Spring is finally here and what better theme for my May collaboration with Celeste !! It is a bit rainy here today but Brian just planted some items in the garden and is happy for the wet weather today .. Our Spring inspiration photo is beautiful and I hope it inspires you too ..
You do not just wake up and become the butterfly -
Growth is a process
I loved this stamp from the minute I saw it !! This beautiful image is Sapling Tales from Aall & Create .. A stack of books with some lovely flowers - perfect for my post today !!
- I stamped the image on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
- It was colored with my COPICS and Flair pens.
- I die cut the image with a Double Stitched Rectangle Die.
- A piece of vintage-looking floral paper from the Pretty Things collection by My Mind's Eye was adhered to a Kraft card base.
- I matted the completed stamped panel with a pale pink cardstock.
- The panel was adhered to the floral paper with foam tabs.
I love the message on this card - Choose Joy .Sometimes in the midst of turmoil in your life, it's hard to remember to be grateful and happy. Today I am grateful for my friendship with Celeste and our mutual love of coffee and cards . We are both choosing JOY today. Check out her card over at her blog - Crafting Junky . I know it will be as beautiful as all her other cards ..
My coffee today is Vanilla Skyline from Brooklyn Bean Roastery . I made iced coffee and have it in my new cold cup from Starbucks. I had enough points on my Starbucks card to get this cup for free and couldn't resist it . It obviously has our sweet cat Pixie on it !! The design is by Chinese artist Monyee Chau . Don't you love it ?!?!?!
Thank you for stopping by my post today . Please check out Celeste's also. We will be back next month with more coffee, cards and inspiration for you !!
Until next time -
Stay Creative
