Welcome!

So very nice of you to stop by! What a fun and challenging hobby to have!

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Hugs

This is a card created for 2 challenges -- Joan's Garden #18 and for Speedy Cat's Challenge #55.

The challenge was to create a monochromatic card in blue for Speedy Cat.

Then for Joan was to have --
  •  A monochromatic card
  •  Embossed background
  •  Flower(s)
  •  Flourish
  •  Butterfly
I used MFP cs in shades of blue, embossed with Sizzix embossing Folders, added the flourish from Chic Boutique, flowers from MFP, pearls from Recollection, butterfly from FloraDoodle, ribbon. I used Martha Stewart's pansy punch in the corners, used Bahama Blue Memento Ink to stamp the Inky Antics Puppy & Kitty Love sayings and cut out the inside saying on spellbinders nested hearts. Colored with copics in blue.
And am sending hugs to all!
