Hi there! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a nice weekend! I did a little Christmas shopping with my Mom! We went just the two of us, no kids in tow, just the two of us! It was so nice....and relaxing if you can believe that! LOL!
I made this card for the Verve release about a week ago and am just now sharing it on my blog! It uses the new set, Thankful Accents. This set is so beautiful! The colors came from one of the release week challenges by Teresa and Mercy....Bermuda Bay, Old Olive, White and Black. I used some Grid Line paper from Papertrey to help me line up the flower and heart from the set and make the pretty background. The main image panel was sponged with Old Olive ink before removing it from the die. This is a technique I have grown quite fond of. I {heart} my Nesties!! I did a ribbony button bow and the decorative edge was done with a Martha Stewart punch.
Well, I'm off to take hubby to the doctor to have his foot looked at. It seems to be a bit better, not as swollen, so he is in much better spirits! Although he's feeling a bit cooped up as he cannot drive! Oh well, I hope you have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!
