Hello! I made a card just because I had an urge to color something and I have a few not-yet-used Pinkfresh stamps that need attention. I was able to finish this in a mere week. I know! It's been crazy busy here lately.
One stamp and one die does the whole works at once. This is just part of it. I colored with Copics and added Diamond Stickles to the flower centers. Some of the flower parts are popped up, some glued flat. The heart was punched from gingham cardstock and coated with JudiKins Diamond Glaze.
If I'm slow to visit your blog, please bear with me. Maybe I'll have a chance to visit and share again soon. There are reasons, and some of them are good.

Today I'm sending my card along to Darnell's NBUS Challenge -- My never before used schtuff is the Pinkfresh Berries and Blossoms stamp and die.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
What a bright and cheery card Leslie! All the yellow makes your florals totally POP and I love how perfectly the sentiment fits in the center! Sweet, sweet card my friend and glad you had some time to color!! Hugs. :0)
