Heartfelt BloomsThinking of You Card

Well, we are so glad to see the blue skies and the sun today.  Right after I posted on Friday, our power went down and we didn't get it back until early Sunday AM.  This whole area looks like a war zone.  Sandy was bad here but not like this storm.  We woke up to 7 pine trees down in the yard.  Everyone around us had trees down and the town was shut down because of debris, etc.  School is still closed - of course the girls are happy about that!  My daughter came and got our food but we still lost a lot - what a mess!  The one good think is that nothing fell on the house.  It is so sad about our trees.  During Sandy we lost 3 trees but no pine ones.  This time is was different.  Where - Oh where - is Spring!!

During the daylight hours, I was able to work on some cards which kept my mind busy.  One of our friends is having surgery next week, so I decided to use the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set by SU.  I'm ashamed to say this was the first time I put some ink on it!!

I used SU's Thick Whisper White for my card base and Tempting Turquoise for my first layer.  I used SU's Island Indigo and Crumb Cake ink for the blooms on regular Whisper White CS.  I raised up my sentiment with dimensionals and decided to dress it up with some satin ribbon.  I didn't have any Tempting Turquoise ink which is why I used Island Indigo.  I think they went together well.  So you never know how they will look until you try!

I will definitely be using this stamp set again, as I loved how the blooms came out.  We are expecting another snowstorm tonight into Wed. and I hope it won't be as bad as this last one.  They said 8-12". Such fun!  Have a great week!

Thanks for stopping by,
