A quick post to enter a card into Addicted to CAS’s current challenge, “Flower,” which ends later today. Purchasing and planting flowers has definitely put a dent in my crafting time, but the warm weather is finally here to stay, and since we’ll be spending lots of time outdoors in our yard this summer, the flowers and herbs I’ve planted will surely improve the stay-at-home situation.
The “white space” this time is a lovely dark gray which matched the border of the stamp. I colored both the border and the rose with Copic markers and then did some simple layering with a pink paper. Since I have many more cards than usual because of my daily coloring for the #100DayProject, I’ve started leaving sentiments off the cards if they can be used for more than one occasion. I’m thinking this card has multiple possibilities.
The stamp is an older Papertrey Ink stamp, “Botanical Blocks.” Another benefit of the #100DayProject is I’m pulling out older stamp sets and using some sets that have seen little or, sometimes no, love.
It will be a strange Memorial Day weekend. We’re usually with family for a big picnic, but not this year. There’s some rain forecast, but it appears to be off and on, so I’m hoping for a good mix of crafting time, and time on the patio.
Pink!! What a beautiful card. I have recently also made cards without sentiments & then made a stash of sentiments that could go with any of them. It makes such perfect sense.
I hope you have a good Memorial Day weekend & that the rain comes only at night so you can enjoy the days in your garden or out for walks. Stay safe. 🙂
You feature a favorite stamp set of mine! What a beautiful setting on the dark gray too.
