In the next few months, this blog will realize our fourth anniversary of blogging. We've not grown a lot of followers, but the followers we do have are loyal and encouraging. I'd take these few faithful and encouraging women all day long. One of the most faithful from a very early point is Karon of Karon's Krafty Korner. She reads faithfully, comments faithfully and encourages me from a distance such that I know her as friend even though we could pass on the street without recognizing each other. This caused me great distress when we recently held a contest for some blog candy and restricted it to mailing within the US. *Frowny Face* So, I thought that I might bless her with a unique gift all her own. At the scrapbook convention at the end of May I picked up the Delicate Asters stamp and die set from Heartfelt Creations. Karon had her eye on a couple of my cards and indicated she might want them as a Christmas present. Christmas was just too far away so I made this card to express my fondest wishes and sent a little care package all the way to Canada. Here's the details:
- The papers are from the MME Forgettable 6 x 6 paper pad edged with Peacock Feathers Distress ink.
- The flowers are stamped in black Archival ink and die cut using my Heartfelt Creations Sun-kissed Fleur. I then used copper stamp paint to color the flowers. The centers are made with some Peacock Feathers Distress Glitter.
- The flourish is green cardstock cut with my ODBD Fancy Foliage die.
- The patterned paper was cut using my Labels 18 die and the white cardstock sentiment cut with my Labels 17 die.
I've entered this card into Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Anything Goes and Word Art Wednesday's Challenge #136: Anything Goes.
Such a pretty card! Thank you for sharing your project and for joining us over on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog... :)
