The fact that Spring is coming is freakin' Awesome !! Our weather here in Virginia Beach has been crazy - 70 degrees one day and in the 30's the next. I've been fighting cold after cold and I'm really sick and tired of it .. Plus it's rained so often that I am feeling like a duck.. So when I saw the latest cookie challenge at If You Give A Crafter A Cookie, my first thought was that Spring would be here soon ( hopefully with better weather ) AND that is freakin' Awesome !!
I went with a wildflower theme to get me in a Springtime mood. I had the perfect supplies for this card !! The library card pocket, washi, and floral stamp are all from various Crate Paper "Maggie Holmes" collections that I found at Tuesday Morning !! National Letter Writing Month is coming up in April and I am in a fabulous group that provides a pen-pal for the entire month. I will be sending the card I've made to mine and using all of the other supplies to create more fun items to mail !!
- I started off with a wildflower card base.
- I spelled out the word AWESOME at the top of a tag using my stash of thousands of letter stickers. Am I the only one who still loves stickers ?!?!?! I then placed the tag in the pocket.
- The floral circle was stamped on Neenah Stardust White cardstock, colored with my Brea Reese markers and then punched out with a decorative circle punch.
- Multi-colored rhinestones were placed at intervals around the edge of the circle and then adhered to the library card pocket with Foam Tabs.
- Strips of washi were placed at the top right and bottom left of the library card pocket and then adhered to the card base with Tombow MONO Adhesive + Permanent Runner.
This card is so bright and cheerful that I can't wait to send it out in the mail. I wrote a message on the tag telling my penpal how much I am looking forward to the entire month of getting to know her better !!
This Challenge runs from March 7- March 20, so link up a project of your own that is freakin' Awesome !! And be sure to head over to IF YOU GIVE A CRAFTER A COOKIE and check out all of the great projects by my fellow Design Team members. I hope that you will follow my blog if you don't already and also leave me a comment about my current project ..
