Hello everyone!
It was a sad day in my home yesterday as we lost a loved one in the family. Our hearts grieve, but above all we pray amidst the tears and questions. The day was a blur, but I found that working with my hands and paper helped me in many ways. Today's card is the result.
As I pondered what to create, I sought out one of my all-time favorite challenges, Mojo Monday. The sketch this week is beautiful and inspired me to make a clean and layered card.
It felt great to return to a style that I enjoyed often in the past. Lately I've been less inclined to use patterned paper, but I pulled out my stash of papers with delight for this card. Most of them are from the Simon Says Stamp February 2016 Card Kit, no longer available.
The LOVE die is from MFT, and the pretty circle die is from Papertrey Ink, Don't Forget to Write kit.
What, no stamping? Maybe next time. That's all from me for now!
Hugs, friends~
Be yourself.
Find delight in your craft.
Make something beautiful!
I am also adding this to the Fusion Card Challenge.
and to The Card Concept Challenge Love and Romance
This is truly a romantic card! Beautiful details...especially the foil and gold sentiments!
