Floral “Remember Today” Card

AAA Cards Challenge #123

I feel like I’m giving into this “simple” theme on a lot of cards lately and being able to assemble quickly and happily – so unusual for me.  I’m happily ensconced into my craft cave for the second time today and it feels like I got the very last scoop of ice cream or something.  My sister Nina and sister in law Judy are both doing this card along with me too, so now I feel like I hit the winning ticket for sure.  The very most wonderful thing I can think of doing before this long weekend ends and the daily grind gets me.  LOL!  Do you craft along with a sibling, relative or friend while you create?  Do you text?  Do you Facetime?  How blessed we are when we do, doubles our joys, so to speak.

I started my card with a basic thick white cardstock.  I save the “good stuff” for cards where I make mostly white on the front panel which I diecut using what I think was a Spellbinders set.   I find a top rate cardstock makes a big difference in sturdiness and quality of my cards.  I stamped some pretty florals using versafine and Stampin’ Up “both way blossoms”  I shaded them in gently using Tombow Markers.   I used an  Echo Park sentiment. 

Thanks for dropping in!  Visit me and I’ll come a-visitin’ you too
