Welcome to my blog!  If this is your first time I hope you find encouragement for your soul, or encouragement and inspiration for a card you may be working on creating or some other project you may be doing.  If you are returning for a second or third time thank you for choosing to visit my blog again.

This is for a friend I have not seen or spoken to in quite sometime, so thought I would make her a card to let her know I miss her.

This card today gets inspiration from this week’s challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

I started with a card base of Whisper White.  This card is rather simple and easy.  I cut a panel of Mint Macaron and embossed using the Subtle embossing folder. This embossing folder gives just the right amount of texture.

I fussy cut some flowers from the Share What You Love DSP.  I cut a strip of Tranquil Tide 4-3/4 x 1 and stamped the greeting from the Blended Seasons stamp set.  (This stamp set is only available until August 31 so if you have been thinking of purchasing it, now is the time.  It comes with stitched framelits dies as a bundle).

I wound silver and copper metallic thread around my hand several time and secured it with a glue dot.  I popped the strip of Tranquil Tide onto the Mint Macaron panel, secured the metallic thread with a glue dot over the strip, over this I popped the flowers.  I then popped the Mint Macaron panel onto the Whisper White card base and the card front was finished.

I did not do an inside sentiment as I want to write a note to my friend instead.

After finishing the card, I decided to add an extra sprig of flowers to the mix. How do you think it looks, does it add to or should it be eliminate.  Be honest let me know.  I just have it sticking in not glued down.  I think I prefer it without.
