A little crafty help from Bella!

Happy Saturday!

It has been several weeks since I have had the chance to post a new crafty creation.  With all that is going on in the world currently things have just got in the way of me getting into my craft room.  BUT after figuring out what our new normal is like I think I will have more opportunities to "Play"!  

I did get some crafty help from our lovely and extremely affectionate "Bella".  Here she is trying her best to swipe my twine...which by the way she actually did get & now I cannot find.  This gal also thinks it's totally cool to lay on Mommy's arm while she tries to get some coloring done.  The icky part of that is she gets so excited that she drools all over my arm....yuck right!!  But she is my "crafty kitty" & loves to spend time with me.

 

 

I wanted to create a card that was clean & simple but I also had "white" on the brain.  I think because it's such a "clean" color to me & gosh do we need that right now.  So I chose this beautiful image from our High Hopes collection called "Cindy's Garden".  Spring is here & the flowers will soon bloom I also know some people who could really use a pick me up right now.  I paired Cindy's Garden with the sentiment "Flutter'in By" which I think is such a whimsical verse.  I just added some very light pink for the matting & a few enamel dots....no ribbon...can you believe that!  I even kept the colors for the image simple.

 Copic's used

Brown - E49, E47, E44

Pink - RV29, RV25, RV21

Green - G21, G20

Hi Everyone;

Another week has gone by and Friday is here again.  It seems that the weather can't make up it's mind.  For a day or two is it spring like and then for the rest of the week it is winter back.   In spite of the weather, there is no reason why we can't think of flowers and gardens. 

For today's card I have used Cindy's Garden and the sentiment Picket Fence Saying from High Hopes Stamps.   Instead of adding the sentiment to the front of the card, I finished the inside and added it there.
