Swirly and Ribbons.

Hello my dear friends and readers. I am so glad to be able to find a bit of time to craft, but now that we had some beautiful days, we have spend a bit of time outside enjoying the sun and the very mild temperatures. Yesterday, I was too excited and no longer able to wait. I put my seeds on potting soil. I am hoping that the season will continue mild and the spring will be here soon. I do not plan, of course, on transplanting my seedling too soon.

This card is prepared for the DSC 218, and ribbons are a favorite of mine - sure you know that - and since we have good weather, I wanted color, lots of it. I also have needs for several Get Well cards so I made this a Thinking of you/Get Well card. I think it will bring a bit of cheer. I used the Swirly Bird bundle for the flowers and leaves and I layered the flowers for a bit of 3D. Sentiment, from the Rose Wonder, was placed on a Layering Circles, which is such delicate details for a layer. Then, the ribbon, oh so pretty and soft. I love this ribbon and the bow is always perfect. I add texture from the Fancy Fan TIEF on the Crumb Cake layer and love all those textures together.

Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you will visit again. Be well

Miriam

Dreams of love.

Oh, how nice it is to be slightly better in our routine. We still have an outside class that starts this week and that means that we have this to add to our routine. I am planning so I am not caught short, but will have to make sure I get meals prep ahead so we can all have lunch and dinner.

This week there was a class in church about family. One thing that I got our of it is that we must invest in our families with love, compassion, care, truth, and mostly time. Another thing is to not create expectations on the children that they mus be the best in everything.  When I was preparing this card for the PP312, I was thinking of all that and the sentiment from Picture Perfect jumped at me and I thought it suitable. The card, giving it is so neutral it can go as masculine or feminine, which is always a plus for me. I used the new Christmas Pines stamp set for the fern in the corner and the edges was stamped with the Playful Background along with the splashes from the Swirly Bird stamp set. A simple card as far as embellishments are concerned, but artistic in its own merits.

Thank you for your visit today. I wish you a very happy week and please do come again. Be well

Oh, the bouquet.

My, oh my, the summer this year is for real and we are loving it. I am having a hard time playing in my craft room as it is in my basement and the sun calls my name if I go there. So, I play outside instead. I work in my garden, we all swim, we have friends over, and we all have a fantastic time.

I spent some time in my craft room doing commissioned work and also some projects. I always enjoy my time in my craft room. Today, I prepare this card using the Swirly Bird stamp set and the matching thinlits Swirly Scribbles. This set is fantastic. The card is inspired in the DSC 189 and I chose to go with the same Wedding cards I have been working on. The sentiment is from the Flourishing Phrases and I love the whimsical aspect of it. Pearls were added to the center of the flowers that I popped up and I love how it all came together with the lovely Mint Macaron ribbon.

Thank you for visiting today. Please do visit the other Dostamper Stars to get more inspiration on today's challenge. Be well
