Patiently Waiting.....

What a lovely day we are having.....lots of sun and a wonderful breeze....the type of weather where you like to go and work in the garden.  I'm hoping by weekend I'll be ready for the garden centre, but my poppies are already established and now I'm just waiting for the blooms!   But in the meantime.......


How about a card, made with the Poppy Background stamp from Hero Arts.  For this stamping technique you apply a number of different DI to the stamp before you stamp and you also need to use a glossy cardstock.   A very simple card to make, and a different look everytime.  The sentiment is computer generated, printed directly on the card before adding the image and trims.  And of course, there has to be a butterfly!

I hope you too, are having a wonderful day, and get the opportunity to enjoy this season's pleasures.  Thanks for visiting and happy crafting.

    Oh so beautiful Joyce - fabulous colours and great technique combined to make one stunning card. I love it and yes there has to be a butterfly too.
    Glad the weather is warming up for you - we've had 23 degrees today a lovely day but with some cloud at lunchtime.
    luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
