Happy Saturday, y'all! I dropped Ryan off with his grandparents last night so I have today ALL TO MYSELF, which is awesome but also the house feels really quiet and a little sad without Ryan in it. But I'm planning to enjoy myself with some scrapbooking and making some taco soup. I did some extra stamping yesterday so I have a card to share.
I confess, I was going off of memory (frequently unreliable in my case, I should know better by now) for the Just Add Ink sketch but I think you can tell that it's where I started from:
Had I remembered it a bit more accurately, I would have placed the poppy pair a bit lower down. I chose poppies for today's focal point due to the Festive Friday challenge:
From the list, I chose red (Poppy Parade, naturally), black, clean & simple, and poppies. While I do still have quite a bit of the coordinating patterned paper with beautiful poppies all over it, I just couldn't make myself cut into it for this card ;) #hoarder Saving it for future scrapbook layouts, I suppose. I decided to go with the simple "I love you" sentiment because I'm planning to send this card to my favorite veteran, the hubs.
Okay, I'm off for a quick trip to Target and then some quality crafting time. Cheers!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: Painted Poppies, Softly Sketched
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Poppy Parade, Garden Green
Paper: Poppy Parade, Thick Very Vanilla
Accessories: Poppy Moments dies, Dimensionals, Classic Matte Dots
A lovely CAS use of the sketch Christy, very elegant! Thanks for sharing at Just Add Ink.
ReplyDeleteYour CAS poppies are beautiful Christy - and now I know where to come when I've finally used up my paper (although I do have one unopened pack still - sshhhh!) I hope your quality time crafting day was productive - the house will be full of life again before you know it! Thanks for sharing with us over at Festive Friday!
