Hello Beautiful

Have I ever told you about our daughter, Cathy? She's a beautiful woman. Mother to four adult children (where did that time go??), wife to a wonderful husband, hard worker, loving daughter, and a good Christian woman. She's funny, brave, kind, nice, empathetic, strong, and has all the qualities necessary to be called an incredible person. I hope you all have someone like Cathy in your family. She's beautiful. As you are. I can see your soul shining and it is most definitely beautiful.

I'll show you one card today which I made for Cathy's birthday (in July). She won't see this, so it'll be a surprise for her, don't worry. Thought it fit nicely into Addicted To Stamps And More, as well as Time Out.

ETA: One of the DT members at The Flower Challenge, Bobby, suggested I enter this card there as well. So I shall! Thanks Bobby!!





She likes flowers. And purple. Here's what I made:


I used a WPlus9 floral stamp and die. I colored the pretty flowers and leaves with Copic markers. The sentiment is from Altenew, and fits Cathy to a "T." The peachy cardstock is from my seemingly endless stash, and I thought it was a good fit for this card. Now. If only Esther (pronounced Kara) would come for another visit and continue my Copic coloring lessons.... I wouldn't be this far without her! While it's a fairly simple card to make, I think it packs a punch. I do like it, if I may say that without sounding immodest. Enjoy your weekend everyone, and as always...

Your Cathy sounds like a wonderful woman...she must have had a great example growing up! And your card is beautiful Bev! Esther (I mean Kara!) has taught you well and I wouldn't mind some more lessons either!! Although I am loving her videos and learning quite a bit just by watching those! Lovely, lovely card my friend! Have a great weekend!! Hugs. :0)
