Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste / March 2021

I know that I'm not the only one who is ready for cold weather to be over and a new season to begin !! Celeste and I are so thrilled for Spring to get here  and that is our theme for our blog posts this month. My guy is anxious to get outside and work in the raised beds that he built last year. And I look forward to spending time on the deck with my planner or a good book !

I had this stamp in mind from Rubber Moon as soon as I found out the March theme. Designed by Dave Brethauer, Whistle While You Work is a whimsical take on Spring. 

A New Beginning

• On a white card base, I layered a thin strip of pink gingham paper over a floral-patterned piece, creating a border at the top ..
• I stamped the Whistle While You Work image on a lined journal card with Gina K Jet Black Amalgam Ink .
• The stamped image was colored with my COPIC markers.
• I stapled a thin strip of pale blue paper to the upper left side of the journal card, using 2 staples.
• The journal card was popped up at an angle on the floral paper with foam tabs.
• Fine glitter was placed on the water sprinkles coming from the watering can.
• A Tim Holtz Idea-ology sticker sentiment was placed at the lower right corner of the journal card. 
• Rhinestones were placed along the gingham strip at the top of the card .

Thank you for visiting Meticulosity and checking out my March card .. Now head on over to Celeste's blog - Crafting Junky - for a look at her take on our Spring theme !! Has Spring arrived where you live ?? We have a few daffodils blooming near our mailbox and they are an absolutely beautiful sight !! I'm looking forward to our COVID lockdown lessening and maybe having coffee with  a friend soon .. For my coffee with this post, I am using a colorful cup from the Philippines that a friend brought me back from her visit with her family . I'm drinking Blueberry Coffee-cake coffee and it is delicious !!

Until next time, Stay Creative

and Stay safe !!!
