TGIF! It's a wonderful day here in NW Ohio. An unusually warm day in the 70's. We are due for some storms later. It was good getting out without a coat to enjoy the warm weather. I enjoyed lunch with a few friends and had some delicious Chinese food. The company was filled with great conversation. We hope to do it on a monthly basis...how fun!
I know Valentine's day was here and gone, but I haven't posted this card yet that I already mailed to a friend. And, I decided to enter it over at The Card Concept. I think it fits into the Classy and Elegant category.
For my card, I used a couple of Lawn Fawn dies. The gem stamp was made using an MFT stamp. The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts. Gold ribbon and clear gems from PTI to finish the card.
Here is a view of the inside of the card...
I've been busy working on design team assignments and a few Easter cards. Last night I remembered that I skipped St. Pat's Day. I always make a card for my husband since he's Irish. So, it's time to work on St. Pat's cards.
Well, thanks so much for dropping by today! Take care and have an awesome weekend!
Hugs,
Maria
This is an awesome card! I love all the detail and layering, I wish I had it in me to add this much details in a stylish way! Well done!
ReplyDeleteMaria, I love the bright gold of your card. The gem is perfect for the card and a great sentiment. I am a nurse and am planning to get together with. my friends tomorrow night for dinner and a couple are lucky enough to be retired. I know what a treasure those friends are.
