Cold out, but rather lovely. The sky is that perfect shade of blue, and the sun is shining. I'm sure most of us in the northern climes are well past tired of winter, but days like today make these days bearable. With a little patience, we'll all make it to Spring. We planted flower seeds in Sunday school this morning. Here's hoping that our seeds will help Spring get everybody's here a bit faster!
Will cut this short from here on it. Have been trying to post for 2 hours, and have also been running like the chicken which is now in the oven...headless....
My card was inspired by the very talented Donna Mikasa. I have loved this card since she made it. It will be posted to the Card Concept Challenge.
Mine has more primary colors:
IRL, the pink flowers are more red...so much for a sunny day photo.... Still, I like it. W Plus 9 stamps, SU black ink, various other inks, MFT frame. Oh, and a yellow Sharpie for the flower centers. Gotta run, so much left to do before Downton Abby comes on. Happy dances everyone.
Oh well done! I'm struggling to make a card for my mother - you may have inspired me here! Thanks so much for joining us The Card Concept!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely little floral card, Bev. One question? How did you get the two photos side by side? I tried it on my post today and couldn't get it to happen?.
ReplyDeleteI miss those kind of Sunday mornings where I could listen to the church bells ringing... here it is the first day of the working week... *sigh*...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your card ... fresh lovely little bloom with pretty leaves!
beautiful stamping Bev!
Ah, what a sweet, springy card brightening up this grey, snowy day of ours! Donna sure is something else, isn't she?! Awesome card you chose of hers to inspire you. I KNOW you have made her proud, because your card is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card Bev! Thank you so much for joining us at the Car Concept!
ReplyDeleteYour description of your Sunday morning made me smile as did your pretty card! So happy and bright! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds like a perfectly peaceful Sunday morning - I am pleased! Mine was considerably less peaceful but I shall try harder next weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your take on Donna's card - she's super inspiring isn't she!? :) It's so bright and fresh it's easy to forget the winter blues :)
This is beautiful Bev. I love the bright colors...stunning!
ReplyDeleteBev, this is beautiful and bright!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a beautiful Sunday morning too. We usually go to Saturday evening mass but this week we went Sunday evening and the singing was wonderful and so moving.
I love Sundays, too, Bev -- especially going to church and singing worship songs and then going down to teach Sunday school afterwards!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty and fun!
I'm so with you about Sundays, Bev ... mass is always so uplifting and inspiring ... true food for the soul! Such a pretty card with those fabulous bold blooms ... and I'm loving that postage stamp frame! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteYour description of your peaceful Sunday morning was replicated with mine yesterday. I took my mom to church, a bright, freezing cold day, and spent the time reflecting on just how blessed I was to have my mom sitting beside me, my dad at home (regaining his health), my brother and sister-in-law being parents, my niece and nephew bringing such joy to my life and my husband, who came along 'just when' I didn't think anyone special ever would. Your posts and cards are blessings too: you always find a way to brighten my days, as you have with this sweet, fresh, bold, spring-y gem! Love those blossoms....Hugs~c
ReplyDeleteYour post and Carol's comment literally brought tears to my eyes! Our little craft world is one of those special blessings!
