Serene Congratulations

Hey there!  I hope you are having a relaxing weekend.  My husband is on vacation this week and we have planned a stay-cation of sorts.  Our swimming plans were thwarted today by rain, so I got to get a little crafty inside.  John's brother is getting married this weekend and I needed a card, so I was inspired to create using the sketch from Papercrafts special issue, Card Ideas for Paper Crafters over on the Moxie Fab World blog.  I actually had a card published in this issue using this sketch and was excited to try it again for my card today.  For my colors I combined it with CR84FN's lovely color scheme of light blue, teal and a neutral.


Starting with a Spring Rain panel, I adhered a piece of patterned paper from Lily Bee Designs, Picket Fence line.


Using the Tattered Flower die, I distressed and layered my vellum pieces and attached a Hawaiian Shores button to it with white embroidery floss.


Stamped my sentiment onto a white die cut (Label Basics die) and attached it to my flower.


Here is a look at the sketch and the inspirational colors:



I hope you have a wonderful Labor day, if you are in the US.  I will catch you later!

Lindsay

    We got a lot of rain here too. We needed it so bad. It had not rained in 3 months before that.
