An April Anniversary…
Hello and Welcome!
Hope it is beautiful where you are. We
can almost see green grass here in lower Michigan. Really looking
forward to spring this year. Beat you are too.
Anyway, please, relax for a while and take a look at this
new flower die!
The
Card: Our youngest
daughter and her husband will be celebrating their 8th Anniversary
in a few days. For this event, Jim and I sort-of put out heads together to create
their special event card. (Jim picked out the background teal/green cardstock color.)
The
Materials:
The
die: This is a new one
from Susan’s Garden called English Rose. I must honestly admit that I am impressed
with the variety of die shapes with this set. Fun to work with.
Foamiran:
Whimsy
Stamps carries all 19 colors of this fantastic 0.6mm foam. or approximately
0.02” thick. I used both Yellow and Lemon Chiffon for the rose and Dark Green
for the leaves.
Accent
colors: The rose was accented with Color Box’s Apricot ink while
the leaves were accented with Gina K’s Dark Sage.
Chipboard:
Wow.
To again be honest, I’m not sure where I purchased this beauty. It was made by
a company called Laserowe - Love, Passion & Laser Art. It has the etched
heart design with roses on a lattice work background.
Papers:
From
my stash mostly – a pearled teal/green and a rather flat pale yellow.
It has been my pleasure visiting together – please stop
by again. We always have the coffee pot on.
For now,
May God Continue to Watch Over You and Yours.
P.S. Extra
Ideas for this rose:
God gives each of us our own special gifts or talents. I’ve been so blessed that even after the loss of my arm, I can still create. This has become my passion. Sharing with others is my joy.
