Hi peeps! OMG where did this week go? I think I saw it whiz by me in a flash, and I still don't know what the heck happened! How are you? Happy Friday! It's actually late Thursday night, so we'll go ahead and call it Friday! You don't mind, right? Hope you had a wonderful week!
I had every intention of blogging all week and never got around to it. But, here I am! Just in time to share something for the weekend. I'm very happy because tomorrow I will be spending the entire day with one of my besties as well as my crazy gang of stampers that I've known for years and years....and I cannot wait! Yipppeeeee!
The card I have to share today was made with some brand new Memory Box goodness. YUM. It's a birthday card I made for a co-worker last week and she's already opened it, so it's safe to post now. I used one of my favorite techniques to create a sweet, natural looking card. Hope ya like it.
You can see the text stamped on the left side in very light ink. I used watercolor paper and lots of distress ink and some speckles from my blow pen. That adorable little tag is from a die set from Taylored Expressions, and the clip was in my stash!
Here's a close up...The flowers and the text are from Memory Box. I am sorry to say I don't know who makes the happy birthday stamp - I've had that one for years. I used my watercolor spritz technique to make the flowers blend into the paper.
My set of supplies....
I really just can't say enough how much I am enjoying these Tim Holtz Distress Markers...they are the perfect colors that I love and so nice to work with.
I was able to stamp twice from each time I inked up the stamp. These new stamps are AWESOME! A bit of twine and a button just finished it all off...
I must say, that at the end of this crazy week, this is EXACTLY how I am feeling!! I just want to pass out and take a nap! LOL. Hmmm, I wonder why sometimes I don't really get that much stamping done?
Thank you so much for coming on by to see what I'm up to! I'm happy you're here. Have a blessed day and a fantastic weekend! XO.
Beautiful card, Wanda! Such a serene and peaceful feel with those beautiful blossoms! I love the little library clip! Great accent! Hugs! :D

Holy Cow! This is SO beautiful, Wanda! I love those flowers, and love your watercolor technique of stamping. The light text in the background is such a great touch, and I adore the twine wrap and button. So love how you clipped the little tag on, too!

Oh--I want to be Mr. Buddy! I say all the time that I wish I was my own kitty! They own the house, but I pay the mortgage. Go figure!
p.s.: great card!
