Best Wishes…

Hey Friends!

I managed to make a card for the Papertrey Blog Hop! And even better, I’ve managed to get a post up in time!

I loved the colours in this month’s inspiration photo, and initially pictured something heavy on the navy, with lots of layers and florals.

But then I went in a completely different direction. These things happen.

I was inspired by this week’s Make it Monday, to use all white die cuts, with a pop of colour. I totally cheated and used a coloured card base and then used Rustic Cream cardstock instead of white. But I’m never one to follow directions too closely…

I finally put my Make it Market County Fair Kit to work… I’ve puttered with it, but since I got it right in the middle of our huge renovation last year, I’ve barely put a dent into it. I do love this quilt die, and thought it worked pretty well for this technique.

That’s all I have for today, so I’ll let you keep on hopping… thanks for stopping in and visiting!

    OOOooo…I LOVE it, Mer! LOVE the pretty colors in the center and everything else being white (well, cream;) And the die cut looks great on top. I was puzzled as to what that was until I read…and that's because I don't own any of those kits! It looks great, though. I saw your post and thought…aw MAN…I was gonna do this today! Forgot all about it! Love this beauty…and so nice to see you creating! Hope you're feeling well!

    I'm always excited when I see your name pop up Meredith, and that you've found time to play. You have such a wealth of talent and it certainly shows on this card! I love how you used all white (or rustic cream) except for the pieced star and the sentiment…it really does pop!! Lovely, lovely card! :0)
