Just Because !

It's beautiful today, it isn't raining (YAY) and I finally don't have a migraine. So I thought I'd put together a cheerful little easel card. I've been trying to use supplies I don't normally use, and it's scary how much stuff I have that fits in that category. So on this card I didn't use any stamps and used dimensional embellies instead. I used the Cheery Lynn Princess Garden Window Frame die to cut a vellum piece to go over the patterned paper. I loved that paper with the floral embellie, but the paper was too strong on it's own, and the vellum toned it down so the flowers showed better. I also used the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish. I folded some of the patterned paper for the corner embellies, and another layered embellishment for the sentiment.
I am putting this in the Cheery Lynn challenge to use corner embellishments : http://cheerylynndesignschallenge.blogspot.ca/2013/06/cheery-lynn-designs-challenge-84.html

  2. Beautiful design Shona! I smiled while reading about how scary it is to have supplies (or tools) that you don't use much. I have a lot of paper, threads, & cutting dies that fall into that category. I've also given away lots of paper & stamps that I just can't store anymore. Cheers, Shirleyx

  3. This one's a cutie, Shona! The first time I made a card without a stamp I gasped! I felt like I betrayed them somehow! LOL. Glad you're feeling better-sorry you had a migraine:they totally stink!
