Amazing April weather--feels like summer! We took the doggies for a day trip to check out the lake where we boat. The docks are in water & the marina will open very soon. The 2 open loops at the campground had a lot of people & we were surprised by how many boats were in the lake. The water would be freezing, but guess they were fishing. Thought you might like to see a picture of me with Blitz & Keesha. You can see the top of snow-covered Mount Jefferson in the background.
Now for my card. I used the vibrant colors from PDCC128
HERE to make my Flourishes TT card where the challenge
HERE is to use your favorite stamp set. Not sure I can say I have a favorite from Fourishes, but the Medallion Motif ranks way up there! It's one of the stamps I knew I wanted as soon as I saw it in the pre-release post. The image is colored with COPICS RV19 & YR04 after being embossed in black. The same markers color the butterfly from the Butterflies & Blossoms set. The butterfly is covered with Distress Rock Candy Stickles. The Recollections hard molded flowers are also edged with the same markers & Stickles. I haven't used this All Night Media punch in ages, but glad I didn't get rid of it now. The center dies are Spellbinders Labels 9 & a circle. I had to trace & cut the Flamingo Pink one by hand for the size I needed. The gems are also colored with RV19--love being able to do that! Foam tape is used to attach the Medallion panel & die cuts & tiny pearls finish off the card. I appreciate your visiting & leaving me a comment. Wishing you a great week.
