Hello My Sweet Friend



Just finishing up a day of sorting craft paper, practicing layering flowers, and finishing up this card for Freshly Made Sketches challengeI went in several different directions with colors and layout for this card but finally decided on the one below. I had just received the MFT's Sweet Hello layering die and I needed to add to my stash of friend cards. I paired it with a sentiment from the MFT's Well, Hello stamp set. I used SU's Purple Posy and a new DSP, Playing with Patterns for the triangle element. The softness of the color and pattern drew me in.




 That's about it for this evening. I'll see you in a few days posting a new creation. 
I hope you have a blessed Sunday. Stay safe and well!
Blessings,
Bernie B

Birthday Blessings


I'm posting a card tonight I finished up this afternoon to link over at CAS Colours & Sketches. I struggled with how I would use the challenge colour choices. Once I chose the Gorgeous Grape for the frame, it all fell into place.



For the panel behind the frame, I used an older SU Embossing Folder which gave it some interest. All the flowers are from Altenew's, Striped Flowers and coloured with SU inks using an Aqua Painter. The sentiment is from MFT's Bitty Birthday Wishes. I also used MFT's Stitched Rectangle Frame 


I hope you have a restful evening and enjoy your Friday tomorrow. Stay well and safe!
Blessings,
