Life sure has gotten hectic for me lately, and it's all good, but it's a lot. When I can, I squeeze in crafty time in my new play space and lose myself for a little while. I want to share a recent creation with you:
I just love beautiful floral stickers, the 3-dimensional kind (like K & Co.'s). This bouquet and the little bee came from the same pack, and really help "make" the card. The embossed background is made with a Spellbinders Impressabilities plate, then lightly washed with white craft ink to help bring out the contrast of raised areas.
This is short and sweet, so I can go check some more things off my To-Do list now. Thanks so much for coming by!
