HEEEELLLOOOOOO! Just like the card says! Hello friends! I have a bright and pretty card for you today! The idea came to me in my sleep the other night. I haven't been sleeping much lately but I'm laying there awake with all the ideas floating around my head... Hoping for the days when my anxiety rests and I can rest too. It's been a crazy year. I don't even know what else to say about it. Sleepless nights and crafty ideas I guess for now! Hope you are doing well and enjoying a nice weekend. I'm praying hard for sunshine in Texas for all those souls who are struggling. My heart goes out to you so much. Also just generally praying for everyone to get a break soon. Much love to you, with whatever you're facing right now.
My card today is finished size just a bit larger than A2 size. The background die in that pretty jade color is the exact size of an A2 card and usually it will go flush on the front of a card. When I finished, though, I really thought it looked better to have a white outer border too. Three colors on this card: jade, white and gold. I like how it came out!
This pretty butterfly accent was die cut from vellum for a lacy look on the bottom of the card. These butterfly dies are very old Memory Box dies from my stash. They are timeless!! All the other supplies are gorgeous dies from Pinkfresh Studio.
I die cut the radiating background die and the ornate oval die from the same color cardstock. I like the tone on tone look of this! I splattered both pieces with my favorite gold paint. I die cut the curvy leaves dies from gold cardstock.
I knew these leaves dies were going to get used A LOT! The hello die was cut twice from gray cardstock and stacked for a bit thicker look.
I found the perfect shade of matching enamel dots in my stash!
That's it for today! I hope you are happy and well and getting crafty. Take care until we meet again soon! XOXO

Thanks for your prayers, Wanda. I am in San Antonio and we dropped to 10*F and got over 10 inches of snow! The last time that it snowed for real here was in 1985 when I was 16 years old and a sophomore in the high school! It was a hard and sad week for Texas, but we will be okay. On Friday the 19th, it snowed all day long. Today, Sunday the 21st, we were 72*F and sunny. Come tan with us! 😂😂😂

This is gorgeous... I think I might have this butterfly by Memory Box. Love their stuff. The colors are beautiful and I can hardly wait till we can see some butterflies around our neighborhood. We actually made it to 35 degrees today. There is snow coming tonight buy our temps are going to be mid 30-40 for all of this week. WooHoo.

GORGEOUS!!!! LOVE the colors you used, Wanda, & the gold splatter too! I needed something SPRINGY TODAY! THANK YOU for those prayers! We were in deep freeze for about 5 days here, frozen in place with all of the ice & snow; & NO POWER! We JUST got power back on last night, so we could get some sleep here then finally. We learned what it was to live like the Pioneers of our country, that is FOR SURE! There are MORE AREAS than just Texas that got this icy cold & snowy storm! SO GLAD the sunshine is out & your GORGEOUS SPRINGY CARD!!! HUGS! ;)<3
