Today the sun is shining, and the snow is melting in Georgia - HIP, HIP, HOORAY!! I felt so good knowing that our extreme weather is over (at least for now) that I wanted to make a sunny card. After checking
Virginia Lu's blog this morning, I realized that today is the last day for me to link up a paint chip card. Virginia's paint chip cards are wonderful, and she invited her friends/followers to make some. Of course, I procrastinated and waited until the last minute, but I got it done this morning. I used my new Simon Says Stamp hello die. I love that die and this is the first time I've used it. Here's my card:
The shades of yellow on the "hello" are so soft and pretty in real life. The orange flower is a punch from a friend. I added a sequin with Liquid Pearls in the center. At the top is orange baker's twine. Also, my clear stones cover up the bottom corners of the card, but I used my Corner Chomper to round them. My husband and I will send this to his sister.
Besides linking up to Virginia's blog, I'm entering these challenges:
Southern Girls Challenge - It's All New!;
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes with Twine or String;
Addicted to CAS #30 - New; and
4 Crafty Chicks #179 - Anything Goes.
