It was a glorious day today. We went for long walk along a trail that circled a lake at a local metro park. It was wonderful to feel the warmth of the sun again. My son was so excited to add a few new birds to his list ... Eastern Bluebird, Song Sparrow, American Wigeon, and the Common Grackle. Mallards and Wood Ducks have return to the pond in our backyard too. I'll share some photos here later this week.
I just love how this sweet little bee (Nature Walk stamp set) peeks out from beneath the velvet leaves. He's perfectly shabby sewn on burlap and layered on a "fussy cut" stamped frame. I added a pink bead to embellish the center of my crocheted flower and nested it on a pile of pink ribbon. My tag says Hello in a heartfelt way.
My next card is a birthday affair. The cake is a sticker, something new for me! It's part of the Sweet Shop collection and available for a limited time. The package came with so many "birthday items" ... I can't wait to make more of this theme! I created the flower with layers of felt, lace, and a sweet little pink button.
Sale-A-Bration is still going on until the end of March - don't miss this opportunity to earn free merchandise! My frame and tags on today's posts are from Elementary Elegance ... you can see more here.
We have a busy day tomorrow so I must say Good Night ... and thank you for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThe first card has something that made me stare for a long time :). It made me think of a botanic garden and that magical touch of elegance that you always add to your cards. The "cake-card"made me smile. Sweet and lovely; I love that argyle paper!

ReplyDeleteI am melting over your Hello card. I love everything about it. That crocheted flower is so delicious looking! And that pink ribbon cloud is totally heavenly. Can you share the pattern for the flower? I'd love to give it a whirl. The Happy Birthday card is sweet. The ribbon is beautiful and the pins are a nice added touch.
