Whenever I travel I pack a few crafty items to create with while I'm gone. I rarely accomplish much, and this trip was no exception. I did a bit of watercoloring, but haven't had time to do anything with it yet. It's good to be back in the craft room, although the "to do" list is pretty long. There's been a lot going on, both here and while we were away, and I hope to have a catch-up post written by the middle of next week. (I'm waiting for one of the big projects to be completed.)
For now, I have a card for the current Flower Challenge: Add Spots or Stripes.
This was a quick card to create. All the stamps are from Simon Says "Leafy Frames," a card kit set from some time ago. I stamped and colored the wreath with Copics, and then die cut a circle to hold the sentiment from the same set.
The pretty striped paper is from a Carta Bella pad, "Botanical Garden" which I added to a die cut panel slightly smaller than the card base and popped it out with some foam.
I added a few A Muse pearls and that was it.
Hope your weekend is off to a good start. We're expecting a lot of rain tomorrow, but we'll have plenty of entertainment since the three girls are coming for the afternoon. We'll be making cupcakes for Maddy's fifth birthday celebration. She turned five while they were on Nantucket and we were in Wisconsin, so this is birthday dinner #2!
