So bitter cold

So bitter cold with high winds yesterday. Today it is suppose to be in the 60's and climbing. I can't remember a year with back and forth weather like this.

My friend has received her birthday card and now I can share it. I love this background stamp by Simon Says called You Matter. I embossed it in white embossing powder on kraft cardstock and didn't want to cover it up so she could see what she means to me. I added the die cut flower from Memory Box. The flower center is from my stash. The white panel is cut with a Penny Black die and adhered to a kraft note card.

Wine is now cheaper than fuel. Drink, don't drive.




Be kind to one another.

Oh wow--such a beautiful card, Brenda! Love that flower die & the center is perfect! Hope your warmer weather sticks around. We've got rain now, but actually got some weeding done while it was nice. I like the saying--haha!

I really like the clean look of white and kraft, Brenda. Lovely words on the background and pretty edging on the wh8te panel x

Oh Brenda, I do love this beautiful card! I agree, that background stamp is awesome and perfect for that special friend. I love that you let the focus be on the words, but still was able to put a sweet die cut flower that is think, but still beautiful on the card. I bet your friend loved this card, I know I do. Love the color combo as well. Hugs, Brenda
