Hello, my precious friends! The last several months have been challenging but I am happy to return to the beautiful blogging community of crafters. I have dearly missed you and will be sprinkling your blogs with love this weekend and Monday.♥️
Being on the Crafter's Companion Design Team has been an immense blessing! I used some of my favorite new goodies to create a birthday card for a special friend.
Being on the Crafter's Companion Design Team has been an immense blessing! I used some of my favorite new goodies to create a birthday card for a special friend.
This was my first time coloring with Spectrum Noir markers! I used the Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers in Corals and Dull Greens. The lovely Peony Corner Bloom stamp and papers are from the Peony Collection. This is truly one of the most gorgeous collections I have ever had! The large flower is created from the Layered Peony Stamp and Die set. The petals are stamped with the Blush Midas Ink Pad, while the leaves are stamped with Sandstorm Harmony Ink.
The image is nestled within the exquisite Biarritz Frame Cut & Emboss Folder. It makes my heart flutter and I love that it cuts and embosses in one pass. I have lightly inked it in Straw Bale Harmony Ink for a touch of sunshine. My sentiment, also stamped in Blush Midas Ink, is from a combination of the Happy Birthday and Love, Laugh, Laughter Mix and Match sets. The pretty green floral border is from the Parisian Floral Borders & Corners.
Have a beautiful weekend, sparkly friends! I hope it is filled with everything sweet. ♥️
WOW! look at how stunning your card is! I LOVE the Frame cut/Embossing folder.. that is just so elegant and your coloring is wonderful! I adore my Spectrum Noir Markers... It's nice to see someone else coloring with them as well! I've missed seeing your beautiful creations and I was so happy to see you pop up in my blogger feed! Have a wonderful weekend!
