Hi! Here's a unique backstory for the making of my card today. Last Saturday night, I woke up about 3 am with a headache. Thank goodness I don't get migraines, and these headaches I've had all my life have lessened as I get older, but this one was bad enough to wake me up. So I took a caffeine pill, and it took awhile before it kicked in. In the meantime, you know how your thoughts are in the wee hours - I went from caffeine to coffee, and then I had the idea to use these beautiful cafe au lait colors for a card. When I got up the next morning, I decided to recreate
a design I've done before using them. Here it is.
supplies: cream cardstock, various browns/tans and a green from Doodlebug Rainbow paper pads:
ginghams, florals, stripes, dots, MFT
Stitched Blooms dies, sentiment from Hero Arts Hello Sunshine Daisies, stamped in vintage photo distress ink, Spellbinders
Hemstitch Rectangle die, ancient My Mind's Eye enamel dots
Brown flowers wouldn't usually be my first choice, but I do like how this turned out, with all the little patterns mixing in that 1 color - what do you think? Thanks for visiting today!
Hey Lin, this is beautiful. Love the pops of green.
ReplyDeleteI think it is beautiful. I love the shades of brown for the flowers with the pop of green with the leaves. TFS
