Happy Monday


Hi guys,

Hope you are all keeping cool on this very hot and sticky day. I can't believe that it is July already. I had such a long list of things I wanted to do this summer, and I feel like summer is just whizzing by.

I wanted to apologize to the wonderful ladies that came to my Birthday Party at http://www.pointerscrapbooking.com/ for not putting up their pictures and the rest of my birthday cards. I forgot to bring my camera, and, Heidi (owner of pointers) took all of the pictures and sent them to me, and for whatever reason, we just couldn't download it. however, the pictures are on Pointers website. Thanks so much for your support and good wishes.

On the today's card, I decided to revisit one of my layouts that I did last year by punching out this gorgeous BoBunny patterned paper with EK success circle punches and Gina K "Friends Are Forever" stamp set which I love. http://www.ginakdesigns.com/

I stamped the flower with black Memento ink and then stamped the heads of the flowers again, cut them and then layered them onto the card. I coloured the flower with Prismacolour pencils and odorless mineral spirits. I used green rhinestones in the flower and pink rhinestones on the side. The sentiment is from Hero Arts. I don't know how well the rich colours of the paper and my colouring will show on screen, but the colour is a rich plum, pink and green, and ,I coloured the flower with plum and pink.

Hope you like my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

I would love to hear from you.

Hugs,

Nicky

I love it Nicky! I remember that layout from one of the classes I took of yours and I've used it over and over again - it's beautiful. Love how you popped up the two flower heads.
