Spring...even if for a day....


Oh, Goodness, it is GORGEOUS out today!! We are expecting 85 degree weather today...PERFECT!!
Today's card was made....yes...for a swap! I used SU Embrace Life..I LOVE this set! I am a flower girl for sure, and this one is so pretty! I colored the large flower with Gold Shimmer Watercolors, so it glimmers IRL. I used the watercolors on the ribbon, too, for a perfect match. The rest is pretty self explanatory...LOL. Seeing the picture, I can see I didn't get the flat-head eyelets perfectly straight~I hate when that happens...
Well, I have a Doctor appointment again today, so I am outta here. I DID break down and get the glasses I need yesterday...with a Bifocal, mind you. Yes, I am getting old...WaaaWaaaWaaa.
Have a wonderful, creative day!
Rubber Hugs,
Julie

Love the embossing. Mine cracks when I use them. may need to get the cuttlebug instead of the big shot. One more tool. Love the card.

I am procrastinating house work and painting.

What a great card. I especially like the look of only embossing on the bottom half of the card. Nice job!
