That kind of day....

Good morning, and I do hope your day will be good!  Lots of appointments again today, but the sun is shining and things aren't going too bad.  My card though, is another matter.....it was supposed to be a one layer card, except I stamped it upside down!  Oh well, add a few layers and I'll go with clean and simple.


Although my craft room is full of things I've purchased, often times its those little things that you come by in other ways that prove most delightful.  This stamp, Just Buzzin' By is one of those.  By Penny Black, it is at least 9 years old, in that my youngest daughter bought it to make thank you cards for her wedding!  As she isn't into crafts....its now mine!  How cool is that!

The colouring is done with copics and a bit of prisma pencil for shading.  I had to keep the embellishments to a minimum as it is for Father's Day!

  6. Joyce, You'd never know things went wrong with this card. It came out fabulous. I love that image and you did a fabulous coloring/shading job on it. I really like how you added your squiggly lines leading away from your brads. Nice touch. sometimes something so little add so much and this is the case here. I also love the flower.
