers but decided on some simple orange gems for the centers that coordinate well with the gem on the bow.
