It's great to be back today wishing all of my friends, followers, visitors and viewers a happy day.
They are back in school...all the children in my neighborhood. That yellow bus came, picked up and hopefully and prayerfully dropped them off at the elementary, middle and high school this morning.
Summer was extraordinary eventful and fun but it is time to get back to learning some great facts and information.
In talking with my grand on yesterday, she is still so excited with her school year so far. She's beginning her third week today in fourth grade. Some of the things she told me really made me smile. I've taken that joy and titled my card with it this morning (You Make Me Smile). Since I didn't adorn it with a lot of bulk...this will make a good donation into my give-away box for the soldiers.
First, using Neenah white cardstock, a word processing program on my computer and my printer, I typed and printed out the sentiment. I cut the cardstock down to the A2 size.
Next, I used a circle die on the cardstock so I could color within the circle. I used three distress inks (stormy sky, abandoned coral and scattered straw).
I stamped the floral images with black archival ink using the Kaisercraft Lilac Whisper clear stamps set. The flowers were colored with pink, purple and green watercolor markers.
I attached a green bow made with Offray ribbon to the bottom of the flower. To finish off the card, I placed a beach chair from Recollections dimensional stickers at the bottom of the circle and applied droplets of Ranger's hydrangea liquid pearl to the upper and bottom right corners.
Yes, you also make me smile (my crafting friends and viewers).
This card will be added to http://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com
