Colorful Flowers for Spring

 I've been working on this card all day Friday off and on, the last day of January.  Trying to find just the right paper, pick out the right dies and get the panels lined up just right.  I think it turned out pretty good.  This is Freshly Made Sketch #671. 

I used three different border dies from the Heffy Doodle set called "On The Edge" to create the different panels.

The vase is from Simon Hurley's "Ceramic Vases" die set and the flowers are from Dress My Craft "Spring Flowers #2" die set.

 I really love mushrooms and this FMS 670 sketch gave me an opportunity to use this stamp & die set from Altenew called Mushroom Greetings.





I also used the "Small Brick Wall" stencil from My Favorite Things for the background and the "Small Grass Border" die by Impression Obsession.  The mug in the background is a Christmas gift from my granddaughter, Keziah, who loves mushrooms too.  And today is her 16th birthday! 😊

Trying to get back in the saddle again in 2025

 It has been so long since I've posted on my blog.  I feel mighty guilty that I have been absent so long.  I've been making cards but have not been posting them.  I've also been following Freshly Made Sketches weekly so today I am getting back in the saddle by posting a card from Freshly Made Sketch #669.


The background paper that I used was from a Carta Bella paper pad called "Sunflower Summer"
The sentiment is from an Avery Elle stamp set called "Sunflowers"
The dies that were used to create the sunflowers are from Scrapbook.com
