I'm so glad to see the rain moving on and the sun shining today! We've been watching it rain for a few days in a row now. Good for garden. Good for finding time to craft, too!
I'm playing along with the Blog Hop for May at Papertrey Ink, today using a set I just got called Gathered Garden. One of the features I know I'll love about this set is the ability to bend the leaves and use them to make a wreath, a bouquet, or a floral spray with lots of movement.
I also couldn't wait to use the Mix & Match Flourish Die, and I love the way it looks with card stock behind it.
Nichole chose this gorgeous photo for our inspiration. I was inspired mostly by the peaches and pinks paired with blue. Using pale gray for my neutral helps these colors pop on my card. I was also intrigued by the soft brushes of white, and added some to my flowers with the white gel pen.
I can't wait to get his post up so I can go see what everyone else made! Thanks so much for visiting my blog and for your very kind encouraging words, too.
Be yourself.
Find delight in your craft.
Make something beautiful!

This is beautiful! Love how you e framed the sentiment with layers and flowers! I haven't inked up my Gathered Garden set, yet, but you've inspired me to try it out.

Beautifully done, Cindy! Waiting for Gathered Garden to return to stock as when I've seen others like you use it, I'm impressed with its versatility. Great card!
