Good morning and happy June 1! I'm writing this after being up since 4:30 AM this morning, so I'm warning you in case I get a bit punchy. As many of you know, today is the day that demonstrators get sneak peeks of the new Idea Book & Catalog and place orders. I got up early to place mine and now I'm feeling the effect of the lack of sleep but the excitement won't wear off for quite awhile. You'll see soon!
I'm also happy to show you today's card using the Fifth Avenue Floral set.
The Neswprint DSP forms the background, it was embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper folder and sponged to further distress. The ruffled edge of the red card stock dividing the panels was made by placing a narrow strip of CS on the Fancy Favor box die and running it through the Big Shot.
The sentiment is from the retired Watercolor Trio set and the Four Frames set adorns the label, bedecked with Basic Pearls, an Antique Brad and a key.
You know watercoloring is my chosen therapy and working on the details of this card was so relaxing! May be time for me to tak a nap. <g> I'd love to know what you think of today's creation, would you take time to let me know?
