Loves to Dance…

Hello again. Don’t you just love this wonder dancing lady? Carefree and graceful.

My mother is in a Senior Care Facility about 2000 miles from here. She will be 94 later this summer. When she hears music, she still loves to “cut-a-rug.” I remember growing up, listening to their favorite big band music, mostly Glenn Miller. Dad would often find mom and they would slow dance around the house. I loved watching them.

I wanted to send a less cluttered card this month but one that will catch her eye. Since March is the Irish month, I selected a lovely green and a white cardstock from Elizabeth Craft Design.

This graceful lady is from Stampin’ Up’s Beautiful You collection (#143637). To tone down the impression, I used Memento’s Gray Flannel, then embossed with Ranger’s Clear Fine Embossing Powder.

To add color to our dancer, I used Chameleon Pen’s Green Apple, Mellow Yellow and Nude. I love the flowing yet slightly textured effect the white cardstock offered. Then, using Elizabeth Craft Design’s Dashing Squares dies, I cut the different sized layers.

The green cardstock looked a little flat to me so I used a heart filled embossing folder (unbranded) for that little extra touch.

Well this will go in the mail this week. Hopefully she will receive it in time for St. Patty’s Day.

Till next time…God Bless You and Yours.

May the light of the Lord shine from your eyes. 

Like the candle in the window,       

Welcoming the weary traveler.
