It really is hard to pick a favorite color. Most of the time, it's pink for me ~ but at this very moment, it's something like crimson and ocean blue. with spring-green, and a lot of shabby... (I'm thinking that it's not really called a color anymore). But I have a feeling it will change before next week rolls around. It's good not to be too stuck on favorites tho.. I get to try new color combinations and get to LOVE them too!
~ pretty crimson mulberry rose ~ velvet leaves from a local millinery store ~ tea-dyed lace trims ~ favorite K and Co patterned papers ~ a beautiful "new" stamp set ~ tea-stained mini-tag ~
Stitches attach a little glassine bag to the front of this card, with a pocket space for a special tag... The journaling space "remember" stamp is from a blog-buddy (thank you Jo!) and the florals (and sentiments) from the Kind Deeds stamp set ~ a new favorite of mine.
Mulberry roses have officially taken over my blog. Aren't you sick of seeing them? I'm not sick of using them yet :) here's another one:
Lots of fun woody buttons with my favorite button twine... mixed with a few teeny pink buttons from my stash, and scrunchy ribbons ~
sending wishes from my heart to your home tonight! have a happy and restful weekend! :)
always Vio
p/s thank you, thank you for your nice words about how CUUUTE my sisters are... they were pleased beyond measure to hear that you all think so highly of them!! :D
I must say, Vio, you are a wealth of wonderful ideas! Love these cards! I've recently developed a great fondness for tags, especially the mini ones. My SIL made me some that I keep using on various projects. I like how you stamped the heart on one--you gave me a new idea to try! Have a fun weekend!
