fresh & fun

It feels good to be back creating cards. I am a little rusty though.

I made this card for yesterday’s Color Challenge on SCS. The colors this week were Taken with Teal, Real Red and Certainly Celery.,

I got the layout from the wonderful Julee Tilman’s and her Mojo Monday layout.

The card base is a 5 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Shimmery White cardstock.

The next layer is a 5″ square of Floral Chic patterned paper by Fancy Pants. I punched each corner with the ticket corner punch.

The sentiment is from the stamp set Thanks with Style by Kitchen Sinks Stamps. I inked it with Real Magic VersaMagic ink and stamped it on a 2 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Shimmery White cardstock.

Again I used the Ticket Corner Punch on each corner and paper pierced the edges.

I layered two red flowers from the Prima Quick Pick Hydrangia Strawberry pack and added a Antique Brass Build A Brad.

Last I added sheer polka dot ribbon by May Arts.

Good to see you back, Beate, but kind of sad too as I guess this means Rick has left the US. I’m sending big cyber hugs your way! You definitely haven’t lost your mojo, girl! Love your card! That paper, greeting, big flower and build-a-brad combo is awesome!

Hi Beate,

I wish you and your family a happy and healthy new year, I know it will be a difficult one for you. I keep all of you in my prayers always.

I love your card, it is so happy looking! Did you color the flower green underneath the brad to match or did it come like that, it’s a great match? TFS

Happy New Year Beate! It has been sooo long since I have blogged with the move and the problems with the house! I have finally caught up on your blog, you do fabulous work, my friend! Hang in there, girl, I know this year will hold a lot of challenges with Rick being gone. Keep busy and keep blogging - it will really help. I know it did for me when I was in Iraq for a year. Keeping you in my thoughts! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
