PDCC#83 "A Sweet Farewell"

Inspiration photo



Hi there!

I hope you are having a wonderful Memorial Day holiday weekend.  Thank you to all the vets out there!  It's truly a blessing to live in this country!  Last night I made a card to honor sweet Sarah Anderson who is leaving PDCC. I stamped the background with three different flowers from Close to My Heart(Dreams Come True) collection.  I must tell ya my little enabler friend,  Nancy, asked me to go to a Close to My Heart party.   And, of course, yep you guessed it I couldn't help but order the stamps we used at the party!:-)  I think these flowers make for a lovely background.  I added some black satin ribbon, border punch, and pearls.  The sentiment is also from the collection.

I always enjoyed looking at Sarah's wonderful creations.  I truly admire her sense of color and style!  I wish the best for you Sarah!  Good luck to you on your new adventure of working at the art cafe!

Supplies:

PDCC#82-Friends

A closer view of card
The lovely soft color inspiration photo


Hello!

Well, I am finally posting this card for the PDCC#82.  I spent all evening trying different things on this card.  I nearly gave up and trashed it!  Whew, I thought OK, let's try one more time.  I just had a difficult time incorporating the light blue for some reason.  I added my aqua copic marker to the middle of the flowers, distress ink(broken china and antique linen) to the frame, and blue gems.  Also, I added antique linen distress ink to soften up the blue paper.  So, I'm glad I didn't end up trashing this card.  The soft colors for this challenge are just too beautiful to resist for a shabby card!  Time for lunch here and to enjoy some lovely sunny skies!  Take care and enjoy your weekend!  Thanks for visiting!
