Color Hues #133

 

My sweet friend Tracey is hosting The Color Hues Challenge #133 and loved all of the cards the team made using these fun colors.  So I reached for my Distress Wilted Violet and got to work using that sweet little C&9th Just Picked Dies - particularly that clover again!  

I love the first card I made using it so why recreate the wheel?  Here is my CASE of that one...

A little bit of gingham on any card makes me smile!  The vase die

was used to cut a piece of embossed paper from a friend, and another

Better-pressed sentiment finishes it well.

Off I go to deliver this one to Tracey's gallery at TCH#133!

Thank you, Tracey!

Freshly Made Sketches #719

Hello my friends!  I have been 'out of commission' since December 27th and, if I'm honest, I am still far from 100%.  It has been such a long time since I've made a card or created a post that I almost forgot everything!  But today, instead of laundry, I decided to head to my studio - I have Judy's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and blue skies to thank for that!

There are a few 'new things' in my stash purchased before Christmas.  

Concord & 9th's Just Picked die set came to my rescue today.

I couldn't resist water coloring the sweet, layered Clover blossom in this set -

putting them inside their darling vase was a no-brainer!

While deciding what to use for my card panel I remembered a really

old pack of adhesive backed fabric from DCWV purchased at Michael's

many, many years ago. This natural 'slubbed' linen is so pretty!

I found the 'band' among my snippets - you'll undoubtedly see those 

Betterpress-ed sentiments quite often in 2026, too.

Okay, that's about all I have the energy for today except to invite you to the FMS blog to see all the creative ways my teammates have used Judy's sketch!  

Thanks to those of you who have sent healing prayers, get-well wishes, and cards!
