Hey guys!
Today is my last post as Guest Designer for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge… I am so sad that the month is ending so soon… I had such a good time playing with the girls on the Design Team!
Today, Makiko is our hostess, and she’s challenged us to create a project with an Easter theme, since it’s right around the corner!
I actually don’t have any Flourishes Easter images, so I had to get creative – which I *love*. Sometimes when I am restricted in my supplies, I feel like I come up with some of my favourite projects.
I used the flourish in the From the Heart set to create my background, which I then dry embossed with an impression plate. Since daffodils are a perfect symbol of spring, I thought they would be fitting for an Easter card, and I just used my computer to create my sentiment. After I printed it, I die cut around it, and then used a couple of the little flourishes included in Seeds of Friendship to accent it.
Here’s a close up of my background:
Thanks for stopping in today, and again, thank you *so* much to the FTTC girls for having me… I really enjoyed my time with you, and I am so grateful for this opportunity! THANK YOU!
