I just can't thank you enough

Hello everyone!  Well, I had good intentions to get out there and tidy up the garden, but it started raining heavily again!  What a shame : )  so will have to do something else inside...like make a card perhaps...and then the ironing.  I actually prefer ironing to gardening.

So, a quick card from me now - the challenge over at Some Odd Girl is "All White or Kraft with 2 pops of color" so I went for the white version...


 


I used Tiny Tia Bow and I didn't use any designer papers!  Instead I used my Hero Arts dot background stamp and highlighted it with my Viva Decor pearl gel pen (from Quixotic Paperie here).  I finished it off with some buttons and twine (from Quixotic Paperie here).

I am also entering my card into Cute Card Thursday for birthstones (mine are peridot and topaz for August) and I took my colour inspiration from this week's CR84FN challenge...



Okay, that's it from me today!  Back tomorrow and Tuesday with lots and lots and lots of DT cards - so hold onto your seats!!


Paper/cardstock: Bazzill cardstock
Stamps: Some Odd Girl Tiny Tia Bow, sentiment from My Favorite Things label and stamp die set
Mediums: Copics
Accents: ric rac ribbon and buttons from stash,  twine (from Quixotic Paperie here)
Tools: Martha Stewart border punch, My Favorite Things label and stamp die set

    Hi Mary J, another adorable card, those colours really do pop, we had rain here today too, went out to a craft session and then to the craft shop! Just the thing for a rainy day,
