Hello everyone!!! It's been a real hot day here so we took the Grandkids to the movies this afternoon and guess what was going on when we got out at 6:30 PM...rain!!! We are having the craziest weather this year!!! In years past we have been all burned up by August...the grass along the roadsides and our lawns were usually brown but not this year....everything is still green and lush...am I really in Texas???? We got home, ordered a pizza, and now Grandma is sneaking a little computer time...whoohoo!!!!I made a card this morning at 6:00 AM before the kids got up and finally found time to upload.
I bought these gorgeous embroidered appliques at Hancock Fabrics a few months ago because I thought they would look beautiful on a card. I paired them with Nina Brackett's Hugs and Prayers stamps and Bo Bunny's Jazmyne's dp. The solid bird stamp was inked up with Pale Plum and rock and rolled with Rich Razzleberry...love that color!!! The ribbon, button, and twine finish it off.
Recipe:
Stamps: Nina Brackett's Hugs and Prayers
Paper: Vanilla, Prism Razzleberry Medium, Bo Bunny Jazmyne dp
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Pale Plum, Rich Razzleberry
Accessories: Ribbon, Button, Twine, Embroidered Appliques, Spellbinders Scalloped Die, Nestabilities, Top Note
This is for a few challenges:
1 ABC Challenge - A is for August
2. Cooking it up with Katie - Recipe: flowers, a square or two (my square is the button and the inside of the button), and a little pink
