{Thinking of You}


 Hello and welcome to my blog! Today was a dreary, over cast day which may explain why no-one stopped by to check out my scrapbook/stamp yard sale. Or my suspicions of me being the only card maker in my area just might be true! I really miss my craftin' friends on the East coast! Ok, lets talk about my card...  I used the SU set "Garden Greetings", and "Curly Cute" to create this card. The inks are from A Muse Studio, Sky, Ocean, Slate and Lichen. After I stamped the largest and darkest blue flowers (ocean) I sprinkled clear embossing powder on them and then heat embossed. I love the way it makes the blue stand out. Beautiful! I stamped the sentiment on twill ribbon using Slate ink.  I added a coffee filer carnation (so love saying that) that I accented with Sky ink. I finished off the card with machine stitching. I created my card using the following color inspiration challenge:
