One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

A Wedding Card

My granddaughters volleyball coach is getting married this Saturday.  
Of course I would make a card for him, but we don't know much about their likes, taste and home decor.  So I had my daughter text him and ask what flowers they are having in their wedding and also the color theme.
He did NOT have a clue...maybe peach and turquoise?, but NO idea about flowers!
So that shot an idea down about using their specific flower and color scheme. 
However in their registry they wanted the Fiesta dishes...4 of each of many colors!
So I decided to use that reference and painted my card!
I used Altenew Beautiful Day, embossed in gold on Mixed Media paper and used my distress inks to color it in...kind of went with a light turquoise color for the leaves!
Added some gold hearts since it is a wedding card!

Here is a close up, it doesn't show the shine from the WOS that I used on the flowers, but it really is pretty IRL!!
Okay, now I can go watch the Women's volleyball team play in the Olympics...put my feet up and relax!!
Have a good one friends!
Heart Hugs, friends!

PTI anniversary Day 7 ~ Stripes!

Day 7 of the Anniversary Challenges is all about stripes.
I used BB Super Stripes in spring moss, winter wisteria and lavender moon.
The flowers are all from Bigger Blooms with a little wink of Stella added for some shine!
 
Can you believe this has taken me all day and into the night to make one card...
Okay I confess to taking a nap after sitting for hours
and not making one thing to show for it!
Well, I do have scraps of things to show for it...
you know all sorts of stripes that overlapped or didn't match, or left too much space in between...
you get the idea...
I managed to salvage this one, so this will be it for the night.
I think I will go watch some Olympics now.
 
the rain is back
the snow is melting
it was fun while it lasted
 
Heart hugs,
