Welcome! TGIF (thank GOODNESS it's Friday!!)!
Today I'm sharing a card that features one of my favorite styles: Freestyle Collage. I love adding various patterns (from paper, stamps, accents), and lots of texture (punched leaves, gems, a staple, a paper flower) to come up with a one-of-a-kind creation.
I've been trying to use up some Colorbok die cuts (the doilies and bird), and they looked kind of bare as a trio, so I added punched leaves and a paper flower.
The banner/sentiment was dressed up a bit more with a mini staple, and some pink bling.
Keepin' it short and sweet, as the evening I am writing this is quickly winding down, and my pillow is calling. :-)
Have a terrific weekend, and thank you so much for coming by!

So gorgeous! LOVING the bird!!!!
Another stunner Colleen!! Your design is gorgeous and that background paper with swirls is breathtaking! BRAVO!
Gorgeous BG paper and lovely card.
Splendid, absolutely splendid!!
A sweet little botanical grouping and a lovely selection of accents to make it even more special. One of a kind is right! Isn't that wonderful? My pillow is calling my name right now, too. Oooooh, I like the sound of it!
It all works together beautifully... lovely card, Colleen!
Colleen this isop you. Elegant. I love the mix of neutrals (g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s bird!!) with a splash of color. Fab idea to add leafs and a flower. It adds a bit of dimension and it works perfect together. Lovely!
We had a wonderful time in Liverpool. Martijn is doing well and meeting Ros was amazing.
Thinking of you; life is hectic and that's why I have not been around much. Sorry...
Sending a big hug!
