Bothway Blossoms and the Crosshatch Background

Sorry I took so long to post today. It has been a very busy day for me.

I finished the last of my cards for the Goin' Out in Style swap I mentioned 2 post ago.

There is a link posted there if you think you'ld like to join.
I think there are alot of great swappers in the group.



I just love this simple card.
I used the "For You" stamp from Mini Mates, because it's a versatile statement. This card could even be used for Mother's Day.
I stamped in SU Chocolate Chip ink to match the base of the card, and the matting around the main image.

I stamped SU Crosshatch background on Certainly Celery Cardstock using Certainly Celery Ink. A local Craft store, if your consider an hour drive local, had this cute chocolate dotted ribbon , and this Celery colored baby rick rack in Celery. I just had to buy them both. I tied them together and attached them to the background before attaching the main image. I just love adding a touch of rick rack to my knots. The focal point of the card is the image from SU Bothway Blossoms set, I am so glad I have it. I love the simplicity of the flowers in the set. I love using the stamp to add multiple flowers this way. I stamped them in Timber Brown StazOn. I colored them with SU Markers, in Certainly Celery, Apricot Appeal and Blush Blossom. For a little shimmery shine I added Diamond Stickles over the areas I colored Blush. The picture makes it hard to see the blush color on the flowers, but it is there and IRL, WOW they pop. I am really happy with how this card turned out.



I also designed a Logo & watermark yesterday. I just love the versatility and usefulness of the computer. How else could I share all of these neat projects with my friends.


I probably won't post tomorrow. I just wanted to wish all of you women out there a,

Happy Mother's Day

Please leave a comment if you can. I would love to know who is visiting, and what you think of my cards.
