Inspired By #74 ... laundry day

I'm once again seeing the clothes on the line, blowing in the breeze - smelling delicious!  how about you?  Oh all right... my laundry never looked this pretty...


BUT a beautiful new die from the sweetest friend helped to make my Inspired By laundry day CARD pretty near perfect!   I cut this gorgeous Altenew Mandela from a linen card base, and lined it with vellum so it really looks lovely when the light shines through!  I had to add the daisy... this one from Altenew's Weekend Doodles is so doodling perfect!


Well I do hope I've sparked a little creative idea or two in you … and that you'll stop by Inspired By #74 to play along!
