This card made me happy

I had a lot of fun with the Sweet  Sketch Wednesday 2 (133 sketch)

 

so I decided to make another card using that layout.
looked like a fun one. 
I chose to go down the middle.
Flower Gold Twine

went along with my own personal challenge this week to use up scraps on 
the project.(Great minds think alike, Kyra)

I had to throw in another butterfly for the SCS WT681

The last challenge I did was the 
My favorite flower is the chicory flower. I love that it grows wild. In the summer when it is blooming the fields near my house look blue. They are also fun to smash between 2 pieces of paper in my cuttlebug.

Here is the scraps and papers I pulled from the bag of scraps on my craft table. Notice the embossing with gold metallic rub for my gold, the twine and the chicory flower.

One of the scraps started as the inside of an envelope that I ink spray smashed blue and green.


I used the following stamp sets:
ODB-Chicory




Here today, Here tomorrow

When I was stamping a ray of sunshine came through the window hitting my acrylic block just right making a rainbow. This made me really happy. It is the little things.


I added glitter and white acrylic paint to the flowers. Of course don't forget that I used cheesecloth. and brads.

  4. First, it's been awhile since I have visited you. Since an auto accident in December I just don't get around to visit very much. I adore your banner photo at the top! What a beautiful family! You are so blessed!!! I LOVE the little rainbow God gave you while you were creating! I LOVE that you used the inside of an envelope. I used the outside of a shiny one at Christmas time to make stars. I thought that was kind of cool. As always your card is a stunner!!! Love and hugs to you!
