Spring-time is always pretty busy around our Two Acre Wood ... two momma Wood Ducks in their nest boxes, a garden to prepare for planting, and things are finally looking a bit green - always a welcomed sight!
Today I saw that my lilac will bloom soon - this reminded me how long it has been since I've used my M.E. Sweet Havana set of stamps, and dies ... thus my card for you today:
I've embossed a partial circle using a MFT pierced circle die

[I was inspired by the lovely photo at The Card Concept for this Clean and Layered card, and a sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week. Ms. Mojo still needs a little leg-up, it seems.]
I know, what happened to April? Love your card Michele!

So sweet and pretty...my lilac bush bit the dust, so I will have to try to "smell" them via your beautiful card!
ReplyDeletewhy didn't I stamp those little leaves when I used your set? I may have to mix in some of my WPlus9 lilacs to make a full bouquet. I love the embossed circle. You only think you need help, Michele. Your creativity is right on track.
