Bright colors!


Hello everyone!

I have some bright cards for today! At first I was reluctant of the color combination, but once I got started, I could hardly stop! I think that two cards are enough, though. 





{Thank You So Much} card   

Supplies:

~ Cardstock, Stamps: Papertreyink;
~ Ink: Stampabilities;
~ Ribbon and Buttons: personal collection (unknown source);
~ Punch: Fiskars.

Instructions:

Trim yellow cardstock to create a A2 card base. Stamp bloom images in the bottom left corner. Stamp sentiment on card base. Trim a piece of pink cardstock and punch the lower edge with upper crest punch. Cover the pink cardstock with stamped leaves images in black, creating a background. Tie ribbon around the pink cardstock and adhere to the upper part of yellow card base with dimensional foam adhesive. Add buttons to the center of each bloom image with glue dots. 



{Celebrate} Card

Supplies:

~ Cardstock: Papertreyink;
~ Stamps: Papertreyink;
~ Ink: Stampabilities;
~ Floss: Rainbow Gallery;
~ Buttons: personal collection (unknown source). 

Instructions:

Trim pink cardstock to create an A2 card base. Trim a yellow cardstock piece and punch the lower edge with upper crest punch. Stamp the dot images on yellow cardstock, then mat on the pink card base with dimensional foam adhesive. Stamp a dots image on an extra piece of yellow cardstock, then cut it in a rectangular tag and stamp the sentiment. Round corners on tag and punch holes on each side. Run floss through the holes and around the base of the yellow cardstock. Adhere the buttons to the center of the dots images with glue dots.

Tomorrow, my sweet little boy is 8 weeks old! If you had told me that after 8 weeks I'm going to be alive and sane...I would have hesitated to believe you. But here we are, happy and well and sleeping longer at night, that's the most important. Only once in a while, like yesterday, I have a passing temptation to never get out of the shower, to stay in there forever. But I couldn't do this to my family and I imagined my son, in ten years, wondering who's that lady covered in moss and mold in the shower. Besides, I would run out of hot water. 

I hope you're looking forward to a great weekend.

THANKS for stopping by!
