More is More

Happy Wednesday!  Today is a day to begin trying to catch up on some things before the holidays hit full-force.  Note that I said begin “trying”.  I’m not sure if it’s even possible to actually be caught up, because I can’t really remember the last time that happened. LOL! This morning I made the time to take Tessa to the park for a walk and I was so happy that my friend Lisa and her pup Molly could join us.  It was a great way to start the day!  Being with Lisa reminded me that I had not yet shared the birthday card I made for her last month. (click on it to see it larger)

This card features the SU set Field Flowers along with SU book print designer paper and a floral patterned paper that I cannot for the life of me remember which 6×6 pad it’s from.  I loved Field Flowers the minute I saw it in the catalog and the samples in the SCS gallery are wonderful.  I was heavily influenced by several samples there when creating this card -especially by 2 cards (this one and this one) created by Eileen LeFevre.  Since I don’t have the card in front of me, I don’t remember all the exact colors and such, but I must say that I had a blast working on this card.  As much I enjoy coloring, I really miss just straight-forward stamping and this set is perfect for that.  It also plays to my love of a more vintage look that I don’t play with very often any more.

Thanks for stopping by.  I’m off to start working on that daunting to-do list!  I hope you have great day!
