Oh how I miss my card making and posting!! Things have just been busy, busy, busy, with no sign of it slowing down. Work is busy, life is busy. I know we are all in the same boat! I did carve out some time to make a card yesterday...for a VERY special reason. My sweet, sweet, most awesome friend, Carol is now an Inkspirational DESIGN TEAM MEMBER!!! WOOT, WOOT!!! Those of you who are lucky enough to know Carol, know that this team has struck gold having her on their team! So what better way to celebrate, and congratulate her than to make a card for the challenge?!!!
The word prompt is "bloom" and here's what I came up with.
I love that the word prompt allows for such range in how to apply it. I went subtle, and stamped my blooms in a "supporting role" on this card, but really love how they look. I used Lawn Fawn (the deer, and the "deer"), Mama Elephant (the blooms!) and some old PTI stamps to finish off the sentiment.
If you haven't already, play along with me!!!
Congrats again, sweet Carol!! Just a matter of time before more DT's come calling to snap you up!!!
Thanks for coming by to see me!
