Happy Friday, dear friends! I'm posting today on the Live & Love Crafts blog, sharing a card with Maja Design's Enjoying Outdoors paper collection. :o) This is to encourage a friend to see the beauty that surrounds her.
The colors are vibrant and beautiful, as my teamies have shown you. I celebrated the outdoor theme by using a sweet Prima resin birdhouse, which is embossed with Shabby Pink Frantage. Sandy's new Half Pearls form the birdhouse hanger and accent the flower clusters. The fussy-cut layered butterflies are also from the collection.
The wooden design (Singing in the Rain) is one of my favorites. Cheyenne Lace trims the bottom, which is topped with ivory Sunflower Pearl Trim. The collection inspires pretty pops of color, so Rose Wild Roses and Pink Punch Pomegranate Apples are included in my floral arrangements to coordinate with the Maja purples. I adore pink and purple combinations. ♥︎ Cheery Lynn Designs Mini Fanciful Flourishes (right and left) scroll throughout.
The beautiful Autumn Picnic sheet adorns the interior. ♥︎ Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles were used for the card base. Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful weekend. :o)
