Beautiful Day

 Hello my friends I have been gone for the past 6 days, took a quick trip up to visit with family and then we had a couple of days to see some fall leaf colors, they were late in changing this year so we didn't see a lot but we did get a few areas that were so pretty. Hope that in a few weeks we will see some pretty change around here.  

I will be catching up on all your blogs in the next few days hopefully :)

I saw this pretty stamp and die combo at the book store a little while ago and finally broke it out and colored it, adding a little bit of white gel pen to accent the flowers.


I used a few layers of pattern paper on this one.  After cutting it out I used foam dots to pop it up.

  • Simply cards & Papercraft Magazine issue 215 - Cherry Blossom stamp and die, colored w/markers w/white gel pen accents
  • Spellbinders - Labels 8 and Decorative Labels 8 dies
  • Memory Box - Stitched Rectangle Layer die
  • DCWV - Garden Party paper
  • Tim Holtz - Metallic sticker book sentiment


Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and I hope you have a Beautiful day,

Connie

This so pretty. Your colouring is well done. The pretty frame surrounding it adds a nice touch.

Like you, I was disappointed when I drove up to Ottawa, 7 hours north east. The leaves weren't nearly as changed as they should have been. That said, we did capture some photos which I need to download and put up on my blog.

Pretty floral sprig, love the way you added the white gel pen details. My Sakura ones do not work, bought another brand that seems to work better. I hear the Arteza are the crème de la crème lol :)

Terrific framing for those gorgeous flowers. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog this week and commenting on my cards. You made my day with so many wonderful comments.

This is stunning Connie! Your coloring on the flowers is fabulous and that frame die is too. Just gorgeous!

Leslie Miller said...

Gosh, the die cuts beautifully and your card is really gorgeous the way you designed it with the layers. I would love to go anywhere, I think. We're taking the dogs to the bay today for a run and a swim. At least that's something!
